Currently I run on our FD-based 911 ambulance in town, and it's a small town and even smaller staff so while I am on shift with different people on a rotating basis everyone knows everyone...no one set partner but everyone works well together because they each know how the others work...if that...
I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find this on my own but can't seem to. As MA is in the process of transitioning (through coursework) EMT-I to EMT-A national standard I am not sure if advanced training is on hold or just hiding from me :-)
Anyone have any idea on where there might be...
More for the other women out there, but one of you guys might have a good suggestion for me as well.
I'm going to preface this with the fact that I do not carry a purse, I never really have. I have a wallet that is a BIG wallet...rectangular, bunch of pockets, all that jazz. So the obvious...
I just made my appointment to take my exam. I'm going next Wednesday.
I took my class final yesterday and finished the class with a 96 average. Been studying test prep materials for the national test since about the half way mark. I have felt a healthy amount of confident throughout-now I'm...
Ill be taking the NREMT in a few weeks. I have been working through a number of test prep materials and am consistently scoring in the 90-92% range of questions answered correctly. When I go back and review what I got wrong it is almost exclusively errors of me reading the questions too quickly...
Maybe more appropriate in health and whatever, so if this gets moved that's ok, but I guess I'm looking it as more of n educational topic right now. As I begin to evaluate different places that I plan to apply, I've been having some good conversations with folks in the area. Today I was talking...
I was just browsing the NREMT site looking at the statistics for first time pass rates at the basic level.
I live in MA..we are rock-bottom of the barrel with a whopping 52%. I noticed that a couple states (Hawaii, Wyoming...I'm sure I missed others) had near complete passes on the first...
There is really no mention of it in my book, and my instructor seems to use them interchangeably which I see as a problem because if you are using recollection of recent events as criteria and the patient is NOT alert to that you would then have to document a ACOx3...which could be misleading...
Looking for this for my husband, actually. We would prefer not to spend $50 on it if possible, o if someone is willing to sell a version they are no longer using would be appreciated!!
I have over 10 posts but it still won't let me. I'd really like to post an ISO that I am looking for to help with my test prep. Can someone unlock me? Thanks!
I have noticed a few people on here say that they feel that fire and EMS should not be mixed, in terms of being a ff and an EMT/P. I'm curious as to why. Or if you think they are a great mix, I'd like to know why you feel that way as well.
I was thinking of joining our FD and doing the state FF...
Here in MA I have found several Paramedic programs, and one of them (out of 7 or 8) says that you need to be a working EMT for one year before you can begin the program. The others have no time line requirement, simply that you must be a certified EMT-B before the start of the training (with the...
