If cutting off clothing is going to make it easier for me to do my job, or improves patient care by reducing pain or allowing more working space, it comes off. I don't really put much thought into it.

I don't see any hippa violation if treatments/injuries weren't discussed. sounds like your supervisors need a refresher on what constitutes a hippa violation.

thats a stupid question. i don't understand their reasoning behind some questions like this. seems pretty irrelevant to me....

I have told patients the exact same thing albeit with a little more fluff around the edges. There is nothing wrong with what he did.

How do you like your job? Is it stressful? Are most shifts 24 hours at a time? Are the daily stresses debilitating?
Also a few other questions. I have an eye condition which is responsible for me having VERY bad night vision will this in some way prevent me from working as a paramedic?
I love my job. Yes, it CAN be stressful sometimes but most of the time its not bad.. some calls are more stressful than others but I can't say that I've ever been overwhelmed by stress. If you can't take things in stride I wouldn't recommend becoming a medic. Some shifts are 24 and some shifts are 12.. People also work 48's or 72's..depends. You eye condition might prevent you from driving the ambulance at night but I don't see why it would hinder you from becoming a paramedic.

I don't understand why someone wants to be a preceptor if they don't like having students. Kind of unfair to the student.
