Ride Along

Couldn't find any recent posts about ride alongs, so I created a new one!

Interested in critical care, and doing a ride along in NYC. Does anyone know how to get something like that started?

Thanks!

    Looking for a ride along on an ambulance. Didn't realize they had to be specialized. Interested in gaining experience.

    Critical care transport nurses are highly experienced (5+ years) in either general adult (MICU/SICU/TICU), pediatric ICU, or neonatal ICU nursing. Often the nursing & transport team is facility based. The rig often is a tight fit so family often can't even accompany the patient.

    Flight crew might be a facility based or ambulance service based. Staffing varies and I've never heard of a ride along mostly because of space and weight limitations.

    Field critical care are paramedics working under ED physician protocol & medical command using the medical model of care in tangent with basic EMTs. In NYC, most medic ambulances are fire department based with a few private & hospital based EMS companies. Generally nursing is not a part of this service, but there are nurses also certified as paramedics.
