Good luck! Yes, do ask questions. I just started my first EMT-B job at a hospital-based service and they got concerned when I stopped asking questions. LOL Learn as much as you can but do ask questions. Also, learn the truck completely, inside and out Check off a truck as much as you can...

I was doing nights on a top 40 radio station back then. I was sleeping in (as usual) and my clock radio finally went off. The station's morning show was talking about how something had happened in NYC and they were still trying to find out exactly what. Couple of minutes later they said they...

I was taught to insert with the bevel toward the septum and to insert until resistance is met. Rotation wasn't mentioned except with the OPA.

Some companies won't hire because of lack of experience but for the most part, the problem is the economy. Have you only been putting in at 911 agencies? If so, you might want to consider transport companies. How about hospital based services? You might also think about volunteering (dun dun...

That's a good way of describing them. LOL A state system is probably much better though. I guess in some respects NR is the "easy way out."

NREMT stands for National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. Most states require an EMT to be nationally registered as part of their certification/licensing process. Mississippi is one of those states so I am registered with the NREMT. How you get registered is pretty simple: You pay...

Welcome to the forum... but please be patient. This isn't a chat room. :-)

I went to EMT-B at a community college and our only dress code was that it had to be presentable (no inappropriate holes, boobs hangin' out, etc.). We were required to wear program polo (gray with the program's logo on the left chest), black pants, belt, boots, watch and ID. Not sure how I...

Don't be nervous... there's nothing to an EVOC test. You'll be fine. :-)

Good luck! My advice: Don't worry much about studying. I studied zero for my NREMT, it cut off at 70 and I passed. My opinion is that, by that point, you either know it or you don't. Now if you end up failing, that's different... study then. But I wouldn't study right off the bad, unless...

There's nothing wrong with being proud of your chosen profession. Lord knows that I am! But you have to admit that there are too many folks who go too far over the "whacker" line and it makes all of us look bad. It's unfortunate but it happens. I say be proud and even show it off a little if...

The doctor should have known this cocktail was going to do great harm. The first rule in any kind of medical practice is "do no harm." Even if he's found to have done nothing wrong legally (which I doubt he will be) he committed a major ethical breach. If nothing else he needs his license...

This thread is relevant to my interests, as I'm about to embark on my first EMS job too... on Labor Day. LOL Good luck to you. Here's hoping for a good start for the both of us! Jon

That made me wonder... should we have a sequel to "Run Away Bride" about grooms that take off? LOL

First... congratulations! What Bunkie said. Leave it on the streets! The same can be said for anyone in any profession though. My advice: Elope! LOL The wedding day was a blur for both of us. Sure, we remember it and had a good time but it was sure tiring. Are you going on a...

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. You may not have openly said "I disrespect your dissenting opinion" but you did disrespect it when you referred to my post as "spam." Makes a guy really feel respected. If you want to disagree with me (and you obviously do) that's fine... but...

Delete this post please. I just need to keep my mouth shut on this subject.

Welcome to the site! Sorry to hear that Registry bit you but you can, of course, take it again. :-) You should be able to find out how you did in each area. Just study over your stuff and you should be fine. And also: Relax! I was a bit nervous when I went in for mine but I calmed down and...

I was watching it again last night and had the same though. Mmm... Fish.

Friend of mine said it cut her off at 32 and she passed. Could this real? Based on other peoples' responses it normally cuts off between 60-80 on average.
