Hi, does anyone know of a website where I can find scenario checklists.....scene-size-up,initial assessment,etc...like a critical criteria list.

has anyone had experience with American Red Cross?

thanks for all your help.

Hi..does anybody know of a website, where I can find volunteer jobs at EMS companies?, it's hard as it is finding a job, but I need experience and I think volunteering is the way to go.

The reason I was asking is because I got the info thru NAEMT because I'm a member and I don't think they would push anything that's a scam. Yes I have looked at SPC programs. I am also wondering what does this mean: Length of program 2 – 2 ½ years–The time for program completion varies widely, depending on the number of approved transfer credits and individual rate of progress toward degree completion. Accreditation NCA-CIHE*, IFSAC* Semester hours required 124 Pre-qualifications No Internship required Yes — can be completed locally Online classes Yes, asynchronously Financial aid available Yes *(NCA-CIHE) The North Central Association of Colleges and Schools - Commission on Institute of Higher Education (IFSAC) The International Fire Service Accreditation Congress

http://www.college-net.com/ Does anyone have any info about this college? is it good? Their are three programs that look interesting: Bachelor of Science in Health Science - EMS Management Associate’s Degree—Fire Science Bachelor’s Degree—Fire Science

LOL.... Trauma on NBC is Baywatch+E.R.+Die-Hard

The reason I was asking as a new grad EMT is that it's hard to get your "foot thru threshold" as far as getting a job at a ambulance company. I have sent my resume and application to 7 companies in the area, and I also tried as a ER tech at hospitals and nothing and I was looking at other options, that's why I asked the question.

what about in a mass casualty incident: The Preparation Specialist prepares the body for pickup. Depending on the circumstances of death, this could include removing indwelling medical devices (if allowed by hospital policy) and cleaning the body for presentation to the family. The method used should be guided by hospital policy. In the event that local funeral home pickup is not available, the Documentation Specialist and Preparation Specialist are also responsible for physically moving the deceased to the hospital morgue or temporary storage location. Disposition of hospital victims If funeral home services are overwhelmed with a large number of victims to be removed, hospitals may be responsible for providing temporary refrigerated storage. Unfortunately, morgue capacity in most hospitals will not be adequate for this task. Several solutions are available, including refrigerated trailers or buildings, free-span structures, or temporary centralized morgue facilities. (Even though a pandemic would be considered a disaster, care must be given to assure that remains are treated with the utmost respect. Stacking bodies on top of each other is never an acceptable process.) Regardless of the type of storage chosen, this must be done as part of a comprehensive community plan, developed in cooperation with local forensic authorities, emergency management and public health agencies. By working together, these agencies can improve processes, reduce costs and better support the families of the deceased. http://www.homeland1.com/homeland-security...ity-management/

I was wondering do EMT's also work in mortuaries? or some kind of agency where they work with coroners?

I'm a new grad EMT-B, I currently have AHA BLS/CPR card and Basic EKG certification. My question is what do I need for renewal, of course I have to renew my BLS card, Do I need BCLS,ACLS,PALS,BTLS,PHTLS or is all that for Paramedics?

Any EMT-B job openings in St.Petersburg/Tampa or Bradenton?

I want to take the on-line class and the on-road class, so at least when I get on-road I will have the basics. I just hate it when some posters right stupid statements, of course I'm not only going to take the on-line only. BTW if some posters have this kind of attitude with patients, I feel sorry for those patients.

and I bet you got your DL at the DMV driving in the parking lot, WOW good experience

thanks for the info
