I am still looking at the GWU but at $400 + a credit I am trying to find out how to make it work.:sad:

Are any of these distance learning???

We are currently involved in thee beginning phases of the process and are scheduled to have our vote next month. So far they have been very patient with us. I know management is not very pleased as this was a large surprise but we are in a position where we need some help and support. I will...

I just returned from a very insightful FEMA course in Alabama and it appears there is going to be more of a shift towards emergency preparedness and hospitals and the like will need to comply to the federal regs to continue receiving their funding. I expect to see more and more of these...

I am looking into a career in EMS management and Emergency Preparedness and I think this is one of the better ways to go.

I looked and was unable to find this. Can you provide a link?

I am running short on time right now and the searches I have run are not telling me what I want know. I would like to know what is out there for EMS management degrees but only distance learning. I am aware of GWU's degree but at $27000 that is a lot of coin. Anyone else familiar with any...

Anybody???

I will be in the area for work and was looking for some info in case I get some free time.

Jon - Does the LP 1000 have just fast patches or does it have standard leads as well? Is there a printer on it and will it pace if need be? The defib is the most important part, I am just looking for more options. I looked it up the other day but didn't get a lot of time to really read up on...

Congrats on your success. Although I do not kow what it is like to lose a child I have been through 3 losses in this profession (2 medics and 1 police officer). All three tragic deaths and all three in my mind everyday. These were friends and coworkers and in a way family as I am sure you all...

Right now we are thinking ALS because that is who is interested and all levels of care can then be initiated without delay. I would like to find out what monitor ALS bike teams use. We need something rugged with functions beyond an AED. Thanks Jon for the tip...

This is similar to my train of thought and just a case I had to explain when delivering a pt to the ED with CPAP and no neb with a rate verying between 140 160 st - ectopy, but mild st elevation that was progressing to 6-7mm eventually throughout the 8 minute transport. With the CPAP there was...

We carry both as well and were instructed that fentanyl is indeed a better choice for traumatic injuries. I have used both and have mixed results. I like the fentanyl due to many of the above mentioned reasons but one drug does not work on all pts as some of you stated with ms. i believe this...

I guess that last statement was a little redundant.;) Any one else have any input on this???

Yes in Great Falls. We were thinking of public events. Possibilities could include the Ice Breaker, State Fair, Parades, 4th of July and things of this nature. It would be a great pr and a way to visit with the community and let them know we are active in it. We would only need two bikes...

I am investigating what all would be needed to assemble a two person ALS/BLS bike team for our company. I would appreciate any info any of you could provide. I need to know it all: What bikes? What packs? What ALS/BLS supplies and how much of each do you carry? How do you divide...

I had a police officer with a broken ankle the other night after an altercation during an arrest and rated his pain at a 9/10 and after 100mcg of fentanyl and 5 mg of valium he was still at a 7/10. The ED gave 5mg more of valium and then 5 mg of ms. Some people just have a higher tolerance for...

Today was kids safety day sponsored by Wal-Mart and we chose to do Halloween safety so instead of uniforms we showed up in costumes. All in all it was a good day. The kids really liked "looking and listening" to their hearts at the same time. We hooked the kids up to the Lifepack 12 and then...
