I'm trying to create some shirts but I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this. Basically what I'm looking for are the letters EMS with the american flag inside the letters. I've seen fire shirts like this but no one has the ems letters with a flag background in them. Anyone have any idea what I'm...
Exactly the title. As Christmas approaches does your service do anything for the employees? Gift cards, cash, or anything else? I checked the mail today and was pleasantly surprised to receive a little something. Ive only been with my present company a month or so. So...
So its coming to that time now... time to re certify my kern county/ca state card. I have my skills and application filled out and ready to turn in. My question is how long does it take from app drop off to the state website being updated/my card in hand?

Don't know how common of a term it is but as I sit here with a pt I think...how does everyone else get in and out of the hospital in a timely manner? Maybe its just the abuse of the system or maybe this hospital is really slow. We've been waiting for a bed for the last 2 hours and 12 mins...

So without starting another civil war about a tv show that was canceled and now appears on netflix i have a legit question on how to handle this call.
long story short:
Pt falls back off some stairs and is impailed through his abdomen by i verticle piece of rebar. according to medic no...
They did their batch of interviews and wondered if anyone else managed to be there today. I had a good time and was pretty impressed with the few supervisors I met today. If you were there good luck and this is the place to talk about it
