Can't find for the life of me where I said that it was okay t do a 100-200 hours course and do what others have done. I actually have been saying this is a call for higher education for Paramedicine. They are geared for getting the patient home. I haven't seen too many that follow the...

I think this is pretty harsh. Where were the previous fields you mentioned in their infancy? They all started somewhere and non of them were designed to be community health or prehospital care. EMS and paramedicine was designed for emergencies and prehospital. I don't see anything wrong with...

Can't argue with that. Lets just hope this is all done appropriately with the emphasis being on education needed for paramedics to become CPs. Great discussion. I hope more people get involved and would love to hear from some that are actually involved in these pilot programs. Like to hear...

I read one of the recent articles from Minnesota that said, "Nursing groups were the biggest early impediment in Minnesota...." I would imagine this is going to be a normal thing to get pushback from the nursing groups. As for how it will benefit MDs, I think the less of the routine you...

I have a bunch of podcast on my iphone 5 and I have been using the podcast app. The ICU Rounds is great. But I cannot download the Pharmacology one. Can one of you gentlemen try it and tell me if it works for you? I have also found it on a website and it will not play from there. It...

I'm loving this thread! You hit on one of the biggest issues. EMS still relies on protocols and medical direction. That isn't a problem is the MDs go along with it. It is beneficial to them so it shouldn't be a tough sell. What does everyone think of the ANA pushback though? Do you think...

Sounds like a pretty good start. Obviously a lot of details to be worked out. I think there needs to be a governing body setup to mandate the changes and oversee everything.

Yeah I keep getting an error when trying to download to my iphone and going from the computer it never starts playing. Just sits there with a spinning icon. Frustrating. Anyone know of any other good pharmacology podcasts? Or any other type? Thanks for the reply Robb!!

Hello all I recently found a podcast by Dr Jeffrey Guy on iTunes called "Pharmacology for the Prehospital Professional" I cannot download it and it looks like the site it was hosted on doesn't have it anymore. It is still listed on iTunes though. Has anyone else listened to these? Any...

I spent some time on the phone with the guy that is running the program at UF. He was previously with UMBC and it sounds like the program he has put together at UF is going to be better. Not trying to insult UMBC. I haven't taken either of them. Just my take after talking to him. There are...

Have everything on that list except the microbiology and am taking it this summer. Our er here regularly employees paramedics that work in nurse capacities. We also have a couple of LPNs in our er. I am confident that I can handle the requirements of the LPN level and then take the RN course...

We don't have a bridge program close to here and the closest one is full time 2 hours away. The local college will allow LPN to RN in 2 semesters.

Yeah. I have no interest in being an LPN but am looking for a quicker route to RN.

I have been looking all over and am wondering if anyone can tell me the states that will allow a Paramedic to test for LPN. If there are any. I've heard rumors about NY and PA. NY is a no. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I will look these up.

Did the practical as part of our final for the program i finished. Just have to take the written now. Just not sure how tough it is. I just took my state last week so the information is still fresh on my mind. Thinking now is the time to take it.

I am going to take the NREMT-P next month. Want to study a little more. Have had several people tell me that the national was easier than the state. I guess we'll see. Any info on Nashville?

I have been an EMTB for about 3 years now and work for the only service in our area. I passed my Medic test here in FL last week. Now I am wondering what to do. My girlfriend is looking at Vanderbilt to continue going to school. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the area? Will I be...

I took mine in Tallahassee 5 weeks ago and it stopped at 70 questions. I passed. As far as studying. I bought the knightlite study software. I studied it for week before. Then on the way over to Tally, my wife read me question after question. I can tell you it was nothing like the studying...

I read on another forum that the NR exam is harder than most state exams.
