Safe to say it has never felt better to sleep in my own bed. Boy does it feel great to be home and feeling awesome. I am still amazed at how well the surgery went. My surgeon is amazing.

Just saw the woman meet an ambulance with a bag on the curb. Go figure. Annoying as far as I can tell.

Do you offer tuition re-imbursement or relocation assistance? What other benefits do you have? Do you have aggressive protocals?

I have Pulmonary Hypertension why does O2 help ?
Adam Swartz replied to Ladybug's topic in Patient Care
Michelle, First off, let me welcome you. As to your question it helps because at a pulse of 120 - 130+ you aren't getting as much oxygen to your bloodstream and therefore your heart and your brain. This is what causes the symptoms to be so severe. Therefore when you are placed on Oxygen it allows more oxygen to reach the blood thereby increasing your oxygen level in your blood. Sincerely, Adam Swartz EMT-B -
Does anyone use the Littmans STC ?
Adam Swartz replied to emtbasic13's topic in General EMS Discussion
I myself have the Cardio III. I love it. Great in the field and ER. Haven't had issues with it yet. I work in a tire plant as an EMT/Guard and need to hear over the air pressure in there. Not had an issue with this. Tried a DRG scope once. Wanted to chuck it into the garbage. I have two Cardio IIIs just in case. Sending one of them into get tubing refurbed. It works like a charm. I plan on going to medical school in the future. This is the best scope that I have used. -
wow nice

Well folks I did it. I officially found my first job as a newly minted EMT-B. I am going to be a dual role Security Guard/EMT at a tire plant. The pay suprised me. Getting 11 an hour with the possibility of a raise in 3 to 6 months. Do any of you have any advice? This is my first job out of school and I am a little nervous as I only got 2 runs on my ride time. However I got a lot of contact during my ER shifts. My main concern is showing my nervousness outwardly. How did you guys and gals handle that? I feel confident in my assessments but still a bit nervous as after training I'm on my own. In any case thanks in advance for your replies. Adam Swartz
