I have heard good reviews of this company, two friends from Ireland took their emt-b accelerated class a few years back and loved it.

Over here anyone with first aid training is usually called a medic. We call our emts EMT and our paramedics PARAMEDIC.

if you shipped to Ireland i'd be all over that!!

Yeah no problem, this is unique to Dublin, the capital. We have a national ambulance service that is run by the Health Service Executive (public body responsible for all areas of healthcare) so if your the furthest south or at the most northern tip of the republic you will have the same service...

It's hard to explain to someone outside of Ireland but here it goes: Our advance paramedic is called a paramedic elsewhere in the world(no idea why we felt the need to make a new name for it) and our paramedic lies somewhere in between. You could class our paramedic's as ILS and our advance...

Here in Ireland we have national guidelines for each level of practitioner. Here are the Clinical Practice Guidelines for EMT: http://www.phecit.ie/Images/PHECC/Clinical%20Practice%20Guidelines/2014%20CPG/20141031%20Emergency%20Medical%20Technician%20CPGs.pdf Paramedic...

here is the education and training standards for the advance paramedic program: http://www.phecit.ie/Images/PHECC/Advance%20Paramedic.pdf emt, paramedic and advance paramedic training times broken down...

In short, quite hard! as said above the frontline (911) services are run by two public services, they only recruited recently and may not recruit again for another year or 4. Work with the privates is very hit and miss, depends more so who you know then what you know. An American paramedic...

By the book its 140 hours of education, id say its split close enough to 50/50 in regards to theory and practical. then we sit a 100 question MCQ and we sit 8 osce's(objective structured clinical exam) It's really noticeable over here who went to a certificate printing school and who went...

I usually start off with a good apology to the recieving doc(im sorry but your going to have to deal with this guy), hand over any extra or unused substances that may have appeared from the pockets en route to the ED.

you guys call it special k too? thought that was just an irish thing! has anyone come across blue ghost before? a couple months back i had a teen go into cardiac arrest after swallowing a fist full. from what we where told its a pretty potent version of extacy cut with something random. meth...

Texas really seems the place to be in ems in america huh? Anything ive read from Texas re: scope of practice looks impressive and progressive. the basic scope in some places is insultingly low. here is the clinical practice guidelines for irish emt's ...

Agreed. Ive been working at concerts for 8 years on and off and rock concerts typically produce alot of drink and weed, with the odd bit of cocaine abusew every once in a while. We cover alot of dance music events (rave, techno type of stuff) over here and get alot of overdoses with mdma...

well we wouldnt treat and discharge. they'd get it while waiting for als or on the way to the ed thankfully. i dont think id like to rely soley on the process of glycogeniosis if i were a diabetic. we'd usually check bgl in all unresonpsive patients, all patients who werent gcs15 and post...

in ireland emt's can do bgl but we can use oral glucose and glucogon i.m to do something about a low bgl reading

get rid of the oral glucose and look in a disapproving fashion at the rn, 1g/1ml glucogon i.m(its all i could give for this), re asses bgl after 3-5 mins and transport. consider a basic airway if still not a&ox4. re check bgl on transport to hospital. i'd begin to think the low bgl isnt the...

how it goin?? from ireland myself and an emt so i know only to well your situation(been licenced since 2009) the ozzies have a much higher standard of education and training it seems so our nq-emt wont be recognised over there. if i were you id go over work your *** off for the 1 year visa, do...
