  1. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    BR157 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    Your comments are again from someone who is not familiar with the current issues in US EMS or heathcare. No surprise that Emse12 would support you who is now equally out of touch with EMS. Your...

  2. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    BR157 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    Yeah I get it. You could care less what the topic is about but still believe it is okay to criticize me for my opinion on a topic which affects Paramedics. If you don't like the OP question, don't...

  3. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    BR157 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    Maybe if you read what the OP asked and the discussion which followed you might be able to grasp my opinions. God forbid a Paramedic might have an opinion about who supervises them or who is allowed...

  4. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    The OP did not mention if she was a military RN. I guess if she truly had this experience and all of this experience from the military as an RN then it would be okay to challenge the Paramedic without...

  5. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    By your name you are an EMT-B and not an RN or a Paramedic. I did not say anything about Paramedics being autonomous. However, the day that Paramedics can challenge the RN exam without any additional...

  6. The Infamous Cab-ulance

    BR157 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Emergency

    I have no idea who you are addressing that to but I am going to respond to some of what you are assuming. I brought up the idea that Paramedics should be able to decide who needs an ambulance ride...

  7. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    BR157 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    What are you talking about? I take it you did not read the OP's question. How would you like it if a physical therapist, respiratory tech or medical assistant was to be your "supervisor" but had no...

  8. The Infamous Cab-ulance

    BR157 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Emergency

    I haven't been mistreated but you have definitely confirmed how Paramedics have felt the nurse world felt about them. Luckily Paramedics know who they are and what they do. Just from reading this I...

  9. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    BR157 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    EMTCITY? EMTLIFE? EXPERTS123? Is that where you get your information about EMS? Which one is the medical board? EMTCITY or EMTLIFE? LOL! Next you'll be quoting the posts from this forum as the law....

  10. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    BR157 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    What you actually cited was from a nursing BON website. You can tell that by the wording which pertains to RNs and Paramedics in their hospitals which also can be changed according to the medical...

  11. The Infamous Cab-ulance

    BR157 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Emergency

    Paramedics should be intubating. Not nurses. Nurses have a state nurse practice act. You are not without scope of practice. Nurse practice acts in each state are laws that define...

  12. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    There needs to be an understanding that an RN is one country might not be the same as one in another. The same for

  13. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    Again you are wrong. There is nothing that says a Paramedic cannot insert arterial lines since they are responsible for most flight and cct teams. Your year old data of what a Paramedic is needs some...

  14. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    Aaahhh, Canadian. I do know there are very, very few nurses on transport teams, including neonatal, in Canada since the Paramedics have much more advanced education and can do everything nurses can...

  15. The Infamous Cab-ulance

    BR157 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Emergency

    You need to check your state laws for nurses and intubation again. You are wrong. Just look at the nurse practice acts in other states. Google is your friend to find BONs in other states and their...

  16. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    Your hospital allows the RNs to do needle decompression, intubate and place IOs in the ICU? Are they flight nurses in training? I bet your nursing board would love to get hold of this info if these...

  17. The Infamous Cab-ulance

    BR157 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Emergency

    I bet those nurses didn't have their licenses very long. ACLS and PALS does not entitle you to do intubation as a nurse. Many states do not allow nurses to intubate under any circumstances and that...

  18. The Infamous Cab-ulance

    BR157 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Emergency

    You obviously missed the point. Why should EMS transport every little booboo? Or the drunk who can go to a drunk tank by cop car? Paramedics are on the streets on the

  19. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    BR157 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    Here you are just wrong. Many states restrict a nurse from intubating. Some restrict nurses from central lines and arterial line insertion. The medical director for a Paramedic just has to inform the...

  20. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    I can see I have to start at the beginning here with first explaining what EMTs and Paramedics are. Paramedics do much more than just spinal immobilization. This part is directed at Esme12....

  21. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    Double standard as I thought I would find on a nurse forum. I guess you don't like being questioned by someone in a group nurses tend to look down upon as a lesser profession. You think it is...

  22. The Infamous Cab-ulance

    BR157 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Emergency

    It should be illegal. Most of them are illegal and or doing illegal **** anyways. Sick of them sucking up valuable time from decent citizens who need an ambulance with Paramedics who are there to help...

  23. Frequent Fliers...seeking ENEMAS!

    BR157 replied to 1fastRN's topic in Emergency

    Give it to them and make sure it is one they don't forget and won't come back asking

  24. Rn to medic

    BR157 replied to KCTRN's topic in Emergency

    No, no and oh hell no! No RN should ever be allowed to challenge the Paramedic exam without taking the whole Paramedic program. An RN isn't even trained to the EMT-BASIC level. Ever seen an RN try to...

  25. Paramedics in the hospital setting

    BR157 replied to Ellekat2's topic in Rural

    No nurse should ever be supervising a Paramedic. That should just not happen. Paramedics do not work under a nurse's license. Only a doctor should be giving us orders. As Akulahawk pointed out,...
