I dont think EMS gives it anywhere near me, but maybe like the previous posters have said, its more to get you to think outside the box. If you ask the pt, then you can tell the triage nurse, and it can be done while the pt waits for the doc. Sometimes triage forgets to ask, so if the medics already know the pts tetanus status, and relay this information its ensures the pt gets the needed vaccine and doesn't have to wait for it later.

The link here explains it: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/english/public...equiv_qa.html#5 And I've talked to one person who has done it, another who is in the process, and a couple of more who are working on it for the future. It is possible.....

I'm an Emergency RN in Ontario looking into doing my required clinical hours on the ambulance then doing my EMCA exams. 450 hours of clinical time, then test out, without doing the college program. Can you please give me any feedback about this, and if you know anyone who has done this can you tell me about their experiences. I dont want to stay in the ER forever, and would eventually like to end up working for Ornge. Thankyou
