    FP-C and CCP-C

    I don't think companies look favorably on getting it sooner. I think flight has had an increase need for crew and has lowered their standards. The need is not as high as the ambulance, but they are short enough to be willing to pay for travelers. I saw plenty of people getting hired without...

    I don't remember all the details, I took the test I think 3 years ago, but I didn't consider it hard.

    Go raw. I think it was easier than NREMT so definitely easier than FP-C and CCP-C. Are you gonna work flight in New Mexico?

    Vents

    Not sure if you know this already, but Hamilton has a ventilator simulator app. It is called VenTrainer. I think it is a great way to train on the Hamilton ventilators and get familiar with the Hamilton T1 layout and terminology.

    Notetaking during a call

    I replied to this post 11 years ago. My preferred way of documenting calls is typing it directly into the computer as I do it.

    Hospice patient declared dead but....

    Death is usually clear cut, but not always. If you think this won't happen to you, you're probably more likely to make this blunder.

    How many crews/providers actually RTFM?

    Not required, but I keep the manuals on my phone. When I was newer, I used to review these things frequently, but not as much anymore. My company would quiz us in some meetings, questions on online training, or have flyers/memos up eg "How much weight is the pedimate approved for?", "How long...

    Nebulized Saline for Stridor

    No protocol for nebulized l-epi at my ground job. Only to consider nebulized saline for croup. You guys are already aware of which state I live and work in, lol.

    Nebulized Saline for Stridor

    The protocol for my ground job is nebulized saline for croup. We don't have carry racemic epi or decadron. I actually just used this protocol a couple of weeks ago and it seemed like it worked great. When we got to the hospital, the doctor then told the parents about how nebulized saline doesn't...

    Which Bay Area IFT company should I work for

    I used to work in the Bay Area. In my opinion, there isn't anything that makes one stand out more than the other. I think if you closed your eyes and picked at random, you'd be happy with whatever the EMS Gods chose for you. If you want to pick, that's totally fine too.
