i agree with caox3! sometimes we are the angel there to hold that hand, or that last loving face that a patient may see. be glad for the experience, celebrate the life, and punch in for the next day. see if your service offers counseling by ems vets, or other healthcare providers. these...

50 mile tx for dnr pt i get where you are coming from. by all accounts this patient screamed als. what matters is what the dnr allows or does not allow. some people want cpr only, some want fluids or feeding tubes. you see, it varies from person to person. read the dnr, then decide. the...

incident reports filled out and turned in. it turns out that a few days following that mishap, myself and several other emt's were laid off. reduction of workforce due to lack of work. i have taken that short time to: 1. find another job, with another service 2. sharpen my lifting skills...

i guess you could not understand that the patient shifted weight, and the stretcher was not properly working. maybe i did not make myself clear. sorry.

we were parked on a pretty steady street. in fact, no incline, no hill, nothing but a patient shifting weight, and a crappy stretcher.

this stretcher was a problem for me when i first tech'd in it. i had just gotten a pt off of it, and my partner and i could not get the stretcher back in the unit. i was told to go buy some wd40. after spraying it down, it worked. i had not been in that truck since then. that was around...

no, just the regular stryker. thanks.

I am an emt in tennessee. I am a pretty good tech. This is the second private service that I have worked for. I worked 2 years for the first service. Would have stayed, only 9.50 hrly + 0 benefits don't work for a single parent of a 5 year old. For 5 months I have worked for this second...

I find your opinion of private industry ems quite judgemental. I work for a private company, and we are EMT-IV's and Paramedics with the same license and training as any other EMT or Paramedic. We were trained to do the same skills, and we issue the same drugs. What makes us less qualified...

EMS employees should be just as proud, gracious, and humble as any other healthcare worker.:P

dialysis patient run I am really disgusted by the actions of this BLS unit. These guys should not be ems providers. They will not be beneficial to the community that they serve. They will become an eyesore to other EMS providers, and if they are not careful they will lose certs. and cost the...

passing nremt-b hi guys! i passed the nremt last year and i am about to finish paramedic school. i took the registry twice. i will tell you that studying and preperation with emscat were the tools that helped me pass the nremt-b. good luck to all that have to pass the registry and all...

you will do as well as your preperation. that porbably does not sound very assuring, but it is a true statement. just put your best foot forward. when i took it the first time, i failed. came in three weeks later and i passed. you'll do fine! good luck on your exam.

Hey everyone!!! Just want to let you know that I have passed the NREMT!! I am so happy. I once again had the max questions and I was freaking out, but all was well.

I am feeling so much better about testing this time. I retest Thursday morning. Please pray for me. I just have to pass this time.

O.K. I have decided to go on and retake the NREMT one day next week and I want to ask each of you to pray for me and wish me all the luck in the world. I will try to take my time and hope that anxiety does not kill me again!

Amount of test questions Hey. Out of curiosity, what was the maximum number of questions that you were asked on your NREMT? Did you pass or fail?

Took NREMT JUNE 26,2008 I am so scared! Most of my classmates that took the test said that they had approximately 70 questions, 65, 51, 76 and 83. The 65, 76 and 51 failed. When I tested I had 120 questions. That was the max that the NREMT would ask on our exam. Why did I have so many...
