FYI: I got the job and here is some info on the interview process: Step 1 is the interview. Step 2 is a 50 question written test the same day. Step 3 is skills testing day: -trauma assessment/spinal immobilization -medical assessment -cpr/aed -upper extrem. splinting -traction...

I was recently asked how I would splint a broken scapula and clavicle and shoulder. My first thought would to just use the good old sling and swathe method...but are there other ways to do this? Any thoughts? Any web resources with pictures? Thanks!

Oops! I forgot to change my location info. Yeah, I've moved back to MA from CA. That would be a long commute!

Hey All, I have an interview on Monday with Trinity Ambulance in MA. Does anyone have any info as to what their hiring process is like? Any info is helpful...thanks guys!

so for Cataldo do you apply and then get asked to come in for testing, or do you just call and register for the test date and submit an application then?

Could you let us know how it goes? I know I'll be interested...I'll be moving back home to Boston from Cali at the end of May and Cataldo is one of my top choices.

I have a few friends that work there and they say that it's pretty shady...but hey, a job's a job right? I guess we can't get too choosy in this economy. Just count your hours and CYA!

I'm excited for the reality series. There is only one episode at the moment, but they are getting the funding together to make 10 more.

We aren't cops. Anyone who interferes with a chase is way out of line. I can bet that his rig was out of service for at least a few hours too. What about the people that he could have been helping while he was dealing with the endless red tape that occurs after a rig collision?

I definitely cavi my steth, bp cuff after every pt contact. I never thought about my watch though. Now that gets added to the cancer wash!

too many choices! Wish I could pick more than one...

haha, I meant as the driver! I would never listen in the back. ^_^

This is probably a really stupid question...but what does OP stand for?

Yeah, I'll also listen up front while transporting. We have rear speakers but I'd never use them unless the PT asked.

I totally agree. Does she smoke or have hypertension?
