    HEMS providers working in ED/Hospital

    I'll go ahead and disagree with the "oh they are just gonna take advantage of you and not appreciate you" BS. On 12 hour bases, it is completely reasonable to be expected to work the entire 12 doing whatever your employer calls on your to do within your skillset if you are not doing your...

    Accepted to RN bridge!

    Med surg 2 should mean you have a lot more nursing and patho under your belt. We were supposed to have 2 patients at the end of MS1. 3-4 patients at the end of MS2 depending on acuity, plus one shift in ED or ICU, whichever you didn't do in MS1, which was mostly to be skills and obs. Each...

    Accepted to RN bridge!

    While I hate nursing theory and academic fluff, and I do not think some nurses need to have x years of MS. AK I understand the sentiment but you are missing the forest for the trees if you think the nursing programs should be geared at graduating specialists. If you want to find a specialized...

    When I instructed I switched us to HSA from AHA because they were cheaper and offered autonomy. Dunno about today.

    IDF Elite Unit 669 Rescues Wounded Soldiers From Inside Gaza

    Hamas just sent some civilians to the front entrance to stand while Hamas brought forth 2 RPG crews to fire from behind the civilians at IDF positions. From the front doors of the hospital. And the neonates did nothing wrong. But does the blame lie with Hamas for preparing the battlefield so...

    AEMT's, good Idea or Bad idea.

    The point to be careful is having the rural staffing mantra: "well we can do with less medics now that we have some AEMTs"

    AEMT's, good Idea or Bad idea.

    AEMT should not be the highest level of care in a community. AEMT should probably be the lowest level of care on an ambulance. AEMT is so NOT "medic light" any more than EMT is "medic light." EMT-I-99 was "medic light (on education)"

    Seeking Recommendations for Temperature-Controlled Medication Storage in Ambulance Services

    Hallo! Do you leave your ambulances idling and/or have them plugged into power when off? Usually you can either have a cabinet that contains medication pouches (or the whole bag) that is temperature controlled by a peltier (thermoelectric) unit wired into the main bus. I've also seen heater...

    COVID VACCINE - The Megathread

    If nearly all people are vaccinated, and the vaccine is not 100% at preventing infection, them most cases will be in the vaccinated. This is true whether it is measles outbreaks at Disney or COVID at a CDC conference. The measles vaccine is very effective at preventing infection, but not 100%...

    Matt Walsh wrecks this dude who claims to be an EMT

    Intersex is very rare. Intersex prevalence is a small fraction of a percent, it might generously round up to 0.1% aggregating all the different disorders and abnormalities that get grouped under Intersex (phenotype unclassifiable or not matching genotype) but it is probably closer to 0.01% than...
