Welcome!! and Congrats!

If your referring to a non EMT training ride along, then no! They should carry equipment and that's it.

When I did my clinical, my FTO's allowed me to do whatever was in my scope of practice for what I was in school for (at the time AEMT, she even let me push drugs outside my scope of practice with her direct supervision). It really just depends on who trains you and what their willing to put in...

I think that's exactly my problem, I think I'm over thinking the whole test and I'm second guessing myself. I know the material but the littlest word I believe can throw off my answer all together. I'm going to sign up for Emtprep.com since I saw a lot of people are recommending it.

First time I tested, my test had 120 and I failed. Second time I tested, my test was 112 and I passed!

So I have taken the AEMT Exam twice and failed. It is really messing up my confidence. I could really use some help with finding study material for the exam. I've looked for study books or practice test books but with the test still so relatively new, there are no books available. Please, I'll...

So I definitely know exactly what your feeling. I failed my basic exam the first time around and I was afraid to face it again. I spoke with my instructor and he advised me to get this EMT Crash Course book. After I read the book and retested, I PASSED!! Check it out. Also why don't you get with...

My instructor told us that if a DNR is present, you do not perform CPR! If the family states there is a DNR and does not physically have it handy, begin CPR!

I was going to use Paraquat Poisoning as a contraindication but when I saw the time frame for when people could have been exposed I didn't think it was relevant to my assignment.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: thank you!!

I read online that high levels of oxygen for an infant causes blindness by promoting overgrowth of the new blood vessels obstructing sight.

So I have this homework assignment that includes the contraindications of oxygen, after much reading I have only come across contraindications for long term use of oxygen therapy. Is there really any contraindication of I guess what would be called as pre-hospital oxygen therapy?

Can we have an updated link for the Scope of Practice for the state of Georgia? The link listed says no page found. :huh:

go girl!!!!!!! ^_^^_^^_^^_^^_^

*two-thumbs up* for that statement!

WOW :o That's crazy! But that's kind of cool too. Has anyone known of someone being pushed out because it was obvious that she couldn't handle working during her pregnancy? Like she was just in complete denial of her situation.

Wow.... Thank you so much for telling your story. I'm very grateful of you. First and foremost, congrats on your pregnancy. Secondly, I'm very sorry for your diagnosis. You make me feel very confident in knowing that when I'm good and ready to have more children, I can! Thank you again so very...

How far along was she before they forced out on light duty?

Have either of you worked with a pregnant EMT or have been pregnant while working? Was it a hassle? Was it an inconvenience to people around you?

What if light duty isn't offered? Like my school doesn't even tolerate pregnancy during clinicals. They pull you right out and tell you come back next semester because of the liability. I guess I'm just looking for that reassurance that there is a possibility for more kids after I enter the field.
