LOL @ Jersey - I'd worry about having to buy Vent a whole case for calling her a him! There are several here with good resources and I don't think this was meant to go into a RN vs RRT vs Medic discussion and unfortunately I think that's the direction it ended up going. I'm not that...

There is also Calstar - but they fly RN/RN config. You are likely going to be a more competitive candidate as an RN/medic than as a medic alone. Also getting your degree pushes you forward as well as excellent skills and clinical decision making ability. Most have a written and skills test...

That was what made it so incredibly funny. I admit - we all saw the humor in it - except him of course <_<

Nice JP ! :P

We did this one time and it was a mother/daughter burn patient being transferred to a burn center from basically a free standing clinic. Both were stable but needed to be transferred for additional care. Due to the situation, we found it completely appropriate and I don't believe anyone would...

That is defintely another benefit to the King - which I believe I mentioned earlier (perhaps I didn't brain is slow today) is the ability to use an NG tube to prevent gastric distention. I agree that the King is almost impossible to not place correctly and with the advantage of having multiple...

Take care and stay safe out there !

There was actually an attempt to set up a "paramedic clinic" where people could go for minor things - very similar to the doc in a box deal for urgent treatment clinics. They would work in communication with a dedicated medical director there for reading of basic x-rays etc. It was on the...

Our one topped out at 38 mph, and the other one at 31 mph - I'd sure like to know what we hit going down that hill though - we were flying. Discovered when the security shack set up a speed trap on the area where the cars came off the production line because people were driving them out to the...

No, the one prior - '03 or '05 I can't recall off top of my head sorry ! Pretty sure it was '03 though !

Hope this gives you a better idea of where I'm coming from !

Needless to say I've calmed down some !

Ummm yeah....had one a little too frisky that morning and kicked the top and hadn't gotten over there to fix it yet. Needed to buy a new board, but unfortunately if I'd taken that board out I would have hard horses jumping out and wandering onto the main road.

I respectfully state I am forced to disagree for all the reasons highlighted above.

This is a growing concern as more and more people, especially within the EMS and other public safety professions are getting into trouble for their facebook/myspace content. Several people i know have deactivated their accounts while job hunting for this very reason. It's amazing what people...

Intubation is the current gold standard as it is the only thing which provides a definitive seal on the airway preventing aspiration. The LMA actually encourages aspiration. It seats poorly in the airway, was designed for patients that were NPO so there was no risk of vomiting, if the patients...

Another thing that was told to me along the way that I've found useful : Work smarter, not harder. If there's a better way to do it an easier way that will get the same job done, try it. Be open to new ideas - they may work, they may not, but everybody's got something to contribute. Even...

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Nope, in the other K location !:ph34r:

There are very valid concerns for this. I have serious concerns with 24 hour shifts busy, or non busy departments be it in flight or ground services. I have lost 2 former coworkers due to accidents resulting from falling asleep at the wheel following 24 hour shifts. The truth is, in this job...

If you know your size and are fairly certain of it, e-bay or overstock.com can be excellent resources for you. I personally like galls as they have a large variety of pants brands (though I do suggest staying away from their pants as the quality is poor and they do not hold up well over time...
