No protocol for nebulized l-epi at my ground job. Only to consider nebulized saline for croup. You guys are already aware of which state I live and work in, lol.

The protocol for my ground job is nebulized saline for croup. We don't have carry racemic epi or decadron. I actually just used this protocol a couple of weeks ago and it seemed like it worked great. When we got to the hospital, the doctor then told the parents about how nebulized saline doesn't...

I worked at Wing Stop and Baskin Robbins before I became an EMT.

I used to work in the Bay Area. In my opinion, there isn't anything that makes one stand out more than the other. I think if you closed your eyes and picked at random, you'd be happy with whatever the EMS Gods chose for you. If you want to pick, that's totally fine too.

I've seen this done. Some places have you list every single thing you use eg 18G, flush, alcohol wipe, lock/extension, tegaderm, and tape. Some of them have them lumped together eg IV start kit. When they are lumped together, it is a lot easier to do. I assume that people are more likely to do...

So did you pass?

Might vary by county then. CCP-C was not good enough for the county I applied to. They wanted CCEMTP with clinical hours. They said flight experience did not count.

I think California requires CCEMTP plus clinical hours.

That is an understatement. :(

Nice dude! I got a huge pay increase going back to the ambulance, but I also just came back to the ambulance in time for an even bigger pay increase that only current employees got. Had I gotten hired like a week or two later, I wouldn't have had such a nice pay increase. I would've been paid...

pain 0.1-0.25 mg/kg post intubation sedation 0.5-1 mg/kg RSI 1-2 mg/kg excited delirium/behavioral 4 mg/kg IM Works as intended. I personally haven't had any major issues with it. I don't prefer it over drugs. I don't see it as any better or worse for things like RSI or pain management. I feel...

@DesertMedic66 Do you mean 5 mg/ml Versed vials? Ativan concentration is usually 2 mg/ml.

Where was it at? Too bad I am hearing about it now otherwise I would've tried going. Funny you say that. The place I got hired at is the very first paramedic job I applied, interviewed, and got a rejection letter from like 8 years ago. I might be going per diem at the flight job. I am not...

Today is my last day doing flight. Makes me sad. :(

Seems like everything is official. I am going back to ground in California. Been talking about it in the chat a little bit, but haven't made a post I don't think. Very sad about the scope and no more flying, but looking forward to the lower temperatures, being closer to home, and California pay...

Nope, I have no specific info on King.

Just put it in. I imagine that if you apply to every single job opening in the Bay Area, you are only going to hear back from a couple of them. You are probably not going to be offered a job with all of them. If you work 911 in the Bay Area, you are going to deal with a ton of homeless no matter...

I did a bunch of burgers and hot dogs for 4th of July. That was fun.

I like Seattle. I hope to go back soon.
