Jesus Christ. It's my opinion. I understand what you are saying. I am not illiterate. I'm not throwing shade at you or your opinion. I'm tired of explaining myself at this point. Apparently you can't comprehend I am agreeing with you. I've been agreeing with you since your second post. Nobody...

I know an EMT text book does not cover every little detail of Anatomy, Cardiology, Pathophysiology, Respiratory emergencies and etc. I found ease in the textbook probably because I was already in the medical field for a while. Some people struggled while some people flew by with flying colors. I...

1) I know the difference of CISD and management. Obviously CISD is trained mental health staff. I don't know how much you make, but some people don't have the funds for a personal therapist/doctor/counselor or even have time for one. People have bills to pay, kids to feed, or whatever going on...

I have noticed CISD is not implemented at ALL companies. I would hope there will come a time when all companies around the nation will have a CISD unit. Yeah sure you can talk to management, but how much can they really help you? I know a few companies that are paying for their employees to...

Thanks. I know even my mom was confused with her being a RN for the past 10 years. She was the one who asked what he meant and she kind of wasn't trying to flip out on the guy. He refused to even listen to her when she said to put me on oxygen & to use the traction splint. I honestly hope those...

I agree with more MCI training drills. I would hope that more companies will implement of growth of their employees by paying for us to continue to further our education in the field. Meaning pay for us to go back to college to advance our degrees in the medical field. I would also love to see...

I'm going to point something out to all of you. Maybe it's because I am optimistic too much or I once was in the patient's shoes at a time in my life. APPEARANCE has nothing to do with character, professionalism, or integrity. I had two lovely nicely groomed, NON TATTOOED baboons transport me to...

I understand your pain. Check to see if your local hospitals will let you be an ER tech. I know in New York you have to have a phlebotomy cert to be a tech in the ER. It sucks, but oh well. In the meantime you could volunteer on rigs and gain experience. Trust me it will make your life somewhat...

Sorry i'm late, but yeah it was like civilian CPR. What scared me was when we were doing CPR practicals back in September my instructor started yelling at us when we would introduce ourselves as EMT'S. He was like you haven't learned CPR as an EMT yet. That kind of stuck with me like what did he...

I watched the night class 6-9 go in with 60 students and only 12 passed state board. Ask questions. Don't be arrogant. READ THE TEXTBOOK! I almost failed CPR cause one of the instructors showed us "His" way of CPR. We had to follow the Red Crosses Guidelines word for word. When you go for...

That's really messed up. People shared personal stories with you to take a freakin' poll. Maybe you're really embarrassed about people bashing you or you really are a big time jerk. It already got out of hand when you created this post knowingly lying to people.

Maybe that person is Anti-EMS lol! If they didn't want to listen, then let them be ignorant. I believe everybody should always be willing to educate themselves on things they may be misinformed about.

I will first say, "Congratulations on your weight loss achievement"! I just completed my EMT course and there were a ton of smart-alics and jerks. I learned people jump to conclusions all the time. What happened was not your fault. Maybe you should check the inside on the shirts the people give...

Hello Everyone, I am going to start off and admit I am quite nervous. I have Medical, Trauma, Bleeding Control/ Shock, Splinting, BVM w/ pulse and Supplemental Oxygen down pat! I just don't understand how CPR/ AED goes as an EMT during practicals. Here are my questions 1) When the practical...

So did you pass? I hope you did :)
