I moved from CA to MD for paramedic school and my BS at UMBC. It was a big change and until I was 20, I knew little but my home in northern CA. It was hard at first, but I needed to make the move to A) get my education, and B) get some perspective and experience elsewehre in the country. I...

I am currently a student in an intermediate program, and it's going quite well. Some days are a** kickers, and some are not as bad. All in all, I love it. Needless to say, I am going to be taking the P bridge and yada yada, but I dont plan on staying here in MD for my career. I am originally...

When a mastectomy is completed, the surgeon typically will go up superiorly into the axillary region and remove some of the lymph nodes in the axial plexus. The lymph system serves as a great defense for infection and health status, although it also tends to be a secondary pathway to spread...

Now while Flight-LP's remark is true, my advice would be find what you enjoyed in the class first and then choose your topic. For example, I really enjoy cardiology, so for my paramedic classes I try to choose cardio related topics so that I can at least find them interesting. As for BLS, maybe...

Off my job, but I am actually considering going down to my vol. house to see what kind of crap goes down tonight....still pondering....

I would say best of luck to you, but I sure dont hope it comes down to luck. It's rough. I am in paramedic school right now as well, at The University of Maryland, Baltimore County. It's a MD state school with a BS program in Emergency Health Services. It's kinda neat because I get my NREMT-P...

Maryland Here in MD we have state wide "protocols." I am from California originally, but I am getting used to it out here. While we have state protocols, we also allow counties to ennact different standing orders and things along those lines. For the most part, many areas the same with only...

I think the new ACLS guidelines are pretty straight forward, not to say the old ones werent. Some people are seemingly having a tougher time transfering into the new algorhythms because they've been using the old ones for so long, but seeing as how I only learned the old ones 2 or so years ago...

Hey all. I am looking to get some new boots mainly because the boots I have now are making my feet ache like a SOB. I need a composite safety toe (steel is good too) and seeing as how I have a size 12.5-13, I am trying to find something not too heavy or at least comfy as I wear em all day and...
