I am looking for information about Paramedics working in emergency departments and what skills they are allowed to perform.
I am a Paramedic and work in an ED in order to earn some extra money as my service isn't playing nice with the schedule. I have approached the ED leadership about allowing techs that are certified as paramedics to perform advanced skills such as starting IVs, fluid administration, tele transport from the ED to floor when admitted, etc (I'm currently bored out of my mind).
I am looking for information on other hospitals allowing their techs to perform any or all of these skills in the ED. If you respond and let me know that your ED allows tech IV starts please let me know if this is allowed by all techs or just a limited group (ie EMT-I/P).
