  1. thanks, i'm just looking right now but I really love washington. Do you know about sear and rescue out there?
  2. Usually I go for the AC, i try to look at both arms before i stick them. And i almost always go with the 20 gauge, unless it's truama and i go with an 18 or if they have small veins for some reason i go with a 22. I've been doing alot of my clinicals so pretty much all patients get iv's. When I start them i get like bubbles of blood, but i can't advance the catheter, i thought maybe i was just hitting valves, but i keep doing it. I know i need to work on my angle because my first couple of iv's I blew. And don't worry i didn't take it as an attack, i need all the help i can get, because i am really getting frustrated.
  3. I really want to move out to washington to work as a paramedic. Is there anyone here who works out there? Is ems part of the fire department? What is the best town/city to work in? Whats the pay like? If anyone knows what i should expect please share your experiances.
  4. So i've done about 20 ivs, and i'm still so-so at starting them. I am getting frustrated because i see the vein, i feel the vein but it feels like i miss more than i geth them. Any tips for getting a good stick?
