guilty who has ever pee'd their pants in public (in their adult life)

could we keep the personal insults and name calling out of this? We are supposed to be adults and professionals here. Act like it.

Sure why not? It's great PR and the students really seem to enjoy it. Although, I don't see why they make such a huge deal about this around prom season. Kids drink and drive year round.

oh, now it shows up no comment on what these girls really are though

exactly.. because no such thing exists jk...

Same here Chris. Like I said.. pick a field or parking lot. There are plenty to choose from.

land in a field or parking lot... done

It's also a rescue vehicle that will respond to accidents and provide extrication, along with everything else a rescue company will perform. Having ambulance written on it, only means there are EMT's on board. You see fire engines with the same thing.

Yes, Happy Memorial Day!

I was informed of my mistake, and corrected myself in my next post. After all, this is a message/discussion forum. The whole point here is to discuss things, not link websites. If that were the case, rename it to emtgoogle.com

Wow, that really blows

Good advice, it is nearly impossible to memorize all your protocols, let alone two different sets of them. Never be afraid to consult with your medical directors and command doc's. It's what they are there for, amongst the obvious reasons to them being there.

oops, I totally forgot to give my advice. The color method works pretty well, but don't just copy/paste and print them. Actually write them out, type them, then print out in color codes. That way you have to read them, recite them, then type them.

Congratulations But don't you think your son is a little underweight?

I really don't think counties can vary all that much from one another. Maybe one place says to use one med and other says use a different one. So, yes.. memorize your protocols.

it's great to make fun of that guy and his commercials, but oddly enough, the product actually works

If you want to go read those sites, go ahead. I am not writing a paper here. I am posting what I know.

1. Use a hot plate 2. Don't need it 3. any bowl will work 4. no, fold the mix a few time.. over mixing pancakes makes them tough 5. check your PDX 6. I am sure the kitchen there has 2 they will spare 7. goat milk is good 8. sugar and some water 9. no

make some?

I'm a bit late on this, but yes. He beat up a hooker and got his ass beat as well. Apparently, she didn't approve when he said "you're gonna love my nuts!" (from another one of his product pitches "slap chop").

You make a lot of good points. This however, is not NR's fault. People will complain about anything and everything on stuff. Easier to make excuses than it is to just admit to sucking. Look at the last Summer Olympics. Gold medal races, and people were making excuses for losing. NR is easy in a few aspects. The practical portion was pretty simple. I had trouble with the written solely because of it's format. I know the material, I just over thought everything. No big whoop, it's not their fault, it is mine. NR is trying to make things better for EMS all around though. It is those whiners you talk about that keep this profession a laughing stock.

but there are no hidden staircases in the NR. The skill sheets tell you what you need to do and what not to do. No secrets. It's there, plain English.

Forgot about this. On top of knowing what you will be tested on.. you are asked at the end of each scenario/station "is there anything you would have done differently?". So, you are allowed to see the skill sheets to know what you are being tested on. They are very easy to find if you haven't seen them. Then you are given a second chance to make amends to something you make have forgotten to messed up on. The critical fails in the testing scenarios are pretty significant things. If you miss doing one of them, or do something you shouldn't that is bad, very bad for the patient. When they "keep is a secret" about what you messed up on, it's meant for you to go back and review it all so you don't make that same mistake again, along with making a different one.

extensive damage to the ambulance... it had to be going at a high rate of speed.
