Thanks. Do you think I should look into EKG certs myself or will the hospital want me to go through the hospital sponsored ones.

:rofl: Fair point. But being paid 8.50 is not an option. Got any more advice? or you just here to depress me?:glare:

I got accepted to UCI and I am going to move close to campus. I am looking for a EMT-B job to pay for it. What I am asking you is to recommend a high paying EMT job. My focus at this point is the pay and not much less at this point. - EMT-B cert in San Diego. - In June I will get 1 year...

Yeah, same here. A friend of a friends told me about.

Ok thanks. A period probably would have helped.

What? I am confused.:wacko:

It was explained to me that it needs to face septum. It was meant to avoid the collection of nasal mucus and such. I had to use the NPA a few times. Twice it was in such a stressful situation that I didn't even look at the nose. I just shoved it in. Patient was fine, no bleeding. if you choose...

Are you showing off to the other kids? My hobbies are Judo, surfing, and the occasional rock climbing.

The type of question you are SURE to get are the type when you need to to identify what needs to be done first. for example, you arrive on scene. What do you do first. 1) BSI 2) Inform dispatch 3) Make sure the scene is safe 4)general Impression. Learn EVERYTHING. I had a lot of neonate...

Well this call would be a waste of time for an ALS unit. If patient is A&Ox2 but is able to understand the risk with no spinal precautions then I would as Pt to sign. It is similar to an AMA. If they understand what is going on and is coherent enough to talk to you about the situation than...

MD or RN if I can select something from medicine. Non-medicine related probably would be a Chem or Bio teacher at high school level (I guess I have a pull toward bad paying job.)

Again, not my supervisor. Thank you though. I dont see a reason for fraud. The email said that in case pt refuses then to write it down.

Thank you everybody. I will just send him a link to this thread so he will see the opinion of more experienced EMT. It is a San Diego based company. No specific protocol on Oxygen administration. During my schooling, if you didn't administer O2 WHEN INDICATED then you failed the entire...

Thank you Medic Tim. I did inform him (yes it is somebody else, not a "my friend has a problem with..." situation) that an assessment is needed to administer anything. I was aiming more toward the: How do you handle a supervisor that decided to push O2 "for comfort." I assume it is meant to...

So a buddy of mine that works for a private forwarded me this email that he received from his supervisor (FYI small company mainly dialysis call) : I am have a pretty clear idea of how most of you will react, but the thing is what advice should I give him as far as handling this situation...
