Nrmemtb exam Took my exam yesterday on the 7th stopped me at 65 ?'s... Was kinda worried that i might have bombed it. Got my conformation this morning and had passed

and the weird thing was is that she was so calm you would have to hear the call. if you ever get a chance to sit in at a dispatch center you should gives you will have a whole new respect for youre dispatchers.

Ok ill try to keep this short, my wife is a dispatcher for the county we live in. This weekend I got to work with her since they were short handed really wanted to see their side of it all. It had been pretty calm tell a man called said his wife had a gun and knife and she was going to kill...

In this field i learn everyday every call you will not ever stop learning there will allways be somthing new.. i take every recomindation into consideration

you are so right on that. i give you props. scene size up doesn't end it continues through out the call up to the point when you transfer care over. oh crap i was gonna give up!!! lol

White Towel Time OK i give up again for real this time you guys are way to good for me.

I know what you are saying Jon.... But I have to disagree somewhat. I don't care who or what it is these days when that door opens on the rescue rig all my basic BSI equip. is in place. In my small town I see way to many people make patient contact and not were BSI equip. because they have...

ICS/NIMS Trainig If you have not been through any NIMS OR ICS "incident command system" classes i would recommend everyone having them. Most of the classes can be done online with certification after the material. http://training.fema.gov/IS/NIMS.asp

Let me clarify Ok let me make myself clear the gloves go on while Enroute to the call. No thet are not driving gloves but when the door of the rig is opened everyone has BSI on. And in no means are the gloves worn while driving after patient contact has been maid....<_<

No The EMT-B scope of practice should not include additional skills. Thats why there are different levels of EMT "EMT-B,EMT-I, Paramedic"
