Awesome!

Because it's easier to draw 2 compatible drugs into one syringe and only have to flush once. Saves time and effort.

Remember, treat the pt, not the numbers or machine. She was A/O X 4, and I assume she had good color, no diaphoresis? Did you try a leg BP? She didn't need fluids or epi. What was her HR by the way?

First, does your EMT school offer insurance? My nursing school did. Also, you say your disabled and receive health care/insurance, but not why you'll lose it if you work or move. There used to be "cheap" insurance called catastrophic insurance for emergencies. That might be an option.

Not getting it. Not done my own research, but I've read some news articles where they mention 6 months efficacy. I also think back to SARS, MERS, H1N1 and no vaccines for them, as far as I remember, and they all passed away eventually. And perhaps so will COVID. My 2 cents.

Be careful. ACEN is the gold standard of accreditation.

Not sure, but they work.

Yep.

Low says could be due to what's been said: tachypnea and shallow resps. A brown paper bag to slow her down might have helped to improve her says. Obviously, the NRB helped. Don't base your question on what happened after pt got to the hospital. Apples and oranges.

I have a Core and an OHT. Use them semi-frequently. They're useful.

Didn't see the skills sheets on NREMT.ORG. Where can I find them? Thinking of challenging NRP. Thanx in advance.

Couldn't agree more. From another reply, if DP and a compression bandage works, great. But there are times where a TQ is what's required. Yes, I have used them. They work.

Wow! Thanks. Sounds simple.

That would be good if they'd offer it. Hopefully they will and he has the time. COVID is screwing up everything.

Hey, me again. I'm due for recert by December, so I'm going to got EEI. Didn't see any curriculum outline on there site. Any info? Thanx!

Seat belt cutters have their uses. Like zip ties or areas not amenable to scissors.

If you can write an exam and make money, go for it. I don't know how tests are priced, but regardless, these tests are evidenced-based, just as RN licensing and certification tests are. Exams are not written based on field experience, but on what the cognizant, controlling organization...

It's all open-book, or the class answering the test together; CPR, ACLS, PALS. No more Mega Code. They're pretty much a give-me.

The two worlds of EMS and nursing are far apart, yet close in many ways. Having spent a good deal of time in both, I can understand what you say, and what your detractors say. This conversation is reminiscent of the ongoing argument about degrees. As long as those arguing against both parrot the...

You are 100% correct in what you said. Go for it!
