I have tried a product from http://emssuccess.com/ I just downloaded the MP3s last week. I am using these as review as I have been out of class 11 months waiting for an internship to get my ride hours done. I can not say how it will help for national testing but I can say I am enjoying the...

9 months after finishing my hospital rotations and 11 months after finishing classroom portion I have finally secured an internship with Sacramento City Fire. I was wondering if anyone here has interned with them and what your experience was like. I am spending time reviewing the Sac...

I have started the process to work during the strike. The patients are still going to need care and having people that are not orientated to the specific facility will mean bumps on the road but even the folks striking know that people still need to be cared for. A friend of mine is traveling...

A new game for mobile devices and I believe PC/Mac is under development. It is on Kickstarter to get necessary funding. Those who donate not only help get a game that could be a fun learning tool out there but they get a copy of the game and can be involved in beta testing. I pledged as I...

Not only are there very limited if any jobs for Medics in California the schools are still turning them out in groves. Students are waiting 6-12 months after didactic just to get a preceptor to ride with for internship. So if there are not even enough places for students to ride for...

I would be sure your job duties description identifies dealing with people, solving problems, working flexible schedules, etc. A strong cover letter may be a bigger help in landing something than the resume is.

Sounds like Sac Valley to me.

Hey that is just what I was trying to explain and that makes sense since I worked for PCEMS in Lakeland :P

Years ago the system I worked used six foot long straps with seat belt style buckles. We used a technique that went over the shoulder, through handle on board, across chest just under armpit, through handle on opposit side, up over second shoulder, diagonal across chest to hip area, through...

Wow that does not sound like a decent working enviroment. Granted it has been many years since I was on a rig but when I was the company had great equipment and crews took pride in them and took good care. My biggest complaint was being in the type II's when posting as they are cramped and...

During my clinical time I never asked a doctor to do a procedure but I asked if I coukd observe a few times. Luckily our docs would ask me if I wanted to do procedures. I found being there asking them questions when it was appropriate and interacting with them that they became comfirtable and...

Just wondering where you found the paramedic texts for kindle. I have looked and not found anything. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk

Guess it depends how much your looking to spend. Personally, I tend to spend money in comfort things such as comfy boots, under armor t shirts to keep cooler, I like inexpensive watches as I tend to be hard on them and I never feel like they are clean after a yucky call so I usually grab two at...

Internship is an additional 480-720 hours depending on the students skills and experience. Also not Riverside I was in Roseville (Sacramento).

I went through NCTI. What I meant was what I had left was four shifts. We did 160 hours total clinicals then internship. Hospital I am at is a busy place so more than enough patients for good hands on. The only thing I have had a shortage of has been pediatric patients. Glad less sick kids in...

I finished didactic in sept and started clinicals the end of Oct. Only four ER shifts and one L&D then done and ready for internship. Had seven et tubes, one cardioversion, two codes, ton of IV's, fifteen med pushes, and a lot of fun. Looking forward to internship starting hopefully in January

Agreed. I would have gone with Narcan initially but if the patient already had a tube in place I would have thought twice to prevent a patient from pulling out an airway and possibly causing more trauma. So I can see where on arrival at the ER that Narcan may not have been considered.
