Wait, do you have to do the skills too ? You have the National Registry though.

I found this funny as a EMT but now I can 100% relate after passing my NREMT-P

Has it changed for EMT like it did for paramedic?

We've been told the guaranteed skills we will be tested on are: Trauma patient assessment/management; Medical Patient assessment/management; Cardiac Arrest Management/AED; Spinal Immobilization (Supine); BVM Ventilation of an Apneic Adult Patient; and Oxygen Administration by Non-Rebreather Mask. Our random stations (I think they said we'll do 2 of them? I forget, will double check tomorrow in class): Spinal Immobilization (Seated) aka KED station; Bleeding Control/Shock Management; Long Bone Immobilization; and Joint Immobilization

Yup, I'm doing the whole shebang, skills, NR computer test. I HAD national, but I let it expire. (My initial certification was back in 2012, and I never renewed it, I was looking at the requirements to renew a cert that's expired 2+ years and it was basically take a refresher and retest....which this class is a little more involved, but since I would have to sit through the class either way, might as well be paid to go through all that vs paying to figure out the hoops on my own lol
 
Make sure you check those darn pulses in all extremities before and AFTER you strap them to the board. Please don't ask me how I know. Cuz I'll lie to ya.
 
Yeah, one of my friends nearly failed his HFD skills for forgetting one of the CMS checks during the traction splinting skill station. And for HFD standards, any test, academic or skills, you get one retest. Fail the restest and the white shirts decide your fate (so far we've lost one guy for failing skills testing, one of the fire skills; and another guy for failing too may academic tests, once again on the fire side) They said, "Yeah National Registry allows up to 3 retests, but if your taking that third test, that will no longer be as a part of Recruit Academy"..... (hence why even for me and the other guys that had done NR in the past, skills testing is a bit stressful!!)
 
Well now that I've officially gotten my sleep schedule flipped, 0200 sounds like a great time to get to the gym. Might be the only perk to this new shift is just how empty the gym gets after around 2300.
 
Snowing in houston
 
The Houston metro is essentially shut down.
 
The amount of lies being spread about CA AB-263 is ridiculous. There's a copy paste going around that states the exact opposite of what the bill will be doing. Its insane.

It gives us extra pay if a meal time is not given uninterrupted, it also holds companies accountable for accurate recordkeeping and requires they turn over these records to the employee if requested.

Columbus, GA it's snowed down here and there is tons of ice on the roads right now. Plenty of tire tracks showing lots of people have gone off the roads this morning. Glad I'm not working and went to the market already and am staying inside today. I've lived where there is snow before so it's not a big deal to me, but apparently some people still haven't learned to drive slow on ice.
 
Is it just me, or did the president's physician seem a bit optimistic about the president's health? BMI of 29...meh-control over hypercholesterolemia...
 
Also, unrelated...

Is taking TECC totally worthless for a BLS provider?

I guess I'm just hesitant to blow $250 on it, even if it is tax deductible...
