The first thread was speculation and in this thread, the person witnessed a drinking game. Not quite time to pull the pin on society. Now, if you want to talk about common sense and the increasing use of cell phones in an ambulance while patients are on board, well, you've got something there.

Well put Triemal Having been a member here since the very beginning , there have been many different groups that have come & gone . some tried to rule with bluster , Some with DRAMA , and others with knowledge & experience. Since I have been doing this since before many members were born, I only tolerate the whiners & fakers a short time, & then call them on what they are doing to my profession. The older I get the lower my tolerance for ineptitude.

IF YOU ARE AN AHA instructor: I would check your PAM (Program administration manual) and your CTC (training center) policies before you give out anything. I am 100% sure (as an AHA instructor myself) that there is no temp card, and 99% sure that you have a very specific time frame to get their card to them. We give them out at end of class, so it has never been an issue. Assuming you don't personally know and trust these idgets..... if your "students" were the type to let their CPR card lapse when their job depended on it, I would be cautious giving them ANYTHING other than a card to begin with. Before you know it a photoshop version of that letter may "make the rounds" and you dont want anything to do with that. COntact your TC for options, not here. They are the final say on this. Just my 0.02

Pre-test for EMT-B... NO! It is an entry level position. Pre-test for EMT-P... YES! If you do not have EMT-B knowledge mastered then you should not be a Paramedic!
