I have just passed my EMT class. I am taking the practical on the 19th, and the computer test as soon as I possibly can.

What level are you testing for?

1997 Ford E150 Custom Van..........oh, yeah....... Jeff

To give them something to focus on. If they are wearing a nasal cannula, they have to stop and concentrate on the O2. Jeff

Right......I forgot about that one:P Thanks for clearing up that little whoopsie!! Jeff

Zdravstvuite!! Just a hello and welcome from Georgia! Jeff

Absolutely correct, GaEmt. The state doesn't recognize the basic unless you work for the FD. Even then, the FD's are sending the basics they have back to school to get their intermediate. Jeff

BVM w/ 15L O2. Do the med control thing for the IV, NS, KVO. Place pt on stretcher, and apply high flow diesel when ALS arrives... Jeff

Ummmm.....Meow?

It depends. Where are you thinking about moving to? Atlanta has the typical AMR, etc. Some counties have their own BLS services. Hit me up with where you want to go. I might be able to help. Jeff

Tracie, It is true that the EMS program will expand to 4 quarters. I don't believe the course content will change, but the instructors will be able to go into greater detail with what they are teaching. Jeff

If you know where Atlanta Motor Speedway is, then Griffin is 5 miles south of there, give or take. I actually live in Stockbridge, just south of Atlanta. I am familiar with Swainsboro, because my father uses Dublin VAMC as his primary doctors. If you really want to succeed at this, while you...

Are you doing the nine month program? If so, you will be bored to tears during first quarter. Second quarter, after the first round of dropouts/weedouts, it gets good. Third quarter, when you study for intermediate, it is mostly honing your skills for the National Registry. Welcome to the...

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this difficult time. Jeff

Count me in too....:) Jeff

First of all, congratulations on having the intestinal fortitude to pick yourself up-not once, but twice. I, too have sick parents. I am over halfway into my EMT-I. Having to take care of them is a full time job, in and of itself. Plus having to do ride-alongs and clinicals...well, you get...

So if I follow you correctly, if I have any sort of EMS-related sticker or license plate on my vehicle,or wear an EMS T-shirt or hat, and I am a licensed and certified EMT, I am obligated to stop and render aid based upon "duty to act"? I am a little fuzzy on this, as we have not covered...
