Hey, I'm starting paramedic classes this fall and our instructor highly recomends a cardiology stethoscope. I recieved some financial assistance for the classes and uniform so I have a little extra to spend on a good stehoscope. Any recomendations?
Ive caried a flashlight with me since i started. Its very useful in cramped apartments, lighting up house numbers when on scene, inside wrecked vehicles to look for victims and ive been to quite a few poorly lit trailer parks where you want as much visibility as possible.
I would definitely not mind getting IV experience but our program doesn't train IV's until intermediate and I worry that a hospital will not want to waste time training a basic to do something like that when they can just hire someone already trained.
I recently got my basic certification and I can't find anyone to hire me. They all say the same thing, that I need to be 21 years old to be insured and they won't hire me until then. I'm only 19 years old and this is all I've wanted to do since I was 13. I really don't want to work in a hospital...
