I am a vegetarian, been for about a decade now. It's very important to get your protein, and if you're vegan, you're probably going to need a special supplement to get some micronutrients you're not going to come by any other way.
Vegetarianism isn't just cardboard patties and pop tarts - the...

Well, six months into the year - how are these new year's resolutions going? I'm healthier but haven't gained much weight, though I'd like to think I have some good excuses.
How about those trying to lose?
I think google results are sorted by how many other sites link to them. Maybe everybody can put a link to emtlife on their blog/personal website/public myspace-facebook-blahblahblah page?
That's the "honest" method, anyway.
Get access to the JBcourse site. Your instructor might be able to do it for you through the school. The practice quizzes and additional content is GREAT.
Practice tests/quizzes are AWESOME. Know where you're weak and focus on those areas. Do the worksheets and review them (and make sure...
Doing pretty ok. I'm acing the written tests, I can fill in bubbles like nobody's business, but the practical lab exercises are tough (but very enlightening).
Stay on top of the reading and get as much patient contact as you can. I've got two ER clinicals this week, I'm psyched.
If you have the prereq, which is the first responder course (with HCP BLS) and all your shots, it's a matter of jumping though the hoops: get the doc to sign off on your shots and turn the form in on time.
If not, you're probably gonna have to take the First Responder course first.
Yogakat, I'm taking the EMT-B training at FCCJ right now (my class started in January) and if you're doing it at North Campus (as opposed to the Nassau Center) you'll probably have the same instructors I have.
I just took the lecture midterm, the practical midterm, and the lab midterm and...
I had my first ED clinical last night, I have to have 25 hours of ED as part of the EMT-B class I'm taking with the community college.
I assisted with a spinal tap, watched triage of a Baker Act patient that smelled like bleach, watched the ER staff take radiographs of a patient whose...
Thanks for the tip, the reviews make it look pretty promising!
Arrg, neither of library systems in the adjacent counties have it... I'm going to try to have them order it for me.
I need to gain weight, I'm tall for my 165lb - but I've got to stand for 8 hours at work (can't study at work) and read two or three hours at night, so I don't get to move around much between classes and real life.
Have you seen this? I'm going to try it again if I can condition myself to...
So I gotta have ten posts before I can chat and whatever else... this seems like a good enough place to start.
I started looking into the EMS field after a couple firefighter friends told me it might be something I could do well. I said 'what the hell' and just finished first responder...
Computer and motorcycle repair, writing, and just generally goofing around on the internet.
I'm into taking stuff apart and then putting it back together. (Then riding it to work, if I can!)
