I wouldn't say that it was an ear infection if VS are WNL...unless there is an atypical presentation elsewhere. I would learn towards vertigo just because of the family hx. Possibly look into Meniere's disease.

I am not an EMT...yet. I am taking my course this summer though. I've been trying to figure out how all the recertification **** works. I know that there has to be continuing education hours completed, skill competencies, and be actively working. First off, I plan to let my NREMT lapse and...

Haha, that's the way it should have been after taking an exam like that :D

Oh wow, 14 hours! There would be no way for that to fit into my schedule haha. I appreciate that you had the integrity to get done what you had to do. Thank you.

Hello all. I am a 3rd year nursing student. I am looking to take my school's EMT class this summer. I know there are two parts to the exam, cognitive and psychomotor, but the psychomotor portion is what is freaking me out a little bit. Is it all that hard, or have I just been lied to? Are...
