Ah I see. Thank ya! All I knew was that they would need an IV as well cause this guy was still going crazy after two nasal doses

Oops, the only thing I've ever seen given using nasal spray, IM, and IV is Narcan so I assumed it had multiple purposes not only for heroin OD's. This guy was probably PCP, so what did the medics give him? Again, I'm new :)

We aren't partnered up with medics, we only see them when they're absolutely needed, so it makes it a little harder to know what they expect/need! Thanks everyone! It was also a really hectic call, drugged out guy running around on the highway and about 15 state troopers plus 2 engines on...

I work for a private BLS company and was never formally taught how to spike a bag. I'm also extremely new so I was wondering if medics expect us to do it for them? I was on a call where, in hindsight, I probably should have but was never asked/wouldn't have really known how even if I had been...

Kinda long but thought this might help anyone who's struggling! I took the NREMT for the first time back in early March, about two weeks after I finished my EMT course. I'm a senior in college so I really slacked on the studying part, completely bombed the test at 127 questions, and didn't pass...

LOL yes, it's right by my house and would be an easy summer gig. But yeah that's what I thought, and was told that they don't have a medical director so it's a 99% no on the cert. I'm hoping to get a job with either Olympic or Tri-Med but was going to try and fall back on this/do it part time

So I was just wondering if you could get your state certification without working at an actual ambulance company? I want to apply to a water park in Washington as an EMT but am worried that this wouldn't be valid for getting my WA state certification. But the requirement is to already have your...

Sorry this is a couple years late but if you were to work with Wild Waves would that count as a sponsorship for getting your WA cert? Or does it have to be an ambulance company? Also, Veigar how is/was your time with tri-med? Read one of your other posts and I might have an interview with them...

Thanks everyone! I really like Olympic so far because they've been the only company to personally call me and explain the entire process of satisfying national, state, and county requirements. Falck has an opening in Seattle but I don't know if I should wait until after I pass the NREMT to apply...

Hey guys I just finished up my EMT-B course at WSU and have a tentative interview with Olympic over spring break (as long as I pass the NREMT) I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with them? Or any other companies I should apply to :) I had a call from Rural Metro but they wanted me to...
