  1. why do nurses hate medics?

    BR157 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    I would rather not have my name, even if just a screen name, associated with EMTLIFE. RN Help | EMTLife Looks like you are trying to hijack that nursing thread for your own agenda with akulahawk...

  2. why do nurses hate medics?

    BR157 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    This is not really the forum to help you figure out all of your questions about the NREMT and your EMT-B cert. Consider yourself very lucky to get a job outside of the US with only an EMT-B...

  3. why do nurses hate medics?

    BR157 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    All of your posts here read like a script from House. You seem to be the only one who can do anything. There are no other nurses, radiology techs, lab, respiratory and doctors are useless according to...

  4. why do nurses hate medics?

    BR157 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    Aren't you exploiting EMTs and Paramedics by paying them ZERO? Why should a community pay for services if someone is always giving it away? If you have that many high paid professionals in your...

  5. why do nurses hate medics?

    BR157 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    I guess you learned something today about Paramedics. There are still many EMS departments which are totally volunteer or supplemented by volunteers. They don't deserve your attitude or whatever that...

  6. why do nurses hate medics?

    BR157 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    Ignorance and bias come when you try to defend that forum and deny the offending posts or discussions exist. That forum is not all honey and roses. For that matter neither is this forum but I can not...

  7. Nurses' strike is about preserving San Bernardino County patient care

    BR157 replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    These problems with inexperience have already been addressed in San Bernardino and San Obispo which is why the Fire Departments are stepping up to care for patients recently discharged by the...

  8. why do nurses hate medics?

    BR157 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    I think EMSE12 was genuine with her very nice comment towards Paramedics and from most of the others posting here, I don't think she is standing alone. As Paramedics and other EMS providers we...

  9. why do nurses hate medics?

    BR157 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    If you are a Paramedic you should be proud of it. The Dean was probably testing you to see how you would handle being challenged as a Paramedic. I would say you did not handle it very well. Lying to...

  10. Paramedic RN New grad

    BR157 replied to natnat122's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Why did you leave that ER job? There is nothing wrong with others giving pointers on what employers want to read or hear. In this situation it was pointed out about the state law. Things like that...

  11. Boston children's hospital cicu

    BR157 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    As I said before, I will always defend Paramedics but not when they get too far ahead of themselves and don't know what they don't know. You have no ICU experience as you stated yourself. You have no...

  12. Paramedic RN New grad

    BR157 replied to natnat122's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Are you applying for a new grad nurse position or a Paramedic job. What does it matter if a NURSE recruiter does not know the difference between EMT and Paramedic if you are being hired for a new grad...

  13. What can RT's do that RN's can't?

    BR157 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Students

    Paramedics can also do everything an RT can do and much

  14. Paramedic to ED RN

    BR157 replied to Eric_Medic's topic in Emergency

    Being an ER Tech is definitely beneficial as long as you aren't just a nursing assistant. At least you have a better chance of getting hired as an RN in that hospital. I hear in California it can...

  15. DNR HELP

    BR157 replied to Kylee Renee's topic in General Nursing

    That link is nonspecific and of very little use. You need to be familiar with your own state, county and EMS regulations and protocols. Some have several different levels and many are designed around...

  16. DNR HELP

    BR157 replied to Kylee Renee's topic in General Nursing

    To they OP, only the P&P manual for your facility can correctly advise you. Each state, county and facility can have its own regulations, rules and paperwork. There are also exceptions to every...

  17. Boston children's hospital cicu

    BR157 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    If you don't meet the minimum qualifications, why are you wanting to waste the NM's time by emailing? Your application was probably tossed because you do not meet the minimum requirements and the NM...

  18. Boston Children's Hospital- B.S.N. Only?

    BR157 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    There are also a lot of nurses who meet the BSN requirement and have lots of talent. Boston Children's Hospital knows it is popular with the applicants and can afford to set their bar higher for...

  19. Why can't nurses intubate?

    BR157 replied to natnat122's topic in Emergency

    Probably this nurse was fired for violence against another employee. At no time should violence against a co-worker EVER be tolerated even if you are superior to them. I don't where those of you who...

  20. Life of a helicopter MEDEVAC flight nurse?

    BR157 replied to drichie's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    To be a Paramedic, you need to get the EMT and then take the Paramedic course. This should take you about a year at any tech school and most community colleges have the 2 semester cert program. Then,...

  21. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    Not every little ER in rural America has RN who can do a lines for the Paramedic on CCT or flight. Did you expect all hospitals to do everything and have the patient neatly packaged when you did...

  22. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    I never said an aline done in the field. You inferred I stated that twice. I stated CCT which is Critical Care Transport and also flight. A field Paramedic can also so either of those and work in the...

  23. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    Why don't you comment on the OP question instead of just jumping on you soapbox with an inappropriate comment about EMT in the military and civilian life. Better yet, find a former military EMT and...

  24. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    You post just confirms you have no idea what a Paramedic is and can do nor what skills are being discussed. Civilian medicine and that what must be done in time of war are very different and not an...

  25. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    Critical care transports for long distances which are emergent for the sending hospital but an aline is best for continuous monitoring. I thought you said you did
