Yes sir, and I like it much:rolleyes: I am going to offer a session of having a rig from a local agency to give a tour of their prehospital ambulance and teach basic first aid and learning how and when 911 is called. Kind ofl a career exploration session. :c

I carry a LED light that attaches to my helmet. I also have a penlight holstered in my cargo pocket on my 5.11 EMT pants with Trauma Shears^_^

Yes, we have standing orders that I must follow, I cannot do gluc checks if a camper has diabetes, they have to do it themselves; unless they bottom out if they need glucagon if their AMS is not WNL. I am just a bug bite and tick and cuts and scrapes patrol. And of course on standby if a CA or...

Any Entry Level EMT-Bs Ever worked at a Summer Camp Accredited by the American Camp Association? I just got hired about a week ago for three months of living on camp. And assisting campers between ages of 5-18. I assist in medication administration:rofl: I think that should be LPN or RN only...

Dont feel bad, I did 2 12 hour shifts with a volunteer agency during the day. It was a town of 4000 people. ER there only has 6 beds. And during the 2 shifts. I had no hitters.:rofl: So I had to call my EMT-B Instructor and he had to assign me to a agency that has more call volumes. Finally...

We'll not really, I am working this summer at a girl scout camp in Minnesota. Making 2500 for the summer. But I may land a Ambulance job. I was offered a job interview over the phone for a BLS rig job, I think it entails patient transfers and patients discharged to SNF or rapid recovery units...

Well same goes here; I had to work for a medical clinical staffing agency that will call me and tell me that an EMT is needed at a hotel for a large convention or concert. At which I enjoy. But in retrospect, I want to work under the lights and sirens part of EMS. That's where the real patient...

Yes, that is true. Basicly you are wanting to try and sell your self to that agency Like sound punctual, and with a great positive attitude, But don't over do it, And don't interrupt the interviewer; and don't ask so many irrelevant questions. I got some tips from my college job coach.

I was a CNA once, it was ok; but being underpaid for what the duties CNAs had to go through. That's why I stepped it up a few notches to become an EMT-B.

Usually where I live they hire PCEs aka "Patient Care Extenders" or ED Techs. Only if you have EMT-B or CNA experience. Sometimes that is what they prefer. My local hospital just opened up an urgency center and they have the PCEs that work under their medical director or under the supervision of...

EMS Employment Dont feel bad, I am in the same boat here too. I got my Patch and Cert in January. Applied to several agencies in MN. But no luck up until today, I got an email for a job interview over the phone for a BLS EMT-B. position; at which the job entails BLS transfers to intercepting...

Recently I have been applying for an EMT-B job with any Ambulance Agency in my area! Since receiving my patch, I have not gotten one call or email from any agency, no such luck! But finally I thought I needed to call 911 for myself, I just about had a syncopal episode:lol: Today I check my...

Sure I can see your point in that situation. Reason why I threw out the ERP asking for a Manual Radial Pulse or Carotid. My EMT instructor told me that a EMT was working for an agency that did not have a manual BP cuff on their rig:unsure:. And when they transported this patient to the ED. The...

"Go Big Or Go Home!"

Now If we had severe stomach flu issues N/V the "RUNS":rofl: Do we want to be taking care of that patient? Absolutely Not !Especially when there is no toilet close by. You sure don't want to be embarrassed if you soil yourself. There are nights when EMTs or Medics never have time to use a...

Watches are one of the first things, I would not want to forget. For example, if you transport the patient to the ER and the DOC asked, "Where the patients resps and pulse taken manually on scene?":huh: Then what would we say! Because sometimes the machines that are carried on a Rig malfunction...

Sorry to hear that, man, You know there are websites out there that have practice exams. And they have trauma, cardiac, CPR, medical and operations. But I do wish you luck. Just read the questions very carefully and slowly and nextime when you go. ask for a private area where it is quiet...

It took me 45 minutes and it cut me off at 72, I was nervous, then I found out the next day I passed. In Minnesota, we have to take the state part, in which we use Fisdap, I don't know if you use that in your state. But I thought that was harder than the NREMT exam. Before taking the NREMT exam...
