Pssh. Me and my crew last night got to a call 20 seconds before we were even dispatched. It was a mutual aid and we knew it was going to us.

It could just be her age I guess. I'll make sure I practice every opportunity I get.

Well that's why I didn't mention about vitals prior to getting into the rig. That's the easy part. Trust me the scope wasn't too nice. The other EMT on board was able to get her pulse. I guess it's something I have to work on.

Well I went on a call the other day and it was my first time teching along with the first time doing vitals without a life pack in the ambulance. I was feeling for a pulse and simple could not find it through all the bumps in the road. Along with that I couldn't get an accurate BP because I...

Well I was working at my volunteer agency and we were out getting food and heard the next town over needed mutual aid. We knew exactly where it was going to be and it was our aid so we rushed to the scene. Dis - Volunteer agency to this street address for a patient who fell Driver - On scene...

Phew. I was worried. I didn't think my threat was that bad lol

Who is that directed to?

Well I understand what you're saying. Nurses do impact the families and impact how the patients end up, care wise. PA's and MD's control what methods or drugs will be used, as well as amounts and times per day. Nurses don't have a decision making part as much as PA's or MD's do.

I'll put it on my list.

In our rigs we have a moniter that does BP, HR, o2 sat, and a bunch of other things. In NY we're allowed to do o2 sats as basics.

Practice makes perfect. That sums it up pretty well.

Yeah, it's a good knife. The only problem I had with it is it broke about a week into using it and wouldn't spring open. Also the blade isn't the sharpest, so take a stone to that bad boy.

I feel it's kind of weird just going on scene and immediately asking their allergies and meds, unless the patient is in some serious condition and time is imminent. You have to treat them like people.

Well I don't want to be a nurse because I want to have more control over the patient outcome. I don't want to become an MD because I don't like the hours and always being on call as well as the loans and the amount of schooling.

It is lol, I just want the patch :3

I forgot to mention that I'm going for PA with that BS in Bio.

I just got my EMT-B and I'm working on my BS in Biology.

Alright guys and gals, I'm going to start off with a word and the next person replies with what that word reminds you of. For an example I start with fish. As a reply I'd say water, and so forth. Let's start it off with: Sleep

That is a creepy *** smiley...

Hey guys and gals, I'm about to register for the https://secure.usstandardissue.com/Registration.cfm# to purchase gear when need be, and I have a few questions. When it's talking about service branch, I'm a part of a local volunteer corp so what should I put in the unit/group area. Also would my...
