I just make it a point to take a minute to use soft restraints to the hands and arms prior to giving narcan. also you can give it slowly and stop when you get them breathing and alert again.

I think you may be right. I may have to stick to DOT:excl:

no thanks to NR I will not use national registry for FR....I have been a medic for over 20 years and took the NR test and sat in practicals for 10+ hours (and i passed it). The written test in my opinion wasnt a good guide to judge my abilities (i passed it first time).

I am a NREMTP that works at a fire dept.. We train all the personnel as first responders. We currently use Dept Of Transportation as our means of certification. My question is this: what agencies have you heard of that cerficy first responders? any feedback is appreciated
