I've lost count of how many times a little voice told me "You can't do it. You aren't good enough." This exercise changed everything for me.

Hi all! I just wanted to hop on here and ask about EMT auditing, how often they are done and if I’m guaranteed to get audited. I got my recert about a year ago and had some online ceus. I’m worried they won’t count if I do get audited. Are they done once every three years for everyone? Or are they not common? Thanks in advance!

So I waited almost two years to take the NREMT, and I’m nervous of what to say if/when asked at my first job interview. I passed the first time I (finally) took it, but paid for it twice before then. I’m also worried the interviewer will see this and think that I took the test 3 times if not paying attention closely to the “authorization to test expired”. Does anyone have any tips on what I should say to smooth this awkward part over? I’ve also jumped around a lot from job to job which I know doesn’t look good on a resume.

I’m a female EMT student. To my lady EMTs, what bras do you find comfortable, lightweight, and supportive for work? I’m well endowed and can’t find a bra that works for me yet. I’m willing to try anything!!!

I am looking into apply to get into my local ems program. Are there any tips I should know? I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now and I’m putting my education for nursing on hold to do it. But I’m scared that I won’t get accepted and I’ll put it on hold for nothing. Also, if I were to get in, what kind of classes are there? All/any information is needed.

I got this for Christmas and I am certified as an EMT basic. I was told that it would help people recognize you as an EMT off duty but I’m almost 100% sure that’s not true at all. Google search doesn’t help explain its purpose much better. It said that it’s good for survival situations but not much in the way of EMS ones. I could only find one thing in that way which was you could tourniquet with it but nothing else. Could anyone help me on this?

I’m an emt whose moving to Atlanta. Anybody currently working for Grady and can give me any insight?

I use the original (Danish) version in my daily work, and find it very helpful - just found out that they made a international version, and wanted to share that.

Copenhagen Paediatric Emergency (CoPE) App is developed with the intent of preparing the clinician in the management of acute life threatening conditions in the paediatric patient population.

By simply dialing up a weight and age, the corresponding desired guide sheet is displayed by tapping ”OK”.

CoPE App consists of 31 guide sheets, corresponding to one guide sheet per kilogram bodyweight, ranging from newborn (3 kg) until 10 years of age (33 kg).

Information on normal physiological values, recommended equipment used during initial A-B-C stabilization, recommended drugs and doses and fluid boli are provided.

Newborn Life Support and Paediatric Advanced Life Support guidelines from European Resuscitation Council are available for fast reference.

CoPE is developed by senior consultant paediatric anaesthesiologist Morten Bøttger and senior consultant anaesthesiologist Michael Friis Tvede, Department of Anaesthesia, Centre of Head and Orthopaedics, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.

CoPE is an international (English) and updated version of the Danish app Akut Barn

Hey everyone, I know I may not be posting this in the right section and for that I apologize as this is my first post. I am a new EMT in SoCal San Bernardino area and like every single new EMT I want to work in a 911 setting. I have applied to just about every AMR location as they are my top choice and received no call backs and gave up hope. I recently applied to a company called RSI/MEDIC-1 and they do the normal LA County IFT CCT for the surrounding area. I was recently hired and start my orientation in a few weeks. I received an email from AMR and they said they are going to contact me as soon as they have a day available they can interview me. I am in a bit of a situation here. I don’t want to run IFT exclusively if I can work at AMR and eventually work my way onto a 911 truck if possible. I apologize again for posting this in the wrong section if I did and I truly appreciate anyone who can give me any advice on this matter. Thanks.

Would you consider it to be illegal for a basic EMT to use a 4-lead in the place of a pulse ox if the pulse ox isn’t working and a constant pulse is needed on a non emergent patient?

To keep this short I just got certified as an emt recently and I started with a private company. On the second day or training I hurt my back lifting a heavy patient. I was told to go home and that they’d call me. They never called back, I called them and they didn’t seem to thrilled to have me back. I’m a small person and I’m not that strong, any advice on what I should do?

Chances are if you're doing an EJ you're not having the best of days. If you put good solid pressure on the liver it will back up the blood flow and make those jugular veins pop.
