1st time - didn't pass the ACLS practicum exam 2nd time - ejected for failing to mesh and be professionaLwith the people hosting the clinical portion of the course, rather a long story actually. Any advice?

Thanks for reading! I am an EMT-I 85, certified in Georgia and National Registry, good until 2013. I've renewed once. Just moved to North Carolina. 85s DO NOT get to be EMT-I here, just 99s. NC says applying for reciprocity will result in only EMT-B...worthless! So, I've had no luck...

Hi, I'm taking ACLS at the hospital. I'm in PM school too, which has ACLS in mid-March. I'm getting a jump on it. I have searched for videos and mp3's related to ACLS or Paramedic-oriented Cardiology. Can anyone throw out a few links (free) to vids/mp3z in this vein? I'll let you know if I've...

Great discussion so far! Hi, I'm taking ACLS at the hospital. I'm in PM school too, which has ACLS in mid-March. I'm getting a jump on it. I have searched for videos and mp3's related to ACLS or Paramedic-oriented Cardiology. Can anyone throw out a few links (free) to vids/mp3z in this vein...

I've never tried one. I've seen cab drivers use those wooden ball-on-strong covers. I'm on a BLS non-emergent medical trans van/truck for 10-15 hours. Okay I'm wondering, since I start Paramedic class tomorrow and need to go straight to class from work, if a seat cover might be the little...

I didn't stop to think about shoddy supplies. Its made by Ozark Trail but has the "Marketed by WM" stamp on the liner notes. As for first aid only duty, I getcha. Still, I'm covered by Good Samaritan to help administer beta agonist MDIs and epipen per EMT-I training, perhaps other...

I'm participating in a kids camp, easily within range of local EMS. Its on a 7-acre tract, all woodsy like :P I bought a Walmart Outdoor First Aid Kit: 50 adhesive bandages (various size,type) 1 adhesive tape roll .5in x 5yds 10 cotton tip applicators 4 finger splints 1 first aid guide...

Thanks. I'm planning to do just that. Going to a social function late Sunday afternoon and plan to rest up. I just phoned a classmate who is testing Tuesday and he's spending the day doing ER clinical. Another classmate, who is retired!, has purchased access to the various study-guide...

Georgia may have differences with state requirements, I'm not the expert on this issue. I think my asking has brought to the surface an issue that was dealt with in class at a fairly insignificant level (what is B vs I). I appreciate the input. If I recall, no one opted to test out at the...

Well I had the feeling while studying this EMT-B review manual that some answers would be different if the question were posed to an EMT-I rather than to the EMT-B. If I recall, the only major difference for I's was IV therapy. I did go through the class, but there wasn't a clearly...

I'm taking the NREMT-I85 Monday. I've been using some EMT-B review manuals like the AAOS by Stephen J. Rahm...heard good recommendations and its the same company that made our course text. Taking the practice tests, I need any helpful clarification regarding which points in the B material...

Swimming burns best With a caveat: You've got to use a timing system. I find it easier to "take it easy" while swimming. Its just so relaxing. For my experience, I have found that my breathing improves relative to cardio-type exercises, when swimming. It improves relative to...

That is too bad.

I'm surprised as many still DO go in. Its harder this year than the year before, and every year's the same!

I appreciate all the Bs and since I have passed through it I plan to join First Responders here in Georgia asahp. (Yes I am human, I need to fritter and waste the hours in off hand ways).

I'm a lifeguard and agree with the swimming bits.. Easy to say but I'd love to try marathon running.

I just came down with a drat-dunk cold. My I85 final is in 9 days!

Hi! Looks like quite the active forum. Now I know why EMTLife's slogan says #1. Here's to a great future!

Admirable use of a new platform designed for its breadth of attention.

I have never considered suicide, seriously.
