Hi, I am an EMT-B (in Medic School), but I am not currently working as an EMT. I am working a security job, while in Medic school. Today I had a call come in for a woman possible having a Heart Attack. I called 911 and then went out to check. (bear in mind I was acting as a Security...

As I mentioned in another thread, Ohio does not have any experience requirement. I am an EMT-B who is currently working as a security guard. I cant get a job as a -B right now, so I have decided to go to Paramedic school. The school accepted me with out a blink at having no experience. They...

mmiz- Thanks. I have done ride alongs, on my own, and with my basic clinicals. I hope to do a whole lot more in the near future. rescuelt- Thanks. Thats kinda what I was thinking. At this point in time my main concern is learning the medicine. With that as a good foundation I think I will...

The way I deal with spam is a little more time consuming. I have 2 email address. I have my "personal" email address, that I give out to friends, family... any person I want to talk to. Then I have a junk email account. This is the account that I use when ever I have to post my email address...

About $515 plus another $130 for books. As with Lastcode, I got 7 community college credits. Russ

What do you prefer? A scope with dual tubes, or only one. I have hear that with 2 tubes, they rub together and make noise. True? I just got a nice stethoscope as a present, but its a dual tube. I also have a cheap monotube that I used in school. Which would be better? I seem to hear...

I dont work on a squad (yet), but I do work for a major sporting venue, and we even have 4 AED's through out the building. During events we have paramedics and nurses on site with Lifepack 12's, but non event times, I take care of that. We have several officers (security) that are trained in...
