Thanks for the replied. I guess the only way to this is to keep practice and more patient contact.

Hi Everyone, I had recently got hired and I need some help from you guys and ladies. I am having trouble palpating the radial pulse on the patient in the back of the rig while it is moving. I have no problem locating it, but it is very hard to count the pulse while the rig is going over pot...

I am in the same situation as you are. Got interviewed by AMR two months ago and got rejected. I am still waiting for my six months to pass so I can reapply. But definetly use this time to gain as much experience and knowledge in anyway. I start taking an EKG class in my local college and I...

are one more important than the other? because some of the elderly told me that the some nurse told them as long as their diastolic is within range they are fine and is normal for elderly, like around 70+ years old, to see high number on the systolic. With that said, it sounds like diastolic...

What is a SNF? Sorry, I am still very new to all the acronym.

Anyone know how the system are like in San Francisco, ca?

Thank you all for your experiences and info. Now I am more clear on what 1 and 1 rig. I am really looking forward to start working as a emt-b and really looking forward to be able to work on a 1 and 1 rig. Thank you all.

Thanks for the replies. At first I alway thought for an emt-b to be on a 1 and 1 rig, they need to have some kind of extra training or knowledge to be able to assist the medic. But it seems like all they really doing is just being the driver, mainly.

So what will consider a BLS 911 call?
