No, I do not remotely agree with your opinion. GSW and stabbing patients are simple, control bleeding and get to a surgeon. Period. Cardiac arrests are also somewhat simplistic. You follow an etched in your mind algorithm. If it is successful, you get ROSC and an opportunity to transport them...

I'll probably get an old unit and lock out its energy. I had a rhythm generator but recently sold it.

Turning on would be a nice feature. Zoll would be great.

Lily, You may want to add where you are located before taking the advice of others who may not have a clue on the configurations or working conditions of your location. That being said, the CCT unit will give you a broader exposure to those that are truly ill or severely injured. Do...

@ Mycrofft, I've got the simulator software, but still want to add the tools for some hands on scenerios. maybe I can get my hands on an old LP-4 :D Thanks Robb, let me know if you guys want to offload anything.

Looking for a used defibrillator for ACLS / PALS classes. Doesn't need to be functioning, nor does it need to be in great condition. Anyone have an old unit just sitting around? If so please message or email me. Thanks.

Go to any of the major employment sites and type in Houston EMT. You will find quite a few opportunities. Also do a google search for private Houston EMS and you will find hundreds of EMS services that are usually hiring. Do a bit of research and you'll find something. Good luck.

Only one response?????? Wow, I figured this would spread like wildfire. A chance for an EMT-B to get away from the BLS and dialysis runs for a unique experience few will ever have. I can honestly say this is one of the few times in EMS i've been surprised. lol

Yes, quite a few in fact. Can you be more specific in what you are looking for?

Below is a link to our current EMT- B opening in Houston, Texas. This exciting opportunity will provide successful candidates an opportunity to work with a CAMTS accredited transport service along side our High Risk Maternal and Neonatal specialty transport teams. This position will involve...

I have a gently used, but in mint working condition, Laerdal HeartSim 200 rhythm generator. Unit is complete with instructions and soft carry case. The retail for $1,100+. I am open to reasonable offers. Looking to get around $750. Message or email me any questions or inquiries.

Nope, I keep it concealed where the exposure is not a possibility (i.e. don't wear it on my belt). We can't wear them on the outside of our flightsuit, so in the pocket she stays. On the other note, it will be a cold day in hell before a patient goes anywhere near my personal phone. They can...

In the nearly 20 years I've owned a cell phone, I have never had to wash one with soap or water. Why would that be an issue or factor? I carry mine in a Balistic hardcore case. Same level of protection as the Otterbox defender, just a bit thinner. Iused to love the Otterbox until they changed...

Own 2 homes. One my wife and I had built just before our youngest child was born. We wound up moving to West Texas for a year and when we returned we needed a bigger home. We now have family renting the first home. Regardless, having two mortgages really sucks!

UMBC's CCEMTP program is not a recognized licensed program. It is one of many available courses that provides an overview of critical care. Most UMBC programs do not include a clinical experience and their reputation does not hold nearly the same weight as it did 10 years ago. The only...

2011 marked a 5th year decline in FTE fatality averages. The years included in this study were higher. EMS has the same formal reporting requirements as fire and police. The OSHA 300 log must be submitted yearly for any occupational injury or illness beyond the first aid level. This is a...

EMS is still significantly lower than construction when it comes to the annual BLS fatality rate. 2011's rate per FTE was 8.9. 2010 was even higher. This data demomstrates a higher than average fatality rate, but no where near the highest in FTE or total quantity.

I almost picked up the night shift at the FD, kinda glad I didnt now. Thoughts and prayers to all.

My rides for the day........... Slow day, kinda bored.

Yes it is an authorized exemption to the FLSA. Perfectly legal. It has been contested quite often, but it is up to the employer to set the rate, frequency, and duration of your pay providing it complies with the law.
