Can anyone speak for EMS on the western (particularly south-west, pittsburgh and south of the pitts area) area of PA? Also does anyone know the requirements for medic school in PA? I tried doing a search, tried searching the google and can not find what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

I was reading some articles and read over this. Any thoughts on this?
So I'm in the commissary and reaching up on a high shelf to grab a box of cereal. My shirt rides up, just a little bit, making my tattoo peak a bit. This chick comes up to me, jerks my shirt up and goes "ohhh cool tattoo!" then she motions her husband over to look at it!!! :wacko:
Last night at a christmas party I had to use my knowledge for the first time. On my own child. My son was buckled into his stroller munching on a chip. Choked. I have 3 kids and never have any of them choked before. I'm amazed at how fast you can get a child out of a stroller and start working...
I can't find a job with any of the privates around here. Fire isn't an option. I really want to go to medic school but I need my patient care time and you have to be sponsored into the program by your agency as well. So it was my goal to get hired right away but the only company here hiring I...

Setting aside the medical marijuana debate, what are your thoughts on giving it to kids?
I've heard that if you work at a hospital it doesn't count to your patient care time needed to get into medic school. Can anyone tell me why it doesn't count?
Dont jump down my throat. I did use the search feature and read through dozens and dozens of any kind of remotely related thread to find what I was looking for. Now I'm at my last resort.. posting.
I took all the avaliable quizzes/reviews that I found around in those threads and they all...
I know that my school has to confirm with the NR that I'm legit. I put in my application on halloween. Still waiting for it to be approved. How long does it typically take?
I got this email from my grandfather, someone sent it to him. Thought it was kind of funny and wanted to share.
What advice for avoiding sickness or just bad medical advice have you gotten?
I remember being told when I was pregnant if I held my pee it would backwash into the amniotic...
When I put in a formal complaint on an instructor, do I go to the one that is the head of the training program at my school or to the dean or is there some ems person I go to?
I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for exactly. Don't shoot me!
Our instructor told us we should set up our NREMT account. So I did that. But I'm confused about putting in an application. Is this to apply to take the exam? It says not to go further unless you've been told to...
Alright, we were told (by one guy) if the PT is altered, we can't ascertain a proper SAMPLE. Then today I got marked off for not doing a SAMPLE while I was on c-spine with my PT who was altered and A&Ox1. He said he crashed to avoid running over big foot. ( :lol: I love this guys imagination, he...

Went to the ER tonight because I thought I had H1N1, still do.. flu swab was negative but they gave me treatment for it anyway. Got there in respiratory distress, they took me back when I was in failure. I had my book bag with me and this nurse guy (says he's a paramedic) asks me if they were my...
