I just failed my trauma assessment twice. I have to go and try for the third (and last) time next week. Talk about nervous? I do NOT want to take a refresher course because of a stupid mistake. I'll tell you why I failed the second time so you can laugh...I did not remove the patients clothing...

Here in the Mid-State we are hiring on both the private and public level. Pay is $12-13.75 per hour for private and $11-14.75 per hour for public Basic level. That is starting pay for 0 experience.

Training on how your company does things. Becoming familiar with all the paperwork and which forms get filled out by whom and who can sign for what. How to fill out run reports the way your employer wants. Learning your way around the ambulance, inside and out. Knowing what should be stocked on...

At my company you don't need a drivers license to work as an EMT at any level. You are also paid the same as one who can drive. Another local company pays $.75 less per hour to non-drivers, bringing your starting Basic pay down to $13 per hr. I don't personally know of ANY public service in the...

I never said it wasn't appropriate, just pointless. It's gonna turn into a thread thats not about a medics death, but more about guns, and I really don't see how more pointless debate on that subject helps anyone.

Yeah, I guess I don't understand how this IS NOT a blatant troll post. We don't post about every medic who dies in an accident, but we post about one who dies involving a handgun. Doesn't pass the sniff test to me.

I really hope this is a troll.:wacko:

I don't know who the guy with the moustache is, but he says the EXACT same things I do almost every night! Un-freakin-canny!

Please take more English and try again later. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, My Brain

Can someone make a sticky that flashes and says: YES WE KNOW ABOUT THE SHOW CALLED "TRAUMA" .....ITS CANCELED ALREADY:wacko:

Maybe I'm wrong but we were taught not to make a field diagnosis, that is the hospitals job. We are told that whether fracture or sprain: access PMS, splint according to protocols, access PMS again, and transport.

The private services around here are all hiring, starting at around $13.50 per hour. Several of them will pay for your paramedic school (which is here in Columbia) with a 1 year contract. The county services are hiring sporadically, I think you would have a definite advantage there with your vet...

Those poor paramedics should move here to America. In THIS country we all have the right to choose where we live and work. No one forces us to work anywhere.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you have lots going for you already. With your certs and experience, as long as your driving record is good I don't see how you would have a problem getting on as a Basic with a county service. (At least around here) They pay your salary while you go to...

"LET"??? Last I checked I live in a free country.

THANK GOD!!! I swear if I heard one more person ask me "Have you seen that show Trauma? It really shows what you guys go through!" I would start screaming uncontrollably... OK that's an exaggeration, but it WAS getting annoying.

I think your trainer needs some training. It's gonna really "annoy" her if you back over someone or cause thousands in damage to the rig. There are times when you have to back up alone, and for that, like was said, practice is the only remedy. But for every other time, especially during...

Because "legal" sleep aids never affect users the next day, right? Ever hear them say "May cause next day drowsiness, do not use ........ if you plan on operating machinery, etc"? I think instead of telling him to try another medication, how about just plain exercise, or proper diet, or any...
