Ok, Im kind of lost with what to say. Ill tell you this though, everyone has a bad call, I have had calls that still think about all the time. Its how you deal with them. I dont really know what a AEMT is. Im guessing ALS? But I can tell you that you did legaly abandin your patient, and I...

Im not sure what you mean by "bootcamp". However Im going thru a similar process right now. Im a NREMT-I85 Im also stationed in Virginia with the Navy. I hate to break it to you but other then the physical skill your military training is not going to do you any good unless your a 68w or a...

It sais Im a medic student because up until April I was in a paramedic program. I got about 3 Months into it and realised I probably should have more then a year and a half of field expiernce, and I dont use this website enough to get a chance to update it.

This past April I enlisted as an Aerospace medical apprentice in the Air Force. My ship date isn’t until Sept. of this year. I’m not sure if it’s cold feet or what. I’m double thinking if the medical apprentice is the best job for an aspiring paramedic? I know I’m not ready for paramedic school...

yes. they where related. yes they technically where "walking wounded" and yes I did manage to do two PCR's. on the call. It just looked obsene..when instead of right. "ems secured pt x4 straps and side bars secured" I had to put "pt was secured using long board/collar. pt then secured in...

I know that most of us have had to do it. Tech two pt's in the back of one ambulance. Ive always been the one to tell the truth on PCR's. With that said. is it technically illigal to say you teched two pt's? one pt clearly was in the stretcher the other boarded. and secured to the bench seat...

In the twenty years that he(she?) would be inlisted for where as ER Dr's only have schooling for ten years. Personally I realisticaly thought about it. But I'm already in paramedic school. I'd feel as if i was dropping out of it. if i where to join the military. not to mention its a 5 year min...

I treated the PT fine. Im not going into full detail of the call. We've all seen the person getting arrested thinking if they fake sick they will get out. That was the point.

I've got two of them. 2am in the morning. A drunk 18 year old getting arrested for a DWI, on the top of her lungs screaming "I can't breathe" my reply "ma'am its 2am in the morning and your O2 level is fine(at 98%), If you insist you cannot breathe atleast weaze or something to make it...

I am a civilian firefighter.... fire uno and fire dos NH fire academy

sarah is right, Not unless you have 18(or maybe 20?) college credits. I talked to the recruiter yesterday like I said they do not really care that much about civilian certs. Not like it would do me any good Ill be entering as a E-2 anyone YAY for Eagle scouts!! lmaoB)

No it doesnt, exspecially because paramedic programs are becoming one in a million, two just closed here in New England specificaly Mass. Good luck with both your civialin and Military career. Im entering the Military soon, If you have any questions I may be able to help.

Im not sure if having pins in your ancle will let you in the army, check with your recruiter the corpsman is a more medic based job, yourll be working with a marine unit most likely. the airforce is a great oppertunity that the way Im heading assuming they give me the job. they dont do as much...
