  1. I am currently and EMT working on becoming a medic. Being such I work with nurses frequently. Recently I saw a nurse do something that is never done on the EMT side. She was performing a log roll procedure on a pt with a cervical injury. The pt had a c6 injury and had a hard collar on. The pt was very large person and they had 5 or 6 nurses to help move him/her. The nurse who was at the head was holding his/her head when they rolled him/her on the left side. When they went to roll back the nurse was not holding the head so I said wait a min until she can get back in position. She said she did not need to he/she had done fine with it before. The pt also was paralyzed from mid chest down and the injury was less than one week old. The pt was being transported to a facility that had an mri that could handle the weight. In EMS the head is always held and you never let go of it when moving a someone.Is his common in nursing? Is this even a technique nurses are taught? If so can I get a reference to site and what is the proper channel to report this error. I do not want to ruin anyone's career but I feel that it is something that should be corrected for future pt.
