I don't see any difference between an EMT-Bs ability to assess this pt and a paramedics ability to assess this pt. obviously when dealing with cardiac related events, respiratory distress/failure, medication administration, and severe trauma a paramedic has the increased knowledge and scope to...

When assessing a pt there should be no difference between and EMT-B and a paramedic until in an ALS situation.

Protocols aside, both BLS and ALS providers are responsible to do a thorough assessment. An EMT-B can and should complete the same assessment of this pt as a paramedic, the only difference is what interventions both can do. An EMTs bread and butter should be getting accurate BPs and completing a...

I would not immediately attribute the fall/episode to the pts hx of DM. He needs a thorough assessment to rule out other causes of the syncope before just giving him oral glucose. I agree that a more comfortable environment is appropriate for the assessment. Before standing the pt up I would...

I have heard nothing but great things about Swedish and have worked with excellent medics in the springs who went there, so I believe all of the information you guys have said to be true. Is there anyone out there that actually went to DH P school and has something to add? After working in such...

You're right no harm in working for a a IFT company, just thought you could expand your job search area. Keep your skills sharp and reassess all pts after receiving pt care from the facility. Good luck

I've heard DH will hire top students from their paramedic program, any truth to that? Im a full time EMT for springs AMR and have gotten tons of great 911 experience, time to take...

Have you considered expanding your search area? If this is your first EMS job and want to compete find a 911 response system. Start at the bottom and work your way up, id stay away from transfers. Just my advise good luck. /

My AMR interview included verbal scenarios the skills test came during the hire on academy/FI process. If you dont know local protocols front to back I'd use NR standards. Good luck.

So i recently have switched careers and i have my first EMT-B interview coming up. I have been NREMT-B certified for the last 6 years and have always done my CE and even have few other ems related certs. My big concern is i have never actually worked in the field and have very little hands on...
