    Accelerated EMT – B Program

    There are 3 pages of advertisements. On the first page you have 5 topics promoting your accelerated programs. Im not saying it's not a well run, quality program. It may very well be. But seeing it spammed like this makes not even want to look at your website.

    ACLS- ACS/Stokre???

    A stroke a bls call? Really? Ever had a stroke patient start to seize? Posture? Need airway support? How about checking a bgl(some places basics cannot) what if hes hypoglycemic?, 12 lead? IV? Just because its "easy" or not alot for you to do, that does not make it basic.

    Working three 24 shifts in a single week

    Ah, I did not make myself clear. Like that yes, as long as it is pay off monthly. Emergencys is a fine time to use a cc. My jeep brakes down middle of nowhere? CC. I don't carry large amounts of cash, and don't use a debit for large transfers either(its actually limited to prevent large...

    Alcohol, How Many Hours Before Work?

    You dont even know how correct you are. But it was long before me, more so in the 'wild west' days of ems if you will.

    Alcohol, How Many Hours Before Work?

    I think 12 hours is ridiculous. If I work 6a to 6p, and the same the next day, by that policy I could get in trouble for having a beer or glass of wine with dinner. We officially have an 8 hour policy. We also have a well rested policy that would cover hangovers. If anyone suspects a partner of...

    Working three 24 shifts in a single week

    I would not do that schedule, with or without a family. We work 84 hours in a two week period. No OT till after 84 hours. No set schedule (which at times is nice, with trades its possible to get almost 2 weeks off without using vacation). Having a comfortable life is doable in ems. I work one...

    Oridion (provider of Sidestream Co2) with US import ban - implications?

    I actually like the phillips version and find it to be a superior product. Plus it has not had problems with the FDA. We switched to it very shortly after trialing a few other versions, and have no plans of switching to something else.

    Criminal History Question

A guy in my EMT class had a PAULA (possession of alcohol under the legal age limit) on his record (and rightfully admitted to it) he had gotten it at 19, was 20 at the time of class. The state told him it had to be off his record for 2 years before he would be...

    Why EMS instead of MD/Nurse/Other profession?

    Just try and take my nights away from me. We normally do 24s, but ever so often a string of twelves pops up in rotations. If they ever wanted to get rid of me it would be simple.. Schedule me for the day shift on those 12s.

    Does Your Department/Squad Provide Fitness Equipment?

    Municiple ambulance service. We shower and change after workouts. If called out during workout you throw uniform on over workout clothes. If showering.. well you will be responding damp. It doesnt delay us any more than getting paged out when sleeping in the middle of the night.
