Granted but it is ripped in half and you lost one piece I wish all the chores where done!

Granted, but they charge $100 an hour I wish FireEMT would stop being a smart a**

wish granted but you shoot yourself in the foot with it I wish I could speak french Granted but all they do is sit around and do nothing I wish I could speak french

Wish granted but it rains all spring I wish I was a paramedic

You have syrup but only 2 drops worth I wish life was easy!

I wish we could have a cadet program around here! They keep trying to get it to work but unfortunately you need clinical time in the ER before you can complete the local emt class. Non of the hospitals locally will let you do your clinical unless you are 18 and older..... As far as having a student or less trained emt on the ambulance, my agency does it! But is has to be a crew of 3, 2 experienced emts and 1 student/noob. If they are a student, they can only do basic First Aid skills and the field report. If they are a noob, we start them off slow and easy, starting with vital signs, field report, Basic FA and then as time goes on and they prove themselves more they get to do more stuff! It is a great way to get knowledge and experiance..... Just dive in and learn all the hands on stuff you can (with close supervision of corse)!

Feet or Foot.... (long shot.... since the feet are in the boots... but worth a try)

LOL! Too funny! They did a good job on that

OMG! How can the not have hurt! He didn't even scream in pain!! It was like he said, hmmm the glass broke... guess I should probably take that out (as he slowly pulls out the glass with no problem.)

Welcome to the city Federico! I am an EMT-b in Washington, USA I hope you learn a lot and enjoy it here like I do. And if you have any trouble with English... spell check is a great tool to use! Don't forget to send some pasta over this way!

You and me both girl!! MacGyver is sooooo Hot!

Ok..... what happened to just MacGyvering it!!! I mean have you ever heard of improvise, overcome, and adapt!!?? If you where in a disaster situation, or even in the wilderness.... use what you have around you! I know MacGyver was only a TV show... but most of the stuff he did made since! Use your brain and think about what you have around you to work with [paper clip, pocket knife, gum raper (things MacGyver used)... lol].... yes some of those things you just can't improvise.... but if that is the case... maybe you shouldn't be useing it without the proper training or carry those items in a smaller kit. Any way that is just my thoughts

Welcome to the city Isaac! I hope you enjoy and learn lots here! 8)

4.... I LOVE candy! How old were you when saw snow for the first time.....?

You didn't do this just to get attention and sympathy from us girls did you :shock:....!? LOL, :wink: just kidding, I know you have been in alot of pain lately and I hope this will finally help! Hope you start feeling better and enjoy the paid time off (lucky duck!).... don't get into too much trouble!

LOL! Leave it to Chris to post this in the forum! Why indeed!? :scratch: *sigh* oh well, as we have seen.... there are pretty crazy people and silly rules out there!! :-s

Like a lot of other private, volly ambulance services, we have no money to up date our AEDs.... We have the heartstart 3000 on both of the ambulances... they are capable of doing 2-leads, but sometimes I wonder if the reading is really accurate. It is better than nothing though and it still delivers a shock if needed!

Interesting how only one other female has commented on this.... Basically, be smart, play it safe and no matter what, trust you instincts! Like we have been trained... protect yourself before you do anything else, and be aware of your surroundings.

Congrates tracy!! It must feel really good to finally get that done! I wish I was at that point.... still working on EMT-P, but I will get there some day! Welcome to the city, hope you enjoy it like I do!

WOW, Iceland!! Not many people in the city, that I know of, from there! Hope you continue to enjoy it here and learn lots! Welcome to the city!

I home schooled 1st, 6th, and all of high school! The best part about it is that I was able to get all my school work done in the morning and play in the afternoon when all my friends had to do home work! It is hard tough!!! Make sure that you take the time to help your kids with anything they need or find someone that can help them understand the info. I used A beka, a good but very hard curriculum (it is Christian based however)! The nice thing about that program is that they have DVDs for each class, that has a teacher in a classroom teaching kids, so it makes you feel like you are a part of the class. If you don't understand something, you can just rewind the DVD and watch the class again! A beka also has a fully accredited program so that when you complete grade 12 you can graduate with a high school diploma instead of having to get your GED like most home schoolers. But there are alot of other good programs out there as well. Good luck!! http://www.abeka.org/

WOW! This is just messed up! What is the world coming to when people have to lie to get attention :^o and then sue to cover up their tracks and try to keep their reputation.... :angry7: If you know anything about this forum.... it is that you should only post the truth.... because people will check up on it! Right, AK and Dusty!?

Actually, I live in a small town and every call takes about 30 min to get to the nearest hospital... so yes the ride really is long enough.... And then there is always long distance transfers, that is always... "fun". Unfortunately I have been the patient on that uncomfortable mattress, and it is not a nice ride.

Welcome!! I hope you have fun getting to know a few of us while you are here! And Remember this site has a lot of people, from all over the world, with different opinions and great knowledge 8) ! So have fun, learn, and keep going! :wink:

Hey other Kat!!! Nice to have you around!! I also work for a small private ambulance service :wink: ... we only get about 250 calls a year! Anyway, welcome!!! 8)
