This doesnt explain how they secure the dog during transport. Sitting on the floor isnt crash-worthy, which our state regulations specifically call for.

How does that work? if theyre assessing and treating on your cot inst that an EMTALA violation?

Plenty of nurses and docotrs and paramedics (Myself) made it into medicicine without being exposed to the job as a child.

My agency has one. Biggest hunk of junk ive ever worked in. Huge shop queen. Drive belt snaps all the time. The generator is underpowered to run everything so the breaker flips regularly. Its not insulated enough to really cool down the box. Half the time we just take the doors and flip the...

the narcs in the bag are in a clear flambeau case locked in a bankers deposit bag like this. In station theres a Knox box with a keypad. Narcs are counted and recorded on a sheet at the start and end of every shift.

Why would you want the radios to stay on when the truck isnt running? They always boot up fine in any truck ive ever been in

Yeah, the Ferno Powertraxx. Its a great tool for really heavy people, but its also very heavy itself. We ended up moving it to our supervisor vehicle as a special call item for lift assists as the staff didnt like using it daily because it was so heavy.

Seems like theyre coming to NJ. We have so many out of state medics on orientation right now we literally dont have enough FTOs to train them all simultaneously. But its literally a $10-$15/hr pay increase for some of these medics just for crossing the rivers. Which makes sense to me, get an...

FWIW, our legal department disagrees with this. It came up about 2 years ago and went through a long review process. We had a whole policy revision and training on it.

Im not saying your wrong but our community college runs a nursing course. Straight from high school into a 2 year program, you come out with an associates and can sit for the NCLEX, pass it an you get your RN license. afterward you can go on and transfer the credits to one of the state colleges...

And we should hold the same standard.

Isnt that how NR works? You have to complete an accredited program before you can sit for the test.

If i have patient contact, literally drag her out if necessary and leave. Call PD as i do.

Yeah, people need to get paid to live

before we got Lucas ive done it. Now its kinda irrelevant for us.

When we still had ampules of Epi i took the little white plastic cap thing that comes in the tip of my flushes, drilled a hole and put in a split ring and glued that into a 5ml syringe with the plunger removed. Put the end of the ampule into the syringe and snap. Clip this ghetto snap-it onto my...

The first one!

Ok, i flew a patient last week and the flight medic had this thing on his badge that the 10ml syringes i gave him clipped into. I love the idea, it would making managing syringes of pressors and RSI drugs a lot easier. Unfortunately i wasnt able to ask him about it, patient care and all that...

I just want a competent extrication team....
