    Racism among ambulance companies !

    I've been employed for 15 years in various roles and Ive never been asked my ethnicity over the phone. Either you're trolling or you can't handle the fact you haven't been given employment due to other- probably more realistic reasons. On a side note, hypothetically speaking...if I were an...

    Interview for ED Tech; I think I'm in way over my head

    You seem young, try asking reading up on some online sources regarding questions you have about working in non-military jobs and transitioning into civilian life. I suspect your questions are more due to lack of experience as a civilian rather than lack of EMT experience. Good luck

    Looking to "move" on

    I think he was probably joking Summit. Texas is a great area for EMS and quality economical living in general, especially when compared with California. But as with moving to any new location there are cultural considerations to adjust to. I like red meat and guns for example, but I do not see...

    Looking to "move" on

    I am not trying really hard to make Texans out to be bad or exaggerate- -I was responding to a post (which I know was meant as a joke)- regarding attitudes matching those of Texas and Texans. My points were fact-based on law here and personal experiences.

    Looking to "move" on

    What part of my post is confusing? I live in Dallas- Denton county, Collin county and lived in a few others..just looks up the laws regarding alcohol if something seems amiss. Same for abortion rights for women- all of the planned parenthood places pretty much shut down...In any case it is...

    Looking to "move" on

    Sure if you move to Texas you can enjoy half the strangers you meet trying to get you to go to their church- my wife even had some woman (a neighbour it turned out), spend 5 minutes straight trying to get her to attend church, and about 5 people from her college did the same thing to her. Or if...

    Head start on medic program

    I'd recommend working on your patient assessments and the protocols for common calls. Each time you're bored/have some free time... try writing out in bullet points how you're going to treat your patient. 'Shortness of breath' or 'chest pain'- write an A to Z protocol covering what you're going...

    Over medicating?

    palliative care IS fixing just the pain...Im sure you meant fixing the CAUSE? In any case, making statements like this...if true you'd have fact-based evidence to show clinicians are over-medicating or medicating needlessly? It is quite a claim...

    Should EMS be controlled so much by nurses?

    NUEMT I fail to see what your issue is from your post? I get the impression that you believe nurses are somehow overly involved in EMS? If so, you haven't given a reason why this would be a negative thing? Having an ADN/BSN/RN makes one a very versatile healthcare provider, they can bridge...

    need info or tips on how to do megacode

    Since it is new for you Id take a blank piece of paper and write out each algorithm...black and white very simple esp for the practical tests. Once you have that memorised then you won't be stressing out trying to remember what to do, but rather you'll instead be using critical thinking for the...

    What would be your best advice?

    People here are giving you more of their time of day than you'd get anywhere else so I would be grateful if it was me. I could stick in a smart assed comment but instead picture this- you have a 6 month old daughter who is covered in urine, faeces, blood and is screaming- the EMT/Paramedic...

    Paramedic school vs Nursing school

    It is easier to go from RN to Paramedic in terms of education... Im sure you are aware how difficult it is to get into nursing school. Do your nursing, and if you still have a passion for EMS then you can chop and change between the two. Most 'service' jobs are 90% boredom and 10% action. If...
