Maybe not the NR but.. Iowa used to list on the state website how many times you were enrolled in, failed, failed to complete, were kicked out ect ect.. for paramedic programs. So lets say you dropped out of a paramedic program in 2006, failed one in 2008, and completed a program in 2010, it...

How the heck do you have that in texas and it is a high of 50 in iowa with no hint of snow?! Warmest Christmas I've ever had.

I generally disagree with him on topics, but +1 to mycrofft on this. Nobodys forcing anyone to use the forums. If you dont like it dont post. I dont post a majority of the time because it would serve no purpose, my post would be rude or get someone mad, and then one of us would get a vacation. I...

Ah. Just give me a new (or semi new even) Jeep Wrangler Sport and I'd be happy. But the wife veto's it. Apparently its not a very kid friendly vehicle.

What did I miss yesterday? Damn that sucks

I want to be a real life crash test dummy

Maybe we all need it back.. heck.. it might be the only snow much of us get. 50 degrees in Iowa? In December? Really?!

They may refuse to give pain medication or any non lifesaving treatment, but they cannot refuse to examine a patient.

AS in Fire Science and Paramedicine About 1 year from completeing a BS in public health with a minor in sociology. For a Masters it still depends on exactly the career path I pursue.

Guess I will have to look up NAEMD protocols since they are not used around here. Although I do wish our dispatchers would be competent enough to find out if there is a history of seizures and/or the patients current mental status.

Why does a seizure not meet your criteria for medics? Granted, person may have a history of them and refuse.. But it could also be a host of other things.

Need for cspine? At what point did you cal for als? At what point did you state that she is a priority patient and begin transport?

Youre going to be wear some smelly uniforms in a week or so..

We have FLIR in our trucks. When used right, it works great. Why would it be common in a mobile command post? Normally those are moved to the temporay command center and set up/only moved when needed, they do not stay 'mobile' for the duration nof an incident.

We keep ours at 66 all winter. Last winter it was 58, but with the kid now that was too cold.

+10 points for pointing a positive spin on getting popcorn kernal shells stuck in teeth.

Sorry Sasha, I'm with USAF on this one. Popcorn gets stuck in my teeth. At least House can be mildly entertaining on a slow day.

Sounds like someone blew an interview.. I can only guess why. If your last few posts are any indicator of the interview.. Then improve your attitude and try again.

Im sorry to hear that. I had a professor at the university who was autistic. It was one of the best course I ever took. Also work with a medic who mildly is. Just remember the diagnosis does not define him, it just means some day to day lifestyle changes and doing things a bit differently than...

We have the 'right' to sleep from the hours of 8pm to 6am. That is in our contract. That does not mean you get to if you are running calls. We exclusively work 24 hour shifts though. At my old service I work overnights - 12 hour shifts. I never came to work thinking about when to sleep, as I was...
