okay, so i'm in recruit school, and i'm working my bum off trying to build upper strength. we have our class workouts on M,W,F, and on the off days i am still working on my push ups and core. i'm getting stronger and fitter for sure, but i'm having a real problem while i do push ups. i get a...

so, i'm relatively new to ems. i passed my state test in july, and i've been working for a 911 service for the last month or so. prior to that i worked on a burn unit, and i worked there from december of '06 until i started with the ems service. before that i worked as a computer consultant...

tomorrow i start my first job as an emt, and i was hoping that some of you could help answer some questions for me. first, do any of you have suggestions for pants? don't worry, i have my uniform together and everything, but i want different pants. the kind that i have are lavigne, but they are...

i hope it's okay with all of you that this really has nothing to do with ems. i generally, don't post or pass along things that are the latest internet fad, but this is really cool. also, many of you are going to look at this and not believe the lady can turn in the opposite direction. in fact...

how's that title for redundant redundant? okay, just kidding. i feel pretty sure that this has been posted before, but i couldn't find what i was looking for. do any of you have a link to practice questions for the indiana state written test? also, national test questions might be okay, too...

i passed my cpat!! i didn't think that i had it in me, but i did! so, now i'm waiting to hear from the fd in the next month or two. they have to do a background check. oh, i hope i get hired!!! also, i've already gotten through the oral interview and the written test! hooray!

this might sound strange, but here goes... i have a friend who has ms, and is going to have to have iv's started on her regularly. i don't know all of the details, but apparently, the hospital wants her husband (with no medical background whatsoever) to learn how to start them on her. he is...

:D since i'm an emt student, i mostly just lurk on these forums. i don't have a lot to add bc i don't really have any experience. however, i love to visit the forums bc i learn SO much! my class is great, but these forums bring up situations and strategies that we just haven't been able to go...

okay, i'm new the these boards (thanks for being so welcoming, everyone, btw), and i'm new to ems. i'm well aware of the kind of money i'll be making as an emt. in fact, i quit my day job where i made pretty good money dealing with computers and people who don't know anything about computers...
