I have both of those things in my jump kit.

Bee, I just went out to Wal-Mart and bought one...$4.74..Can't beat that. I'm going to stock it tonight!

Where did you get your sterile water from?

Bee, I like your kit. I'm trying to find a EMS fanny pack, do you have any thoughts? Thanks.

7:00AM-10:00PM NO CALLS...That's 13 hours with NO calls.

Hey Everyone, Thanks for all your posts. I'll give some background on my Cadet program and move on from there. It's for high school kids ages 14-18. I always wanted to go into emergency medicine at a young age. Now I'm getting to experience some of that before I graduate from high school. We have about 10 cadets and every time I go to a meeting we have a new member. Before any cadet can get on the truck you have to get: healthcare provider level CPR training, BBP training, HIPAA training and equipment training. We have learned the use of both BLS and ALS equipment(I.V set ups, EKG placement). We do regular training sessions. I've learned a lot through this program. Really they didn't find me, I found them. We are getting ready to elect officers soon! I don't know about us getting first responder or EMT certified. We are only allowed to ride with an adviser. If for some reason the adviser would find someone else to ride with the Cadet. We have about the same hours as the NY explorer program. I'm going back next week to ride along for my second time. If anyone has any questions, comments please post or private message me. (Funny note: The first time I signed up to ride along I sat there from 7:30am till 11:00pm. The first call of the day for my truck came in at 10:00pm.) Thanks.

Hello Everyone, This is my first post. Here's a little background on me. I'm a 14 year old EMS Cadet at my local station. I just started about 3 months ago and have already been on ride alongs. I guess I'm posting because I want to know a little more about the different types of EMS cadets and how they do different things at different stations etc. I would just like you to post general information on your program and a little background on it as well. I'm sorry if this sounds like a lot. Thanks.
