So they have two agencies, one that is entirely town funded, and one just provides staffing, equipment and fund raising, all working on the same ambulances. OK, that's makes some sense... they have 1 ambulances staffed by municipal employees, and two reserves. Compare that to the 4 engines and...

How many volunteer cops does westport have? not specials or aux, regular patrol officers who are doing this on a volunteer basis? how many volunteer firefighters does Westport have? They staff 4 fire stations, with 4 engines and a ladder, all staffed 24/7.... Here's the problem I see: The...

Don't tell that to a CNA... many will say they do the same thing as an RN for a much lower payrate.

last fit test was before... so it's more of a question about next time. And as for why 5... if 1 shot is good, 5 must be really really good. Yes, we actually use N95s. not exactly the same mask, but the same size, make and model. The spray test (as in the picture) has been used by my...

No, I don't want medical advice, yes, I've gotten my 5th booster, and my n95 is glued to my face, however, I am experiencing a common symptom: I can't seem to smell anything. Wife complained that the cat's litter box smelled, and I didn't even notice Not that it bothers me much, but I do have...

Wow... As someone who went to EMT class in high school in the 90s, and has taught EMT classes that are two nights a week with the occasional Saturday, as well as someone who is taking a non-EMS class at the local CC Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 to 930pm next month, while working full time, and...

you think it's bad in EMS, just imagine how bad it is in the FD ;) I think a bigger area for concerns is actually in auscultations of BPs; will the values be the same when using a Littman cardiology 3 scope vs a disposable fischer price one? What about a 20 year old provider who has decent...

the majority of the time they only hire locals for events. if they travel for an event, they will typically take full timers and bring them along. they rarely pay for travel, unless you are full-time with them; housing is often down on the cheap as well, if they provide it at all. however...

I know several people who worked EMS and then got jobs as the onsite medical rep. it's mostly paperwork, but pays better than EMS.

never done it... doubt I ever would.

Lets be honest: every profession has bad apples. This individual does not reflect the majority. I'm more curious why he is being held without bail, when accused murderers in California are often released before the paperwork is completed.

Why not? they don't want to go to the hospital, and are refusing care. pull over, and open the door, if that is their wish (that's what the supervisor told me to do). Just ensure you have everything documentation on your run book. People have a right to make stupid decision regarding their...

If you think that's bad, try driving from the scene to the hospital with the parking brake on. no one will see it, but they will know from the smell

With NREMT, there is a clear delineation between testing and evaluating if a student has mastered the material, and between preparing and assisting the student in passing the exams. Even in the practical exams, I've been told that students are only supposed to get a pass or fail grade, and are...

I think you are the only one.... Other than the instagram users who had accounts automatically be created for them, and will never use it.

The good news is, you are already doing the best advice anyone can give you

You were the one who said so I'm not sure why you are confused, because it was a direct response to what you said. As per their EMS Director: There is a difference between UNITS and AMBULANCES. a unit is a staffed vehicle, with all of the equipment needed to respond to a 911 call. These are...
