I didn't see how it was an issue either. I did see how it could possibly be a safety issues but not a privacy issue. I just wanted to see what everyone else thought. I don't really want to get into discussing medical necessity because it is currently in question. But my particular service has...

So this morning we get dispatched for a non-emergent transport from a nursing home to a psychologist appointment. I was asking the off going crew for directions and my supervisor was telling me how to get there and said that we needed to take a wheelchair because they don't like stretchers in...

Yeah I'm not really trying to limit myself to just EMS. I plan to work a truck for atleast the next 20-30 years. But in my state RN's can work trucks just like a medic. I'm just trying to think of something that may benefit me more for a possible supervisors position or safety officer or...

I've thought about jumping into a nursing school but the schedule makes it super hard to do while working full time as a medic. That's one reason I was leaning towards management type degrees because most of them are all online. I didn't even think about a regular business degree though.. I...

Hey guys, I'm 21 and just graduated this past week from a community college with an Associates Degree in Applied Science in Emergency Medical Services. I'd really like to find a bachelor's degree that I could utilize my associates with that could benefit me later on. I'm thinking maybe a...

i use MyFitnessPal app available on android or apple. It will count your calories and all that good stuff. I'm also going to buy a fitness bracelet to help track how much I walk and stuff everyday. I bough some supplements but I've had to work every day this week and haven't got to go to the gym...

Any of you guys nurses as well? I'm 21 and passed my NREMT-P in January. I absolutely love my job and what I do. But I would also like to become an RN and work on a truck as well. I've been doing some research and it is a lot easier, or so it seems, financially, and time wise to challenge the...

Basically all we do is chauffeur patients but I understand what you are saying now. I guess my main concern is making up vitals to put in my narrative on our sheets to send in to insurance companies for billing.. I appreciate the kind words. I'll be sure to do that. I guess I'm just going...

Needed o2? No. I was just always taught that every patient gets o2. Maybe this is just some of the things that make my lack of experience show. I know you can only learn so much from a book and after that you learn on the job what is and what isn't necessary.

JPINFV, thanks for your harsh but honest advice. You were correct in assuming what my vitals consisted of. And I understand what you're saying about only checking the pupils and head to toe as necessary but not unless I have reason to believe they have changed. My main concern is they don't even...

Calemt I understand d what your saying about quitting. But the company I work for understands that I don't want to stay there for a long time. They even told me it would be a good place to work and gain experience and then move on later on. They also understand that I'm more interested in the...

I need some advice from you guys on here and I would like to keep it as anonymous as possible so I'm not going to mention any names or companies. To give you all a little bit of back ground, I'm a newly certified state EMT-B. When I graduated high school my plan was to go to nursing school but...
