Hi there!
Maybe I'm just an incompetent google researcher, but I can't figure out what exactly I need to recert in LA County, or if it's even possible. Any help would be appreciated! Basically I've been working in a totally unrelated field for the past few years and unfortunately let my certs...
We started with 47 and the number eventually whittled down to 20 or 25 people at the end of the final day of class.
It was pretty depressing, since the majority of them failed on the last day when they didn't get at least 240 out of 300 on their final.
I agree with LucidResq. I felt like I learned a lot more on my ER clinicals and they definitely boosted my confidence level for my ride outs. Taking vitals for 8 hours straight in triage might be freaking boring, but you don't wanna have your first go at vitals in the back of the rig on a bumpy...
It really depends. Cliché answer, but it's true.
I just passed my EMT class, but I had to drop out of one class out of three last semester. EMT class wasn't hard, per se, but I focused all of my attention on it. To me it was a huge distraction. I ended up neglecting my math class completely...
This is entirely speculation, since I'm only an EMT student with 24 hours of ridealongs under my belt, but if there's more than one person on scene... "Who called 911?" sounds like a good question, if it's not glaringly obvious.
It might be a little embarrassing to start treating the wrong...
As of now, my only outside interest is snowboarding. I've been called obsessed, haha.
In the off-season I like photography, drums, guitar, mountain biking... I'm going to try surfing this summer though to keep my balance up to par for winter.
Erm, yes... what's in my bag.
- laptop
- gum
- calculator
- power bar
- snowboard wax
- screwdriver
- screws
- flashlight
- ski mask
- albuterol inhaler
- some sumatriptan
- water bottle
- notebooks
- pens and pencils
I'm either on the slopes or at school.
I can't comment on the medic program since I'm in the basic program, but for now, to their defense, they don't advocate that they're the best. The people that are enrolled in the class are there because they want to be there. They aren't being misled. At the orientations they do take the time to...
^Tight ship, eh. Congrats for not being one of the 4. :P Good luck with your course!
I'm glad my particular instructor wasn't too strict about paperwork. I promised him I'd get my crap together by next class meeting and sure enough I've got my medical clearance, CPR card, and books ready. :)...
Thank you for your help. Right now I don't have any questions but I'll get back to you if I do (and you don't mind). :D
I had my first class meeting today and it turns out I didn't have my *** chewed. My skills instructor is giving me 'til next class meeting to get it all together. So far so...
Hello! My name is Alyssa--I'm 18, living in San Bernardino and lined up to start EMT-B training at Riverside Community College this coming Tuesday if they let me, haha. I won't have some of the required paperwork ready in time so I'm just hoping they give me a chance.
I'm aiming to have a...
