UCLA school for prehospital care has a great course, intensive and covers alot of stuff but still very indepth. I would start there but then I'm bias.

Ok, i ragged on one of my lecturers so in the spirit of fairness, I'll add my two cents to this too. Lateness bugs me, do you think the patients will be ok with you being 10-15 minutes late. Get a watch. I can't stand when fellow students interupt the class with stupid questions because they...

I found the majority of my instructors to be top-notch. They had great interpersonal skills as well as being great teachers. If you had a question and they didn't know the correct answer (no-ones perfect right?) instead of making something up to look smart, they would go look it up or double...

64 passed but I was sure I had screwed up the test. Seemed to be REALLY hard even though I studied hard and knew my stuff back to front.

Hi, This is my first new thread,I'm sorry if its rubbish, here goes.:) This is a situation that happened last night involving a friend who has just become a EMT (been working a couple of months). We were at a bar with some friends when one of the girls near by accidently broke a glass and cut...

That sounds great! It looks like your career is really taking off!! Good luck:)

In class we use the Brady prehospital care 8th editon book and I find the vango audio note that you can get to go with the book very helpful. $20 well spent.

Tough books. EMSlaw's not kidding! I worked for a company last year (not EMS related) who used tough-books and I swear we managed to do everything to those things, bar playing hand-granade tennis, and they never got serious damage!! However accidently dropping one out of the back of a truck...

Having just come out of a career where 16-20 hour days, 5-6 days a week is the norm, I figured that i just was working hard enough for the tiny pay check i was reciveing!! So i looked around and found a even more insane job that might only be suitable for the functional mentally ill*...

I took my test on thursday last week, I found it to be pretty straight forward. But make sure you go through the book carefully because i almost got tripped up by a couple of things. For example, whether or not it's ok to take equiptment out of the rig to transport an infant and how much O2 you...

We are using the prehospital care 8th edition too. I'm also using the vango audio notes for the book too, it's well worth the $20 for the reviews and quizes .

I'm originally from London, England. I moved down here from Canada about 9 months ago to marry my wife, Anna. We currently live in Tarzana.
