welcome nice to have you here

well it dosnt really matter what you wear cause if the pt assessment is done well, your going to find it anyway. keep in mind some ppl have tattoos as a medical alert now( inside arm or wrist). so always keep an eye open and take a good history.

yeah thats true

i dont like anyone i know enough to get that on my hands. no glove no love

thats always a good way to help to, its too bad you can't get some OR time or even time with an RT. that was a good rotation for me as well.

wow what a lucky guy. and a great call for all the ems workers.

i love my IPhone :) i have a bunch of useless stuff and some good medical stuff to.

well the only thing that really helps is doing it in real life we did it in the OR in my paramedic program. it helped me to make a good seal. does your school do any OR time?

i have never forgot to put gloves on but i have gone to itch my face or brush my hair out of my face with some pretty gross gloves on not thinking, thank god i caught my self at the last second yuck!

good luck come back safe :)

i hate PCRs so im not much help but for patches i write my vitals, RX and pt sex/age and CC. on a note pad then have that to keep me on track and keep it short, they put the mic down after the first 2 mins.:sad:

k i didnt mean to start a fight i just wanted to know so lets play nice. and im a girl by the way but that dosnt matter. i wanted everyones point of veiw not just medics. and im thankful for the all the info i have gotten.

thanks guys for all the info it was neat to get an idea as to how this training works :)

lol cute joke

um why would you take pics with your phone? thats not your job your there to treat any pts. leave that to the cops and dont touch anything you dont need to.

dear god that looks like a crappy movie.

ok thanks cause i was just wondering how they could have that kind of training and be medics. cause i know i had to do a lot more school then that :) i dont even think my tag would transfer to the US then would it?

Hey Everyone, i was just wondering what kind of training you guys need to be EMTs or Paramedics in the US. Ive noticed that alot of ppl say that an EMT program is only a 120hr? just asking cause in my primary care paramedic program we had about 6 months of class time. 2 months of...

Id transport the pt in the lateral postion and stabilize the knife,(was never taught to remove an impaled object not sure what they teach you in the us.) and stop any major bleeding, put and NRB on and get a line going and make tracks.

i think it should but i dont know what u guys can do in the US, but my program was longer then 120hrs. so if thats the case then um no it shouldnt be, but i think up here then yeah if your school is cma approved then more skills only help to advance ems.
