Thank you very much for this!

No, I’m not. Is this a title at your hospitals, or...?

What are some community resources you have for your patients in your area? I am working with a team at my agency to create a list for our employees on community resources we can refer our patients to when necessary, and I figured I would ask for other ideas for places to look. No idea is too...

FDNY also depends on what bus you are on.

Oh I know. I came from busier so this is cake for me, but some of my coworkers are less than pleased with the consistent increase in call volume of 3-4% every year

So our SSM is modified Bc we don't reassign every unit based on dispatch. Just Bc a call goes out, we don't ALL move based on system status recommendations. It's a bit hard to explain, but you can also visit the area and schedule a ride along and have an opportunity to see inside our dispatch...

I have a buddy from NY who is over at wake. I don't think he is on the forums but can put you in touch if you'd like.

Ok, so now that I'm awake and have coffee: CLT is a great area with a lot to do and is located nicely between the beach and the mountains, like you said. We have a decent pension (I believe it's a 2/3 but don't quote me) same insurance offerings as most city employees (I believe the high...

Meck is awesome. I'm here, I can go into more detail later, but we are 1/10 size of fdny but just as busy. Lvl 1 trauma center here. Great compensation. More to come soon.

[QUbtPayne on paid admin leave, under criminal investigation. 2.Mr. Gray (the burn victim) is also a reserve police officer in ID and his dept has thanked Nurse Alex for standing up for his rights. Payne has been terminated, his Lt has been demoted and I am so glad that his superiors took this...

Does anyone have any first (or even second) hand experience with the flavor?

MEDIC requires fisdap recently (idr if it's 6 mos or a year) you can take it on site or online (fee, but reimbursed if/when hired) if you need to take it. There's a physical along with a panel interview, medical interview and a trauma scenario. Academies run every 1 to 2 months. Plus size is...

I have a friend who works at Grady (I believe) sounds like a solid place to work. MEDIC is extremely supportive of its employees and has a medical director who is active without being punitive. For the most part, our protocols are fairly progressive, and as a new employee you would be partnered...

I recently relocated to Charlotte (1yr ago) and am so happy with it. I work for MEDIC, which is the ems agency in mecklenburg county. It has been a great move for us. I love the area and I can honestly say it's one of the best places I work. Feel free to reach out with any questions! And good...

I would also add: don't be afraid of this conversation (but still be tactful!) as these patients or families have made the decision for end of life care, they know what it means. I usually ask ' Do you have any advanced directives?' If they look at me sideways, I follow up with 'If your heart...

If your patient has gone into respiratory arrest, I would treat by protocol (OPA/NPA) until ALS arrived/you arrive at the hospital. I would NOT wait to insert an airway if your pt isn't breathing. If the obstruction didn't dislodge with Any interventions before unresponsiveness, I doubt it will...

If you aren't trained in it, and authorized to do so, it's also a form assault, even if the woman is dead; which actually it says she has injuries incompatible with life, not that she was dead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is exactly what I do, but I figured before preaching my way, I would try and see what others use. Thanks :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My partner has admittedly stated that he has difficulty tying and securing restraints on patients. Which got me thinking; what type of knots do you use to secure your restraints? Slip knots? Hitches? My partner secures them, but can't get them off without shears. Hoping to help him learn one...
