    Emt partner

    Personally, I wouldn't talk to him about it. I feel like it is an unnecessary awkward conversation that can worsen the situation. Talking to him is essentially putting it on him to change. What I think needs to change is you. First, just make sure you're being nice and try to smile. Smiling...

    Should EMS follow nurse's lead and go on strike?

    Sorry if I am misunderstanding, but I don't think they said their info is from 12 years ago. Their mom recently had hip replacement.

    The places I've mentioned is less than half of the places I've worked. I think it's just a big wall of text so maybe you got confused or misunderstood. I always like writing Harry Potter novel length posts, lol. I was complaining about my pay at my current company, but don't have a problem...

    My manager told me I needed to ask >60 days in advance. I only asked 35 days in advance. I don't know the rules enough to challenge him. I am annoyed, but a month should be enough time for me to find coverage. If I don't find coverage, I am the type of person to show up even if I don't want to...

    Hands On defibrillation - HOD

    A county I used to work in started doing this years ago. They started doing it after I left. I have not attempted this, but honestly, shockable rhythms are pretty infrequent for me. I've seen them only a handful of times in like the past decade.

    This job will sacrifice you in a heart beat for a cold half eaten hotpocket on the ground. Don't sacrifice your life for this job. Girlfriend > work everytime, especially if you work in EMS.

    Colorado license is one of the cheaper licenses to get, lol. I think it was something silly like $1.60 or something like that "donated" to get it?

    Air Methods to Close Medivac Bases Across Several States

    Greenfield? Where or what is that? I would be so grateful if they opened a base in Greenfied, CA or something more North, lol. I don't recognize acronym ISR. I assume it means In Service Rate.

    I don't even bother buying stethoscopes anymore. I just look for the newest EMR or EMT and ask to borrow theirs. :]

    Air Methods to Close Medivac Bases Across Several States

    On top of lower reimbursements due to the No Surprise Act, there's a problem with staffing due to a shortage of nurses not willing to fly for lower pay than travel/hospitals and pilots just in general. Maybe this will improve staffing and increase in the service rate for bases since employees...

    Tomorrow, I am flying to Denver for a "bariatric airway bootcamp" CE. I am under the impression they are gonna be using cadaver? Not 100% sure. A friend convinced me to go. I got a bunch of points from traveling so just paid everything with points.

    Interview tips!

    EMS interviews are not that different than any other kind of job interview. They are most likely going to open up with "Tell us about yourself." They are then going to follow up with questions about customer service, conflict resolution, stress, team work, communication, safety, etc.. They...
