I'll let our medics know that you think they also need more training. Most of them also work in the city, so I'm certain they'll hop on your advice. I think I'm doing just fine. But if I ever move to wherever you're from, I'll be certain to brush up.

I have bagged in both those situations. Many times. Without an npa. But most times if a person was satting low, an nrb with high flow worked well. I understand your need for one, I also understand that I've had no obvious need or I would have used one. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Then I'm guessing I am in a whole department of sadly lacking personnel. According to you. I sincerely hope that when I finish my cc course I understand airway management and am able to tube someone. I winery how my patients have all survived without my sticking a rubber tube up their noses...

? OK then. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Sorry? I haven't had a patient needing airway management that needed an npa. Is there an issue with that? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Oh, I might add that I'm 5 minutes from 2 hospitals, and our level 1 trauma Center is 15 minutes. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

From what I've noticed from many people in my County-npa's aren't used as often as many other places. I believe our npa pack expired before it was used. (We replaced it, but it sits, lonely and ignored. Lol) In an arrest, an opa is only used until als arrives to intubate. Sent from my...

I'm still in the field, and quite active. We just don't get patients requiring an npa as opposed to an opa. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I think I placed one about 19 years ago. None since then. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Yeah, @PassionMedic, Back then, I was raising 4 kids and waiting to rejoin a fire department! That course as it was sounds far too intense for me! lol!! I'd be in the medic program now, but my A & P is 30 years old and they wouldn't accept it as a prereq. So, I'll bridge from CC (God willing I...

As far as I know, SCCC doesn't give a critical care course, just Paramedic, and that's an 18 month course, and you must be an EMT for a year I believe. I'm in school at the SCEMS Academy for CC. I'm in the 2nd to last class of it's kind-CC's are being phased out, so I'll be bridging to medic...

I've used boundtree.com. It's pretty cool, easy to deal with and your certs are instamtly available.

I have a visible tattoo on my wrist (a heart beat, like you see on the cardiac monitor) Most of the people I work with have tattoos. As long as the ink isn't raunchy or inappropriate, no problem here.

I'm confused as to how you take both basic and Advanced at the same time. It seems counter productive, and will become very confusing. I'm in NYS (Suffolk County), we have to have some Basic time under our belt before going for an ALS class. That being said, I don't know where you live, but if...
