LearningByMistakes

Sorry, repeat post.

While someone can teach things they don't know, or haven't done, how exactly are they able to answer the questions asked by students, or teach effectively? This is one of the biggest problems I see in health care education these days. And we wonder w...

Some more Liberal/Socialist "speak" from your hero,

Let me help yopu MunoRN, the first is from Liberal/ Socialist hero Nancy Pelosi The next is from another Liberal/Socialist hero, John Conyers John Conyers on Reading the Healthcare Bill - YouTube This is the stuff that we are tired of and what I was...

Really MunoRN? Oh, that's right, you have to PASS the bill, to find out what's IN the bill. Typical Liberal.

Thank you BlueDevil for your Liberal/ Socialist view. Unlike you, many Americans do NOT want YOUR Liberal/ Socialist version of America. Plenty of places that meet YOUR needs outside of America, so please, feel free to go. So Thanks, but NO thanks.

As a Paramedic of 29 years, and 28 of those working in a city that regularly ranks in the top 5 (many times top 2) of the most dangerous cities in the US, I can tell you that if I was "off the clock" I would have called 911 and reported where it was ...

Good question and if you are really interested in learning more about the treatment of VF & pulseless VT, you'll find that there is NO evidence of any drug, improving survival to walking out of the hospital neurologically intact. Also, remember ...

A little something for you to read and might find interesting....... 96-Minute CPR Marathon Saves Minnesota Man's Life - ABC News

As a Paramedic, who HAS to carry mine with me, YES I do laminate them and yes, it is ok to do that. LOL

I use the idea of traveling down a highway (for my area it would be I-95) and you come across road construction and the travel lanes get restricted from 2 or 3 lanes, to 1 lane. Thus the traffic backs up and slows the movement thru the area. And then...

Yes, we know TraumaSurfer, all Paramedics are worthless. Feel better now?

Let there be NO mistake, taking and getting an ACLS &/or PALS card does NOT mean that you can intubate. Why anyone would think they can, is still beyond me. As an ACLS & PALS Instructor for well over 20 years, I will tell you that you are mis...

akulahawk has it correct, the CCEMTP course is a basic introduction to Critical Care Transport and it is open to RN's and RT's. I took my CCEMTP course in 2002 and enjoyed it. ...

You can take ACLS as a nursing student, we have done several courses for nursing schools over the years (Medic students take it). PALS can also be taken by students (Medic students take it). I am not a Nurse, however I am a 28 year Paramedic and we t...

I also have placed many IO's, these days it is made much easier using the EZ-IO. I should state that I am a Paramedic, and not a Nurse. I know that at the Hospitals that I work for, only Physicans & Paramedics can place IO's, however that is lo...

And I know a handful of Paramedics that have done Excelsior.

Your lack of respect for EMS (and Paramedics) has been shown in this and many other threads. And thanks for letting me know that YOU approve of what I think, I'll certainly sleep better now. Your words, "It is only through education that those in EM...

Thank you for letting us know how all Paramedics are useless & ignorant TraumaSurfer and I am glad that YOU are here to save everyone from us. Yes, we do have problems in EMS, and YES we do have some people that we would probably be better withou...

I will say that it is a well made bag, HOWEVER it is heavier then most! If that's not a problem for you, go for it!

May I ask whose job provides the benefits for your family? If YOUR job provides the benefits, then you YOUR job should be the priority. However, if you do not provide the benefits for your family, why is your husband the "bad guy" here, as so many ...

No offense intended, but lets say you get it changed to "differently abled", at what point does that "name" become the same as handicapped or disability, and then that "word" NOW becomes a "problem"? I'm sorry, but someone who has a disability or ha...

Actually, PERFECT practice makes perfect.

As a 28 year Paramedic I'll offer you the same advice I offer Paramedic students and new Paramedics, #1 - In an emergency, FIRST, check your own pulse. #2 - YOU did NOT create the emergency (at least most of the time, LOL!).
