    NREMT renewal.

    I am up for my first NREMT-B renewal. I am working on my CE's. I need 48 hours and a 24 hour refresher. I have 2 questions. First, if I am getting 24 hours of refresher courses (for the NR and the state) do those hours count towards my CE's? And also if I renew online do I need to mail in copies...

    What kind of area do you work in?

    I work in an all volunteer agency that is affiliated with the Sheriff’s Office. Our primary function is to cover the recreational areas around the lakes and rivers. We don't transport but a fair amount of our calls end up going by air. We work medical standbys for DUI task forces, protests...

    Treating a rapist.

    I would treat them to the best of my ability. I might not like it, and may not be as friendly and outgoing as I am with other patients I deal with. But he is getting the best care I can deliver as do my other patients. I spent too much time studying more than I need to for my Basic card, and...

    Radios?

    I don't know if I would spend money on equipment for a paying job. But when I volunteer I understand that there might be some stuff I need to buy. My volunteer spot provides mostly everything, however owning a personal radio would be a great asset. On one hand, it gets expensive and doesn't...

    Physicians Seek Recognition for EMS as Subspecialty of Emergency Medicine

    That would be great. I can see this opening up the world of EMS to allow many more training opportunities, and more importantly incentives to receive more training. Having more, specialized medical directors might increase the ability to deal with minor problems in the field. This would be one...

    Any ideas on this one?

    I know it's a longshot, but I have heard of people putting pressure on nerves from sitting on a toilet seat in just the right way. It makes he extremity on that side twitch and kinda feels like a shock. Maybe between that and the Vagalling she had her episode. I doubt thats what it is. But it's...

    lets talk about gloves....

    My hospital uses the Ameri-net latex gloves. We routinely pull 3 gloves out of the box at a time. It is guaranteed at least one WILL break when putting them on. We finally switched to a different brand. Our Nitriles are the thin gray ones. I can't remember the brand. But they are quite nice.

    Does anyone have experience with 511TacticalDirect.com?

    I had the same issue. The only way I got anywhere was when I sent a few e-mails and left a few voicemails stating I wanted to cancel my order. I got a phone call the very next day. Even then not everything shipped. But they did credit back the difference, and automatically cancelled the order...

    ringtones

    I want to find a sound file of the Phillips Defibrillator when it says "Charging" and makes that tone, then the "shocking", and so on and so forth. Anyone know where to find it? Btw www.myxer.com has some cool ringtones, and lets you put Mp3's on your phone.

    Post the # your test stopped at, and if you Passed/Failed

    Thanks... I didn't know they just had a surge. But I applied with them, because I figured with them winning the Tempe contract that they would be needing people. That's the problem I am seeing here though, next to no EMT-B jobs in the PHX metro area. I don't want to work for a fire service...
