i have checked on the laptop , they really dont care, we have a computer at the station specifically for personal use, the others are for reports. I made sure to check up on anything i wasn't sure about, And i plan on bringing 6-7 bottles of water along with my lunch. Anyway good luck on your...

i hear you on that. I plan on bringing my 7inch notebook laptop with me to keep busy with something to do on downtime, assuming there is any. im not used to waking up around 400 am, so it will be a good experience for me. ill try to update tomorrow night.

ask questions. at an appropriate time of course, always be prepared and show up prepared, the way you present yourself is always key. Good luck!

Actually we don't have medics on our rigs, we have intercepts, from a larger private company, our crew consists or driver, EMT, which is an average crew or add a third rider which will be my place, I hear you about being proactive, im probably going to the station after school to go through my...

Sounds like a good idea to me, especially if its a factory or distribution center etc., I dont think it should have to be EMT, i know most states have a level just under EMT and above basic first aid, close enough to EMT just with a few less skills under the scope of practice.

thanks for the responses, i kinda wish it was a night shift, but i can only run until 10pm per company policy because I'm under 18, state law says 12pm and under our policy i can only stay after 10 if we constantly get called out before return to quarters. last weekend they only had 3 calls...

Rural, sorry i forgot that, I kinda figured that i could get anything , i was wondering if there were any "common" weekend calls. Thanks for the replies so far, Anyone got a suggestion to refresh myself on , im practicing vitals tonight on my family, been a few weeks since ive had to do any, but...

Go on galls and check out the contents of their bags, that will give you a decent idea of the most basic supplies, as for anything else, get what makes sense or you think there's a chance of using. Go to local EMS service or FD and check out a rescue truck or an ambulance

So saturday i run my first full shift, Ive ran a few hours here an there standby etc. I was wondering what i should refresh myself on, its 530 am to 530 pm, so if anyone routinely runs a similar shift, could you share what your average calls are. im just trying to find out what to expect,

my suggestion would be to take a regular Basic class. I have a good grasp on my current skills bt, two weeks really couldnt even scratch the surface IMHO. Its up you though, if you think you could learn in that amount of time GO FOR IT!, whatever your decision Good luck.

Welcome to emtlife! Have Fun!!

Lets see, mostly school and trying to get anything done that needs too.

Hey dont worry about being young. Use that as an advantage, you can keep knowledge in and it will stick now. Good luck on passing

oops double post, having troublw with my browser lately

I keep a jump bag thats no more than a basic first aid kit. No need for airway kits etc, I do run With a volly company so we can go to any call, or if there is a second crew call. But where i live im near a school and sports complex, We get dispatched to both around 2 times a year so ill always...

WOW I am glad i dont do IFT, 8 and 11 hour transports, how do you guys do it? i would get bored in about half an hour

Do those boots come with matching ski's?;) Actually i think galls has the skis!! LOL

I also wear gloves for almost every PT, not only for my safety but there safety too. Working a shift you can end up in contact with lots of bacteria etc. Just glove up and save the trouble.

WOW!!!!!!! completely ridiculous

Brown that is one bright jumpsuit! they only let us wear vests that say ems! LOL
