I've had plenty of jobs. First I worked at the local YMCA as a referee for basketball and soccer, then I moved into aquatics where I was able to gain more hours as a lifeguard, and then I started teaching swim lessons there. I had to leave there when that branch went bankrupt and they sold...

Take an abnormal psychology class or read up on the DSM-IV-TR. If you don't plan on diagnosing the patient, there is really little you can do to get a clear understanding of what you are dealing with, and how to address comfort care. One thing I know about mental disorders is that there is...

2006 Jeep Commander Limited Ed. with all the bells and whistles. Its a 5.7L Hemi and it gets the worst gas mileage but its sturdy and safe, plus I got a really good deal on it with only 52k miles when I got it a couple years ago! Love the rear skylight windows, as well as all the other...

As much as I'd like to work full time as an EMT-I, the position I believe is only a VST per-diem (I'm sort of unsure I was so pumped with adrenaline I forgot if it was VST or MedExpress Transport). It's basically my foot-in-the-door position, because I don't have any other medical work...

Yea I won't mention it, but the entire accident was his fault, he merged without signaling or checking blind spot, and he did it rapidly. I already filed my claim, and took pics and everything. The good thing is that this won't go on my MVR because there is no police report. No injuries means...

This could end up in EMS employment or directionless because of its random nature, but I just decided to make its own thread because it came out of nowhere. So, I'm on my way to my other job as a courier, going through downtown Reno on a one way street. I was traveling the speed limit, and...

We used that along with Marieb's Anatomy and Physiology Coloring Book. It seems childish to use a coloring book, but it is good for a detailed anatomy base (not really physiology). You don't have to color it, but I liked it because you're sitting there coloring in different things which will...

I recently took a joint A&P class. We used Saladin's Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function, 6/e. It is ridiculously comprehensive. More than you'll probably need unless you're headed to medical school, but there's nothing bad about knowing more than what's necessary. . . I...

It really is a good class to take as a starting point for various directions of study. However, if you're already decent at math (particularly standard curves and percentages), you're going to feel like smashing your head against the wall out of boredom. There is a difference between...

I used to be a realtor. All I can say is good luck with all of it. No matter if you're a first-time buyer, or this is your 15th rodeo, it is sort of a drag (not to sound demoralizing). Theres two good parts: 1) That honeymoon period when you first start looking at homes and get excited...

I got the Littman Classic II S.E. and it works great compared to my old one (which I was ashamed to even use if I didn't have another option) :lol: I listened to my brother's heart murmur with it, sounded like a washing machine! Nevertheless, pretty cool! When I go medic I'll probably...

Ok wait . . . Let's retrack. Apparently there are 2 makers for girl scout cookies. One of them offers vegan cookies (including thin mints). No milk products, whey, or preservatives. So, you were right after all <_< I can't post links yet, but the company is ABC bakery. Check it out!

Did they swindle you into a purchase based on that?

Well played. I can definitely take a joke... and that's an understatement. :D

Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself in my first post on EMTLife. I recently finished my EMT-I class and passed the psychomotor exam. I'm taking the cognitive exam next week. I'm also from Reno, NV and looking for a job here with REMSA or one of the hospitals, but hopefully REMSA...
