Bleh….always hate this news.

The time has come, and admittedly it has been with extreme mixed emotions, confusion, and moments of "lost identity". As of 12/31/2022, for the first time since 1993, I no longer hold an active EMS License. It's over. I opted to not renew my licenses. I knew this day would come; however, I...

So the below paste is from an ER RN FB thread. A lot of discussion but no answers… 1. Why fentanyl? 2. What is indication for narcs? 3. Any studies out there or any of y’all heard of this? And yes I asked her why she allowed it to be given especially when the treating RN had no explanation and...

I googled some and could not verify or debunk this scenario... However, yesterday I had the pleasure of watching an EMT from NC proceeding through onboarding for a crisis response job. Her CPR card was expired, however she was very loud and insistent that she did not need a current CPR card to...

Hey guys...I have opportunity to help an agency with the development of a Training Officer Role. Would any of you be willing to email me the job description your organization uses for this established position? I want to see things I may not have considered and poach some as well. This is a...

I cannot recall, but are any of you CA RNs? I know there is many opinions on combining these two drugs, and I do not care to debate the pros and cons of such. I am seeking factual information which supports or refutes that this is "illegal in CA as it is considered compounding which is not in...

I will post the info flyer link below. If you are interested, there is a link in the flyer to click to indicate your interest. I have not fully vetted this company yet, maybe some of you who did NYC early COVID know of them...they were "in the bubble". I have talked for over an hour with the...

I have been googling and falling into rabbit hole after rabbit hole, yet still have not found exactly what I am looking for. With our diverse membership here, I was hoping some of ya'll may have some input to offer. I am thinking more of what I am looking for may come from the West Coast as...

Yep, sorry not sorry, bragging on myself a little bit. I did the entire program, did not do a bridge class. Glad I did it that way for many reasons. I do intend to write a recap of the journey, pros and cons for a Paramedic making the leap...but until I do, for now...I have passed NCLEX and am...

See attached bulletin.

Somewhere in the COVID threads someone had posted two direct email addresses. Where is that thread? And those emails? I have scanned and scanned, no luck yet.

Unsure how many of you are aware...BP stations are offering a 50 cent per gallon discount to all healthcare workers, emergency responders for the next 60-90 days or so. Caveat: The station also has to be a participating station. Register on BP.com and then get directed to an independent site...

Here is the article... I know nothing of how their system works, however I imagine they have a huge budget. With that in mind, how is it possible they still use paper and require a signature for hours worked?? No electronic system? Swipe in/swipe out? No computer system to log in and log out...

It has been a while since I started a new thread and I often tend to post on the more abstract, introspective side of medicine when I do. So without breaking tradition, here I go again. I have two points of observation here, so feel free to hit one or both. First, I have noticed over the years...

Can I change my name to MMizz, or Chimpiee, or FFEMT97888...asking for a friend. LOL :) I could be Tiggger.

I am googling...but in a testing situation, do you use standard rounding rules when calculating MAP? Say the MAP calculated is 70.6....would you put 70, 71, or 70.6? Sources for any claims would be much appreciated. Thanks! EDIT: For this particular question, the formula being used is DBP x...

Ok, which ones of you are a US Licensed Physician? And in case they do not see this, if any of you know who is and can share their screen name, that would be great so I can send them a PM.
