  1. Virginia has four levels: EMT-B EMT-E (Equivalent to EMT-I/85) EMT-I (Equivalent to EMT-I/99) EMT-P
  2. To add to that, the I/85 is quite similar to the "Enhanced" level hear in Virginia. The I/99 adds in all of the cardiac issues/assessments/meds. The I/99 is pretty much the same as Paramedic as far as the exam goes except the I/99 does not have the two oral stations.
  3. Either you did quite well or you missed EVERY question. I'm sure it's the former. I took mine two weeks ago & was cut off at 80.
  4. Did someone mistake the "w" key for the "l" key??????
  5. I want a QRV like this!!!!!
  6. So, you'd rather not know about it if it's happening?
  7. Also, let's control that scalp avulsion too. Any Battle signs?
  8. As stated above C-Spine precautions. Intubation and BVM with 100% oxygen. Anyone with him? Who called this in? Rapid trauma assessment to include DCAP-BTLS of the entire body, lung sounds, full set of vitals all working toward full package on LSB with texas two-straps/spiders and head blocks. How about also a 12-lead to rule out tamponade/contusion while we're at it.
  9. I currently work as an ALS provider in a split EMS/Transport system. Basically, nothing changes with my job other than one letter on my badge & about a $2 an hour pay raise. I earned an Associate's Degree in EMS Technology. I am going to take a semester to evaluate my options. I plan on returning to school in the Spring semester to start working toward my Bachelor's. Right now, I believe my best option for my Bachelor's would be a Business degree although I have looked into the possibility of going for the Bachelor's in EMS. Regardless of what field I choose to major in, a Bachelor's degree give me room to move both up with my current company and also laterally if I would so choose to go with another company. Also, I want to start working toward Critical Care as soon as possible. The next goal with my current company is Flight Medic.
  10. I apoligize for my vagueness. +5 to Dust for putting me in my place. LMAO!
  11. You mean to tell me that for two years, I was ALMOST pond scum?!?!? HORRAY!!!!!! LMAO!!!
  12. Yeah, I found out the following day.....I passed. And like spenac said, unless you missed just about every question, you should've passed.
  13. What level did you test at? I took my Paramedic CBT last week & was cut off after 80 questions.
  14. I used the Mosby "Paramedic Prep" study guide. Pretty good book with some rather in depth questions.
  15. How about the ever-so popular "I passed"?
  16. Yes, the real education is now set to begin! I can honestly say that I've learned a lot while on the truck as an Intermediate and can only hope to glean more knowledge from the other medics where I work!
  17. Took the CBT on Thursday, had the results by 11am yesterday. The card and "glitter" patch is in the mail as of today. Look out world, I'm a Paramedic.
  18. This echoes my sentiments. I have just recently finished my two year Associate's Degree to obtain my Paramedic. Can you be a good/competent medic if you can't read or write in chicken scratch? No! (Cue two semesters of English) Can you be a good/competent medic if you can't do basic algebra and work equasions? NO! (Cue 1-2 semesters of Algebra & above) Can you truly understand why your psychiatric pt's are acting like they do and deduce how to handle them the best? NO! (Cue two semesters of Psychology) Having the Paramedic certification incorporated into a two year degree is a wonderful step in the right direction for EMS. It makes for more knowledgeable and more capable ALS providers IMO. It also makes a more well-rounded individual.
