I have been gone from this site a while. So much has happened. AFter a very long illness, my husband passed away in May and I am of course having a horrible time dealing with it. What was the most comforting of this situation, which we knew was coming, but came too soon, was that though he...

Thanks to all of you... I passed my intermediate state exam and got my license. It was very emotional and very heartwrenching. I had to do my practicals in the morning and my written in the afternoon. it was nervewracking. I thought I was going to pass out. I never did feel comfortable...

Awesome Awesome suggestions. Out here Intermediates are not required to take the national registry, although they can if they choose. I am taking it at the state level. Once I get through paramedic school, however, that is required (National Registry). I will use any and all suggestions...

Good Morning: Have not visitied this site for a while. I am preparing for my State Exam, and with children in the picture, life is slightly more than chaotic. Wanted to thank you all for the advice you gave me. I managed to pass my Intermediate class and have my provisional license...

Wow Thats very thorough. And I am sure your partners and patients would feel very appreciative of that. I totally get it now, after having worked both the rig and ER. But it does seem some people in the ER, especially those who have been around a while, are getting too complacent with...

nice LOL. I like that. Hope your kidding!!:)

understood!! I understand completely!!!I went through the same thing yesterday in the ER. I have been very good about taking precautions going into the patients room but sometimes with a stat transfer they don't tell you a lot. In the year I have been with the ER I have never had four back...
