Psychology is right. You will need very little knowledge to pass the class. BUT once you will hit the field you will find nurses, doctors, and medic using the proper terminology :wacko:. Think ahead. You will NEVER learn something useless.

Thank you. I will make a note of all that was said. ^_^ I was worried pt might become unstable en route and having to do cpr by myself in the back of a moving rig would be hard. A little note: I work in San Diego and the hospital near by was sharp memorial and the 15 min away was scripps mercy...

Ok I work at a private BLS contracted to SNF. We get an ER call for high fever. AOS TFA 84 y/o F. RN tell us that patient's base line is confused with very little verbal response. Pt appears to be sleeping. We tried yelling at her to wake her up but it didnt work. Pt is full code (no DNR)...

I will say from personal experience now that Xtreme Care is a decent company. You get to work with a full range of personalities. Good BLS start. Fairly new company so they are hiring.

When you wash the whole box because somebody sneezed on it. You put on two pairs of gloves because it is better.

Xtreme Care So is Xtreme Care good or bad? So far I have heard it both ways. I have an interview this week. Heard there is a 12 question quiz multiple choice.
