True, most EMS job postings that want a degree are happy with any degree, but that is not to say that you might not have a better shot at them with a more relevant degree. I think that my BS in Paramedicine helped to at least make my resume stand out a bit more to help me get positions in...

What length are articles typically? Do you happen to have a link to author/submission guidelines for formatting and that type of thing? Thanks!

That will really depend on which EMS service you are with. At some, people will give it just because they can somewhat justify it. At others, unless you're on a long distance transfer or doing some pretty good vomiting you won't be likely to get it. Where are you riding out?

Dispatching is one thing, front line EMS is another. If you can't do the job, you can't do the job. Can everyone who talks about someone with only one arm "adapting and overcoming" please explain how they do the job as well as a provider with two arms on the various tasks that have been...

This is a lot to plan if you want to do it well. I've got a few thoughts/tips: - Make the scenario at least plausible (if not realistic). Huge MCIs don't happen every day in your community, but you want it to be something somewhat believable in terms of numbers of patients and their injuries...

I just don't see how you can do the job with only one arm... it is hard enough to do the job well with two! Others have already mentioned CPR and BVM, lifting is also going to be a critical issue. Also, driving will likely need two hands so you can remain in control of the ambulance (with one...

I've been as well also with a non-religious group. Be careful, but don't let concerns over safety prevent you from getting to know the Haitians. They are amazing people!

I agree with the other posters on their suggestions, but if you're still stuck it may be worth calling Ferno (http://www.ferno.com/), Stryker (http://www.ems.stryker.com/equipment.jsp?id=1), or whoever supplies most of the stretchers in your area. I'm not familiar with your town/city and how...

Isn't there at least some evidence that supports glucagon for beta blocker overdose? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6144498 It doesn't seem like many people in Australia are familiar with this use, but I heard about it previously from physicians in both Canada and the US.

Any update on this?

Even a private college should have an appeals process if they are a real educational institution. I would encourage you to find it quickly since as I mentioned the timelines are critical. Even with you being right, if you miss the deadline to formally appeal you will not have a leg to stand on...

What college is this? I'm sorry to get in on this late (I don't think there has been a lot of Ontario input), but DO NOT contact the base hospital. You can read the directives as well as anyone and you know that this patient does not fit the FBAO cardiac arrest directive since there was no...

I don't think that Boston Med was intended on being anything more than an 8 part series.
