    Did you get in? Because based off the time of your post you probably took the same pre hire test I did.

    Athiests in EMS

    Im an eclectic Pagan, primarily following Wicca. While I have no problem with other people's belief's since I believe that they all basically have the same idea and goal in mind, other people arent always quite as tolerant. What are some good ways to dodge the question when people ask me about...

    Thank you everyone

    Yeah im hanging onto the field guide though. The class definately helped but there are several things at the basic level that my company allows me to do, that other companies do not. Nasal Narcan, Glucometer readings and pretty soon King intubation. So I wasnt prepared for that.

    Thank you everyone

    I surprisingly didnt do anything stupid...I think. Just got done on my first day, 16 hour shift. We did a total of 5 calls, 3 911 and 2 transports (1 was a triage from ALS) Nothing really crazy going on, they were all pretty tame and I was teching on the last Pt. Although there wasnt much I...

    Motivation For Fitness

    I agree with you. This workout looks pretty intense and tiring too. Great for building stamina as well. One of the most important things she was doing though was her timing in breathing.

    WoW

    Been playing since Vanilla but have been quitting off and on as it gets very boring when you have done everything. I kicked this habit back in May or so been clean ever since. Now with Cataclysm I feel the draw to come back to it but I am resisting the best I can. Really dont want it sucking up...

    It was pretty funny. Being a CNA she understood what I was doing though.

    State written

    Do a light review. I just took mine not too long ago coming out of the same timing for class. Where did you go? Mine was NSCC. I did a light review and passed. It is a 70 for a passing score. A couple of tips, many of the questions are poorly worded so take your time going through all the...

    Yeah it actually does out of context...Didnt think of that. On the bright side while she was still asleep it stopped her snoring :P

    Football Helmets

    I was taught that if its possible to remove the shoulder pads and helmet while maintaining C spine and comfort then do it. Alot of parents actually get mad at this though because the equipment is expensive if you have to cut it...Dont get me started on that... At the same time though...

    I figured I would share this story since people tend to get a kick out of it. When I was still in school becoming a basic, I obviously began gaining new skills and was anxious to try them out... So its about 0200 and I am sitting in my bedroom, my girlfriend sound asleep in my bed across the...

    Snorting Salt

    I cant believe the site selling the stuff is a real site...I couldn't help but laugh at it. I think its just that I can't take it seriously when they "professionally" state "Please do not use as SNUFF"
