I'm currently a medic in indiana and soon moving to the nashville side of TN. I have both my national registry and state certificate, is anyone familiar with their reciprocity with indiana or if they take the NR on it's own?

Thank you for all responses

Hey there. Is there a significant range of comp between provinces? Currently I'm in BC looking at paramedic options.

Hey everyone,

I need some advice on what the best way to prepare for studying Paramedic Practice is. Any books, courses, video material is welcome. I have more than a year until I potentially start studying so I have the time for bigger books or online courses.

Thanks

i am currently a firefighter medic who will soon have to be leaving the fire service because of a neck injury. i am still able to be a paramedic.

Ive never worked private EMS. I got hired by a fire department early on and only have been a medic for the fire department.

I hear how bad the private ems scene can be from other guys who have worked it. Is it really that bad? are there decent single role 911 services?

Because of this, I have been thinking about going back to school to be a nurse. I just know i wont like being a nurse near as much as i like being a medic.

Anyone know where I as a single role medic could find a fire department that will hire as a lateral with only paramedic experience and no firefighting in the Denver area? Unless there's medic only positions that pay as well as fire.

I'm in paramedic school and the biggest struggle I've faced so far is memorizing all the drugs. Does anyone have any study tips or mnemonics?

As student of Public health nurse in Algeria, I've heard that work hours can be like this:

• 24 hour shift followed by 72 hour rest.
• 12 hour shift followed by 48 hour rest.

I dunno what you think but this is awesome. So, I'm curious to know about the work hours in other countries.

My husband and I are relocating to Seattle early next year. I am a paramedic and I’ve been looking into jobs out there. I know there is AMR and medic one. Are there any other good departments or private ambulance companies i should be looking into? I’d appreciate the help. Thank you :)

Hi, I wanted to ask I have a sos bracelet that was my mum's and she passed when I was young and I was considering wearing it. Is this okay or should I just keep it as a memento and not wear it, the note which I think was not to give her pure oxygen was damaged and has been removed.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I wanted to check before deciding. Oh also I'm a queenslander if that matters.

Good day everybody!

I wrote in this subreddit a few months ago regarding the creation of a comprehensive paramedic study guide, which was met by an overwhelming amount of support from this community and many others like it. I have been making great headway with this project and I would like to turn my attention back to the community of paramedics and soon-to-be paramedics. I would like to offer my tutoring services to anyone who would like help with their studies, or to improve on knowledge already obtained through school (or work).

As mentioned before, I have been a Paramedic in Ontario for nearly 4 years now, with a wide range of knowledge and experience. I actively work as a Combat Medic in Ukraine, where I have been fortunate enough to significantly improve my skill set and use said skills in extremely high stress situations. Furthermore, I am constantly studying and improving my knowledge to ensure I am able to provide the best patient care possible (at home and abroad).

I am eager and willing to assist with any subject regarding Paramedicine and am proficient in many courses including Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Theory, Medical Math, etc. I would also be willing to help those who are preparing for their provincial exam (AEMCA). With my meticulous notes and real world experience, I believe I could truly assist those who are looking for a little more education.

Please feel free to message me or share your advice, and thank you for your time,

Alex.

Any of you from Costa Rica or are familiar with the laws there? I am moving there in a few years and was wondering if there was any reciprocity with the US on licensing.

What do you guys see? Pt was hypothermic, in DKA, and had been down in a non running car for 10+ hours in 30 degree F weather. Presented AMS (GCS 10), BP 80/palp, HR 112, RR 38, BGL “high”, Temp 77.6F (thermometer was terrible), but pt core was cold to the touch. Unable to obtain any medications or PMH other than diabetes.

I really really hate med math and i suck at math in general. does anyone have some sources so i can do some practice some equations? it would be helpful if a site would tell me if im right or wrong but i can’t find one!

So, been using Medictests.com for studying and prepping for the MREMT-P. I was told that the questions they have on the app are a little harder than the ACTUAL NREMT-P. Has anyone had experience with this? On the app's NREMT simulator, I keep getting 940's but on the "work on weaknesses tool" or "strength building tools" or even the call simulator, I am constantly getting 80's and 100's on those.

Thoughts?

Since perforating my right TM my hearing has been abysmal. Invested in one of these and holy cow, I am sooooo blown away by the amplification. Game changer! (The EKO 500 also looks epic but it wasn’t available in Canada and my crappy hearing couldn’t take the long wait.)

Hello! My name is Diana, I’m a student EMT in Spain! I’m currently enrolled in a two year EMT program and from march to june is second year students go on an apprenticeship to an ambulance service in our city Here’s the thing, i’ve dream of working and studying abroad since forever and we’ve just been notified that they’ve opened up an ERASMUS option to carry out the apprenticeship abroad in Europe BUT we get a higher chance if we find an ambulance service that would be willing to take us for those few months to do our apprenticeship in the other country

Does anyone know of any services that would be interested or willing to do something like this? A few classmates and I are looking into it and i thought writing here might give us some answers!

Thank you so much! Please ask any questions, i’ll try to answer as soon as possible.

Good Morning Medics. My company is sending me back to school to get my Critical Care certification so that we continue our expansion of contracts with the hospitals in my area. The thing is, in my state (TX) Critical Care isn't recognized and we've transported "critical care" calls plenty of times. I'm excited to get into it but since we've been taking critical care patients before even having the certificate, what exactly is coming my way that I need to prepare for? How long is the curriculum? (company said we have 90 days) Anything I need to brush up on before starting?

Have any of y'all ever gone to this school? It's a four year program for a bachelors in Health Care with a Paramedic Nurse Degree program. I'm 24 turning 25 at the beginning of next year and wanted to go to school for paramedicine before, however due to outside circumstances that wasn't possible until now. I'm not exactly looking to stay in Finland per say, however the school is basically free for me.

I am currently enrolled in Paramedic school and it’s not going so well. My program uses “Nancy Caroline’s emergency care in the streets. 9th edition” as our text book. We take all of our quizzes and tests through JBL learning. I study so hard and I can’t seem to pass tests. The questions are insanely specific and difficult, especially the ones that are scenario based. My instructors recognize this but say that it’s important because that’s the kind of questions we will encounter on the NREMT. Have any of you done this program before? If so, do you have any study tips? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Howdy everyone, Currently in my second year bachelor of paramedicine and I’m having some trouble differentiating between these 3 fractures to decide whether I pelvic bind, CT-6 or do a basic formable splint.

Any help or source would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you all in advance!

Hello everyone I’m 27 wouldn’t say I’m having a early mid life crises but kinda I guess I’ve always had this mindset of wanting to help people in some way and I’ve looked at the correctional officer and police officer and fire department routs and all seem great but I feel like my calling is in emr so I guess my question is what should I be expecting to walk into. Im mostly looking at rural areas to be an emt but is there anything else I should know or look out for?

Hey guys,

I’m a grad student currently working on a cloud integrated medical health record system (MEDWEB) that aids EMTs and paramedics in accessing emergency patient medical data to better treat and save time on emergency calls.

I would really appreciate it if I could get some interviews with EMTs/Paramedics for this research and get to know information from their experiences and perspective on how we could better design our system.

Please help me reach out to professionals who can aid me in getting in touch with EMTs and Paramedics to carry out our research. You can contact me on Reddit so that I can share my email for further communication.

Any kind of help for this would be really appreciated.
