    Obestetrical Scenario

    Thanks for the replies. I wound up changing up the scenario to a preeclampsia that goes to eclampsia call. This way it is cut and clear on ALS, and also will required meds if they don't assess correctly, as she will start seizing again. It's hard to paint the picture I was going for in the...

    Obestetrical Scenario

    Realistic? I know it might be hard to figure out what the problem is because it could be a lot of things from a bug to food poisoning, but I tried to make it kinda obvious.

    Helping with Teaching Anatomy & Physiology

    That is true, our class is death by power point. Unfortunately they want us teaching, not videos....otherwise trust me, I'd be hitting up some Khan academy and Crash Course videos.

    Helping with Teaching Anatomy & Physiology

    Thanks for the suggestions! I think we are going to do the flow charts, and hand bands, and then chicken bones for IOs. We also have to cover special patient populations, so we are going to do scenarios to review that information. StCEMT, I'm looking for ways to review the topics with the...

    Education Hours for North Carolina

    So my school keep changing the requirements for our hours for class. I wanted to see if anyone knows where I can get resources from North Carolina OEMS preferrably. I need to find the hours we have to cover in class and how many we can miss. The last portion of our class is a hybrid course and...

    Did you work while in paramedic training?

    I am in paramedic school now and I work as a basic part time. Part time for my agency means I have to pick up a minimum of 3 shifts/month. When I started class in January I was working full time hours (at least 36-48hr/wk), volunteering part time (4 shifts per month) and going to school (one day...

    What do you carry? - The mega thread

    Having Trouble Passing NREMT-B - Suggestions?

    Honestly the way I tested was to memorize the NR sheet. When I went into the test I imagined I was "in" the question. If the question was all about a 24-yo female patient and her ab pain, but it asks you what the first thing you'd do or be thinking is, It would more than likely be scene safety...

    How many calls do you get typically in a shift...

    In one county I've been at on a 14-hr shift we averaged at around 10/day. In another smaller county (rescue squad) we do about 150-200 month. I've been down on days with no calls and some days with 7 calls on 12 hour shifts.
