1. First response for severe burn??

   nerrollus replied to moongirl's topic in General Nursing

   Time to get creative. =) Depending on how dirty the blanket is, I'd take a few seconds to shake it out to get an large grass/dirt peices off it. I'd consider ripping off my own cloths (or others around me) and putting them between the patient and th...

2. CPR certification

   nerrollus replied to lc3's topic in General Nursing

   Gotcha ... Figured I was way off there. :) Here you've gotta be EMT-B to ride an ambulance. Most of the services here either run EMT-B with EMT-P or 2x EMT-P on ambulances. Fireresponders are what the police and volley firedepartments start wit...

3. Any nurses that went through EMT-B Training?

   nerrollus posted a topic in General Nursing

   Curious to see how many nurses have ever gone through EMT training? I ask because I originally wanted to switch careers and chose a firefighter. Can't be a firefighter around here without having your EMT-B, so I signed up for the course. Once I got...

   nerrollus replied to moongirl's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks! =) Had my moment of clarity not too long ago and I'm still pretty pumped up about being in EMT school and starting nursing school in the fall. Was pretty excited to see a question I could answer! Sorry for the spelling errors and such ......

6. Rescue 911---Staff Member Down!!

   good question ... If it was really taking the EMT's that long to get there, I wonder if you could have 911 contact med control and have them give you permission to do it? I wonder if that would fall in the good sameritan act or what ...

   nerrollus replied to moongirl's topic in General Nursing

   UGh, had a long reply typed out and my inet connection dropped after I hit submit. I'll try to get it all back up here again. Just went over this in EMT school, so I'll try to repeat this all back best I can. :) 1) AIRWAY/BREATHING!! Primary concern ...

8. Wouldn't you consider this stealing???

   nerrollus replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

   you handled it better than me ... Call me over protective, but the first time anything went missing off my desk I would have went around punching people in the neck until I got my stuff back. Seriously though, the last time I had people surfing my ...

9. Starting down that path ...

   nerrollus posted a topic in General Students

   Greetings! Quick bio: Currently I'm in the IT field and suffering from some pretty bad burnout. I started looking at switching careers and actually began taking an EMT-B class to become a firefighter. After being in the EMT-B class awhile I decide...

10. How would your ER handle these patients?

    nerrollus replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    Looks like it's dependant on the state. Here in Oklahoma, if they're pregnant or have a baby they're treated as an adult when it comes to pre-hospital care. I would assume it's the same for hospital care.
