I noticed that our hospital began a new position for the ER and certain units. Normally we have a Patient care tech that is usually equal to the EMT-B and RN which can sometimes be equal to an RN. I can't really get info on it from anyone so I'm wondering if I theres anything similar out there...

I went ahead with a Boston Leather strap. For my use I think it'll do me good, otherwise I have a rifle sling that might just work

Looking for something to hold my radio, Should I get a swivel clip that the belt feeds through or should I get an over the shoulder strap? Cost seems somewhat similar, what brands?

My Finnish M39, Probably the most accurate and fun to shoot gun I own. After learning the sights and rifle I can hit clay pigeons pretty easy at 200 Yards DPMS Oracle. Surprisingly good for the price. Did end up changing alot for comfort but out of the box with a decent sight will get you...

65 for EMT-B and passed Forgot to post when I took the test

In search of vol 1-5. Thank you!

The PRN job is at a company that I wouldn't mind but long term I would want to stay around here or transfer to their station closer to home. The ride alongs for the P school are done through a private 911 service around here so maybe I could use that time to try to get in with them as well.

Its where most people have to start though isnt it? My assumption is that if i was a new medic they would throw me in that for some experience

Sounds good thank you! One last question even if i dont end up going to the ER as much as i think i will be would i still be good with an IFT service in the end?

Primary is in a mental health and substance abuse rehab but in the second part of the year im going to pick up shifts in the ER. Its not really a sitter, i have to do vitals, charting and some basic assesments of patients that come in or have been there a while. We do have codes and medical...

I was wondering if i should apply for a PRN position at an ambulance thats about an hours drive from here. A little back story here, I am a basic that couldnt get hired at an ambulance service so i took a PCT job at the hospital to get experience. Wanting to go to P school in the fall If I...

Some hospitals wont let a basic do IV's on patients but I've still had other workers offer to let me practice on them. If they do it would be more of a pay thing, basics get paid less so it saves them in the budget. Getting into an ER may be pretty hard from what I heard, It would be better to...

Well my advice is going off what I've been told about my situation (Can't find a job but for a different reason). I would work in a hospital for a little bit and work towards your Paramedics. I work in a mental health/rehab section of the hospital and it's alot better than I thought it would be...

Yes, I've interviewed at AMT and Genesis, AMT said they didn't have any current positions open at the moment so I'm wondering if my application was lost with them, haven't heard back from genesis so my assumption is they didn't like me and Medic I have no idea, they have a volunteer/PRN for...

I couldn't figure out how to send a PM but I am in the Quad Cities area
