I am enrolled at DMACC (Des Moines Area Community College) Tue-Thur 6pm to 10pm. Makes for a long day but I love it. I have some realy great clasmates. A bunch are vets like me. Can't wait for the weekend to be over, 4 days between classes sucks. :D

Nice. Good luck

OK, ladies and gentlemen, lets get down to this critique. I've looked at the reports, Seems we've had a busy week! Now, right away I'd like to say some words about supplies. Our inventory's pretty decent, and I realize Sometimes you need an item for use in your own pack, But whoever...

You answered it. :) Just for giggles, here is the slide from the lecture showing the above as tidal volume

OK. Given that the term "Tidal volume" is wrong, Are my basic assumptions and theories correct?

OK, we were given the formula: breaths per min * Volume (500ml) - Dead Air Space (150ml) = Tidal Volume. I understand the equation given normal quality breaths. My assumptions are that the 500ml and 150ml are normal adult volumes. So to extrapolate, with an adult only taking roughly half...

My first class was also on the 16th at a different school. Our instructors dropped 4 students for not having things like CPR card, HS/College transcripts, or medical clearance. There were a few that got added to the class late so they were given until next tuesday. I can tell that these...

Nope, 21B, I'm screwed. :)

Tomorrow is the first day of EMT-B class. Wish me luck. :ph34r:

I will have my EMT-B at the end of this term (May), and I was wanting to find a workstudy programm I can do while in school for my AS in EMS. I would like something that will help keep my EMT-B skills sharp while I am still in school. Any Ideas? Do Hospitals or ambulance services do this type...

Well, I did it. I am registered to start classes at Des Moines Area Community college Jan 12th. I will take EMT-B this term and EMT-I over the summer term. Then, in the fall, I will transfer to Mercy College and spend a year there working on an associates in Emergency Medical Services...

Yep, I just caught that. Wow, I need to sleep more. :) Thanks for the fast responses. I think what I will do is take EMT-B and EMT-I plus 4 of the degree classes at DMACC and then transfer to Mercy for the ASEMS degree. Should graduate late summer 2011 with work experience thru our VFD...

Could I get a few of you to look at the links below, and tell me what you think? This is the school I am planning on attending, but it looks like the EMT-B and Paramedic courses are the same, with one real odd difference. The EMT-B course has two additional classes. EMT-B...

It's 6 hours of class per week for 3 months. Plus your clinic time and ambulance time. At least that is how I read the schedule. I will find out more when I go for orientation.

Variant of this prank One of the pranks that got pulled in the barracks(YES I got tagged by it) was to empty a tylenol or other capsule type pill, fill it with food coloring and put it in the shower head. It takes a few seconds for the hot water to melt the capsule so the person won't see it...

I am a combat vet that lives in Central Iowa (Des Moines). I was not a medic in the Army, I was a combat engineer (I made things go boom). I was medically discharged for something that will not effect my ability to be an EMT. I am currently going thru the VA to start school for EMT-B. I am...
