Btw he was fine on the way back from the party. The primary reason i did an assessment was for practice and it was half assed. If he was in any real danger i would have obviously called 911. I regret posting this but i just wanted to see if there was a connection. Also this is in no way a...

ahahaha i knew id get this reaction. What can i say though, i havnt been trained in this yet.

Well i cant force my friend to vomit. Yeah i know that.

Lol i didnt want to stop him from vomiting. He didnt want to vomit.

Im currently an EMT student about 2/3 done with class and decided to bring my equipment with me to a party to entertain me since i was DD. Unfortunately i didnt have it on me when this happened. Anyways my friend had taken a percocet and had drank some alcohol. He felt nauseous and seemed at...

Turns out my instructors know the people who il be doing the ride alongs with. From what they told me, il be working with some awesome people. Id love it if they gave me the opportunity to treat a patient all on my own. I handle stressful situations very well and take great joy in doing...

Well ive done it a million times on friends/family and in labs but yeah i see what you're saying

Lol well i have to take vitals for the class along with filling out an assessment and PE form. Im pretty dam confident when it comes to skills though. Thanks for the replies. Lol just noticed my last post. I thought i was on my employment thread.

read my post after that please. If you arent going to bother reading all the posts then dont make such a stupid judgement. il put it here so you wont miss it again... "Lol that is with regards to anatomy. And im not arguing the importance of educating yourself, but i believe OP was asking about...

I annoyed them by firing away with question after question lol. Now im in a bigger dilemma with employment because i need to stay in the bay area for spring semester for Nursing pre reqs and possibly even longer if i dont get a move organized. Il have to apply to a different area early in the...

Im not. I just started watching some ER documentaries and nursing became pretty dam cool to me lol. I set up my class schedule for the next 2 years in a way that i can choose paramedic even if i decide last minute. So we'll see

Im considering going straight into nursing to become a CEN at this point. It would only take 1 year longer to make 3x the pay lol. And im in a rush because im excited about working

Well ive done a good job at annoying every EMT/medic i happen to come across. Now theyre gonna be stuck in a van with me for 8 hours lol. Be confident gotcha. thanks for the replies

Ugh looks like i have to wait till fall 2014. Need to take anatomy physiology for the class. I also need to complete a math class. On top of this 6 months full time emt work. I dont think i can do that in the 7 months id have after becoming a registered emt. dam. gotta wait 19 months...

Im aware of that but the school i want to get into is competitive and 6months in the field is required. I will definately apply to the next opening once i have completed my 6 months full time but i feel i should prepare myself for an extended stay just in case. Actually what i think il do is...

Lol that is with regards to anatomy. And im not arguing the importance of educating yourself, but i believe OP was asking about testing in the class. Im taking anatomy and physiology next semester not because its needed for class but it is important.

because most of what you are assessing is basic knowledge or at least should be anyways. What im trying to say is that 50 pages of anatomy is not needed but useful. You could easily fit all you need to know into a page maybe even half a page. Also it isnt learned all at once so there is no...

I have my ride along next week and my er shift 10 days after. What questions would u recommend asking? Also anything in particular i should pay extra close attention to? I already have my list based on what ive learned in class but im assuming theres plenty to learn in the field that isnt...

anatomy isnt that important for EMT-b. Im about 2/3 done with my class. Just know anterior postier ect ect when it comes to testing. I would pay much closer attention to assessment and care than anatomy. But then again each school is different so do what ever you feel most comfortable with.

AMR would be nice. All my instructors have worked with AMR. I only asked them about employment in the bay area which ended with a "no chance". Il have to ask about the rural metro area. Worse comes to worst, il get a job as an event EMT. Thats what one of my instructors recommended as he...
