    Ca Ambulance DL

    I wouldn't worry too much, if you end up getting pulled over by CHP, chances are you're getting fired anyways. Also, a few months back I had the same issue, and when I got pulled over in my personal vehicle and while he was writing my ticket I told him my situation. He said "If you get...

    Patients trying to add you

    I just think it is creepy that a 5150 who was combative and we had to restrain and at EPS they took her in the seclusion room found me on fb. It is concerning. I am really considering taking my facebook offline, or at least figuring out a way to make it more private.

    Community College / Bay Area CA - Skyline EMT-B

    Your school will set it up. I don't know if the word contract is the right word, but they "contract" with the area hospitals and amber lamps companies to let you guys hang out. When you ride along, bring doughnuts. Everyone in EMS likes to say "we like to eat healthy", but I have never seen a...

    nausea in the crash seat

    Am I the only one who loves zofran so much that I got my MD to write a script for it? The only time I have had to use it on shift is when my partner was proving the Asian female driver stereotype.

    Patients trying to add you

    I honestly had no idea I was this popular with the ladies, but in the last month I have had three patients (I frequent flyer, and 2 5150s) add me on Facebook. Has anyone had any issues with this? It is weird because I work 2 hours away from home, and I don't advertise where I live, that and I...

    Westmed Interview

    What should I be doing to study, they are in 2 counties, which county should I be studying for protocols? What's their hiring process? Should I wear my Christmas/Santa Tie or a professional one? Should I tell them that I am a Reservist?

    What's the story with your screen name?

    Well my name is Nathan. It was quite difficult trying to figure out such a creative screen name such as mine, but you know such creativity runs in my family.

    Northern California EMT

    That posting has been up since the 20th. And I am pretty sure Rural has been in the Bay Area for a hot minute... They are probably doing the normal cleaning house hiring/firing spree. You shouldn't apply. Not that I am biased because I just submitted an application... :P

    Is this normal

    I passed the exams and all that stuff, I am licensed, but I feel like I don't know anything. I know CPR and a bunch of book/scenario mumbo jumbo, but I feel like that a lot of it is inapplicable to the "streets". I guess I am feeling a bit overwhelmed that after a 9 week emt course and once I...
