You should be fine. Just keep motivated and continue to review while you wait. ACP only writes about four times a year for each designation so get used to it ha. In the meantime finding work as an EMR is a great way to keep you refreshed. Edmonton IFT or Alberta paramedical services both hire...

Always get the IV done before nitro, you could possibly tank their pressure

100% agree, so are we treating our victim, I mean patient after we shoot them :unsure: On a serious note I don't see any good that would ever come from it. Not that my opinion matters as my country would never allow this, however the thought of having to defend myself while working doesn't...

Gotcha ;)

Speaking of apps as I currently have none downloaded, does anyone have recommendations? I have looked at the medical category in the App Store but I always think to myself " will I ever use this"

Oh the irony of this thread

I have noticed it to and coming from someone who is fairly new to EMS it kinda gets me down and has me questioning my career choice. Sometimes I just turn off my computer because I don't want to hear it. That being said I know this is what I want to do and no ones opinion will make me change...

really I've only ever heard of great things from the school, either way they accepted me so I guess I will find out

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone has gone to esa in Sherwood Park, AB for the EMT course. I'm currently registered to take part in the entrance competition in a months time. I would be lying if i said I wasn't nervous for the competition. Its been a year since i wrote my ACP for EMR...

there is an Australian tv show called Recruits - Paramedics where they follow new recruits on the job. pretty good.

This is a comment to a few pages back talking about having pt's from WWII. I had the opportunity when I was working with the RT's in the ED to meet the sweetest lady i have ever met. After my shift one day I went to her room just to check in after she had been admitted, and we ended up...

I will point out that in the newest curriculum and roadmap, "EMT" was removed from the title of paramedic. I strongly suspect that was in an attempt to distinguish paramedics as clinicians. But as we are aware, what is on paper doesn't always match what happens in the real world. here...
