This. ^^ Exceptionally well put, I can not improve upon this, so I will just agree.

I just took my reciprocity paramedic exam last month. There aren't many jobs in PA, so I was hoping I'd have better luck in my home state. So far it's been a bust (I'm not a fire fighter), so it looks like private ambulance might be my future. My exam was heavy on peds, both dosages and...

Greetings from the snowy Mason-Dixon Line. If it were not for all the incredible history in your country, I would have to pick a different degree track. Probably something boring like accounting. B)

I like my blackberry. It's actually a pinkberry and it's taken me almost two years to figure it out, except voicemail. I still have no idea how to get my voicemail set up. I'm not ready for anything more complicated.

The American knock off of Office really isn't that funny. Now the British version... I'd have Ricky Gervais' baby. He's hilarious, intelligent, and British. I'm there. His stand-up is even funnier. He does a skit on Noah's Ark that had me laughing so hard my kidneys hurt for a week.

Understandable, which is why I keep at least two flat sheets folded on my cot, so I won't have to run back and forth and I can cover up while I'm cutting off.

I realize this may not seem important to most people, but is there a reason why they couldn't throw a sheet or blanket over her? She's half naked in a crowd of people and it's January. Maybe it's because I'm a girl, but patient privacy is very important to me and I can toss a sheet on someone...

I volunteer in Maryland as a paramedic. I was a career paramedic but I've taken a break to work on my own business. I may have to go back to it part-time if my business doesn't take off before I run out of money, but in the event that I do not return to being a paid paramedic, I still have my...

I'm not going to sugar coat this; Philly sucks. I can't think of one good thing about Philly, but then again, I'm from Baltimore and there is only two places we hate more than Philly, New York and Pittsburgh. Philly is only good for one thing and that is it's history. It's a fabulous...

I take a lot of online classes, so I completely understand how attractive they appear. I can easily complete 18 or more credit hours a semester because I attend my classes online. Honestly, I really do not need three lecture hours a week on sociology, advanced composition, or any of my math...

I agree. I've had my Littman Master Cardiology for around 12 years, probably closer to 14 years. I've had to replace one ear piece and one diaphragm in that time. I clean it after every call and it's been in nearly every climate in the country with no problems. I can not understand why a...

Your argument is rendered invalid since you can provide no reference source. I've been working on an ambulance for close to two decades and have transported 2 or more patients several times, whether I was working 911 or IFT. I have also done billing, dispatch, and I am very versed in...

:nosoupfortroll: You know what they say, if you can't say anything nice (which you have clearly demonstrated in your six posts thus far) then don't say anything. You are not being productive. It may be time for you to find another place to troll.

Is this for the national registry practical? Accorded to NREMT, KS is a NR state. If that's the case, you can download the practical forms from nremt.org, and use them to practice. In addition, they have the critical fail criteria on them. Practicing is the best thing you can do. There is...

My Father dressed up as Santa to give out our gifts, so that itself was a treat. He makes a jolly fat man. I got cash and my much longed for serger machine. I busted my bank on presents for everyone. I'd rather give then receive to be perfectly honest.

Go to paramedic school, apply to a service that requires paramedics to tech every call. That's what I did. But seriously... I hate driving as well. You do not have to exceed the speed limit if you are uncomfortable and anyone that tells you that you have to is a moron. Pay extra attention...

I wonder if that patient wouldn't have died regardless of the crash. The story states the patient sustained life-threatening injuries and that a police officer was driving while both paramedics were treating the patient. In my case, if I need another pair of hands, my patient is usually...

Very interested, until the fire fighter part. I was in the running for BCFD but realized that there is no way in heaven I'll ever pass fire class, and honestly, I wouldn't want ME as a crew member on an engine anyway. Ah well, back to the privates with me!

I would venture to say that a paramedic or pair of paramedics in Maryland could get away with preforming a c-section in the presence of maternal death if they were fairly far from an emergency room, like the outer regions of western Maryland, if they consulted with online medical control, that...

Did you neglect to read what I wrote? In that case, I put it in bold. I never said UMBC was a bad college. They do not offer my major, or my minor for that matter. They do not have anything even close. I'd take JHU because they do offer my program, they offer amazing elective choices and a...
