Do any medic on here work on a NICU/Pedi Transport team? If you do what is your role and what do you do.

do you know any links to these schools have searched and am not finding any I am looking for RT not RN

does anyone know of a bridge program for paramedic to RT. I love on Florida???

good luck in your search...the explorers are great i did them for many years...I am a firefighter and paramedic with alot of time under me now...just find classes and take as much as you can....you also go online and take classes through FEMA that you will need when you are looking for a job...

as long as you were not in any danger than there isnt anything wrong with what you did....you partner may need a vacation

if i remember correctly if you are trained and have a medical director to cover and sign off on it you can do it. I have only heard of RT doing them and I have worked at a few hospitals

congrats on the job...i just took a job with the agency i have been wanting to work for

or if they have no pressure to begin with

I have pictures of calls I have been on. Some are posted some are not. There are many times when pics are taken mostly at MVC or fires but never should be taken on a medical call. That would be plan dumb. As for blogging about your every call no each their own. In my opinion the calls you want...

I don't see a problem with an emt-b handing meds to a medic or spiking a bag as long as it is allowed by your agency and med director...also if the emt-b is properly trained...however that being said it is the medics responsiblilty to make sure the meds are correct and given properly,....

at the time i was working for a fire agency and until 5 you were up...sometimes before that you might get a nap..they had us training and preplanningn and what not...I just got hired with an ems only agency and dont know what there policy is yet ....i agree with you though about sleeping...I was...

I would like to say it feels like the gates of hell outside right now....thanks to who ever complained about the cold this winter.....:wacko:

the casino here in tampa requires it too.

i dont think i would want to wear shorts while on an ambulance...i live in fl and it is like the gates of hell most of the year...i would rather be hot than kneel in something nasty...:P

epi was the same one in amps other in a box for us too

in total agreement with what was just said. most are over worked...I too worked for an agency that had meds that were packaged very alike. That is when knowing your equipment and truck comes into play. In my case it was the versed and a think benadryl they were in almost the same packaging...we...

the majority of mistakes are preventable. You should read the label and confirm it before giving it...make sure your truck is equiped right...just double checking will prevent a mistake...all medics will have patients die while on the job but none should be killed by them

I understand that some people think going to medic right after emt is good...everyone is entitled to their opinions.. I have always believed in the saying that you cannt be a good paramedic without being a great emt...because all medic stuff starts at the emt level...

if you dont mind me saying i would suggest getting some real time as a emt before starting paramedic....all the schools are right at about a year....hcc and phcc are great choices...i have known some good medics that came out of fmti but i would suggest hcc or phcc also look into spc and pcc
