When working for Care do they start you off immediately with 911 calls or with IFT calls and then move you up the ladder? I am applying, and just wanted to know how it works with them, and or McCormick.
Besides O2, glucose, charcoal, nitro, and epi. What other medications should an EMT-B know. For example; Haldol, Zofran, Coreg, whats other medications should we know about.
I have my first 911 shift coming up, I'm nervous, because my skills are rusty, and I've never driven code 3. Does anyone have any advice, or experience they would like to share?
The FD in my city is looking for AOs. And i plan on applying, but how does it work? Can it be dual EMTs or 1:1 emt and medic? I work for an ambulance company at the moment so I'm used to IFTs, 911, and paperwork. Any help or advice is appreciated thank you!
