I disagree. Its not a personal issue. The man screwed up and did illegal drugs while working. Is that to be commended by being shrouded in secrecy? It's his own fault and furthermore yes the employer may be angry for having this information "leaked" out, but once again the decision to do...

I got interested in ems when I was a raft guide where bandaging people up became almost a daily task on the Chattooga. Took my emt b class, finally found a job and now i cant wait for my emt-i class to start.

Try not to over think the question. I failed my first attempt for this exact reason. Just relax and think of the basics.

My first call was within 2 minutes of arrival on my first day, I had just gotten out of my car when the medic started waving me down. Jumped in and off we went. It was a 28yoM obviously on some sort of drugs and had a huge laceration to the top of his head. After bandaging him up and taking...

I played wow for a year and a half and can honestly say it almost ruined my life because I was in college when my addiction hit full bloom. It's a simple game really. A model of a fictional life with instant success and a feeling of accomplishment. What helped me realize my issue was that you...

I recently passed the nremt on my second shot at it and am now "coaching" a couple others on their third attempt. It can be a difficult test and you never take the same test twice. The best thing that helped me was relationships and knowing what v/s were good and which ones were bad (dont...

Thanks for the great advice!:P I have already passed the NREMT...so i guess my next step is to go through the repricocity process. Thanks again...you all have been very helpful
