I have my "Essentials of fire fighting" thats all I need to fight fires, now I have other training like of course EMT,CPR, Confined space rescue, trench rescue and others.

My dept wants everybody to have FF1 by January 2010, I personally think its a money hungry thing, my president/LT told me at my fire dept that to get grants we have to have so many FF1 trained guys or we wont get any. Im happy with what I have.

At least, for McCains sake, Bush is skipping the convention.

Morale just went up with bush not being there...

Im being serious Mobis...Ill save it in favorites and check it out later.

"Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf."

Thats what i said to Jess......

Perhaps I will be set straight, but once I finish my Paramedic, I would like to work under bledsoe's direction. I think it would be a good opportunity to continue to learn, delivering patients to the guy who "wrote the book" that I learned my job from.

Who? Never heard of Bledsoe?

The EMTcity EMS, where else would I want to be?!!??!!

Well, watching the weather channel, it looks like New Orleans dodged a 'direct hit'!

Now we need to watch hurricane Hanna, ...

According to projections, she's gonna hit somewhere between Jacksonville, FL and Hilton Head, SC...

This means I'm looking right down the barrel on this one!

Thank You Brett NOAA.......lol....

Gotta wonder if he "forgets" to dispatch the correct resources....lol

And yet they were the drunk one....

Here it is Monday morning, my company already has a broken down truck in Louisiana and 3 people sent back because they were not needed. o well..

New governor, but the idiots re-elected the same mayor, so I still see a good chance for epic failure.

And they deserve it.

I agree Dust. well spoken

My company sent 3 trucks down with 2 medics and 4 EMTs, very dumb, we have no employees here and have blown so many calls. Personally we should be worried about our town and contracts :roll:

We sent 10 down for Katrina, 6 came back sick after a series of shots, no thank you, Ill pass.

Good luck to all that go down!

I dont see no violation for one thing and two imagine that, AMR mentioned again in a negative way... :shock:

Ok so got to relax? Right? And whats a good way to get practice? Talk to others in the filed? Should I do more secinarios? Ask another EMT or Medic if I can practice on them? I work as a Vehicle Service Tech (VST) I clean, wash, stock, and gas the Ambulance.

Spelling would be a great start....

Oh great, now we have to hear them crying again.....

Thank you KSEMT122, I was going to say its free for us, we were offered the shots at where I work at.

They encourage it, but you dont to get them.

Jess and I are both EMT's I love it, we compare calls we had and share knowledge. I enjoy it.

Unlike my ex who thought that I thought I was better then her and fought about it.. :roll:

I dont know what we charge but I do tell the pains in the asses and the psyche transfers that a cab is cheaper.

Any animal of mine that bites me or family would be dead.....

I live 20 minutes from home, so nope cant go home for down time, that would be bad anyway, cause once im home, im not leaving....lol

Yes, good luck on your EMT class but please remember it's not rocket science. Go deeper in the items that are giving you trouble. You will find that EMT class is not as hard as you are making it out to be.

For every 1 hour of class time spend at least 1 hour studying or better yet 4 hours. That's the number they use in college.

If you need additional resources I can probably find them for you on the net so pm me and I'll try to help.

If they are talkking about the heart you should learn about the cardiovascular system but don't go overboard and try to learn EKG's and such. That's extraneous crap you won't need until medic school

oh yeah, make sure to have fun.

And one other thing, post questions here often if you ahve them. Don't be afraid to pm those you trust with questions.

Its not rocket science??? Aw man....

Parents drink cause of kids like Echo...

Some people would need a WIDE screen for there egos...I mean profile....

Never heard of her....but get well soon...hospitals suck!!!!! especially when we are patients!!!
