Devin Nemec replied to Skip Kirkwood's discussion It's time to start reporting incidents of violence against EMS personnel!!!Devin Nemec replied to Noel Carr's discussion Kevin Ware Injury - How would you splint?"I've done EMS for the NBA before. The teams have their own doctors and REALLY don't like you doing anything fancy. Also, the NBA now requires Paramedics as of (I think) 2011 court side and not EMTs. They also have special over-sized…"
Devin Nemec replied to Jamie Syrett's discussion Should Firefighters and police officers be taught Tactical Medical Procedures?"Is there any reason they shouldn't be prepared? Personally, I think it would make sense for all EMS personnel to be taught these things to. It might be common sense when your thinking about it in the break room, but when it's real and…"
Devin Nemec replied to Jesse M. Bell's discussion I'm at an impass: What do I do?"Short version: wait 6 years and decide
Long version:
For starters, your really only signing up for 6 years in the guard. Your last 2 are in the IRR (inactive ready reserve) and don't count towards retirement, which is 20 years service. Your…"
Devin Nemec replied to Skip Kirkwood's discussion NON-PUNITIVE "CLOSE CALLS" INCIDENT REPORTING - EVENT reporting!"On that degree note, I just applied to an EMS job that a degree was a requirement for. There shouldn't be too much competition either because of that mindset of why should I get one. At the company I'm no longer with, I think out of about…"
Skip Kirkwood replied to Devin Nemec's discussion Question about starting a study"You might want to take one of the many on-line courses in medical research methods to get you started - the topic is too vast for a forum.
Besides funding, the one great challenge will be getting your project past an institutional review board…"
Justin P replied to Devin Nemec's discussion Question about starting a study"When you say 'study' i think you are talking more about case review/ case management. Studies are used to test hypotheses (things we wonder if done differently would improve patient outcomes); whereas case managers review charts and other…"
Devin Nemec replied to Bill DeMars's discussion AED Wish List?"Good point, I'd take the "budge" AED over none any day.
"
Devin Nemec replied to Bill DeMars's discussion AED Wish List?"I would assume that for "printing a strip" the AED would print all of the "analyzing" rhythms it obtained during its last activation. There's no need to see 20 minutes of somebody pushing on a chest with occasional 15 second…"
Devin Nemec replied to Bob Sullivan's discussion Best way from BLS to ALS"No private I've worked for has had any method for accommodating, much less assisting, an employee to advance. They all felt if you wanted to go to school, it's your own problem for their benefit."
Devin Nemec replied to Derek Hogan's discussion Considering an online Paramedic to RN bridge - info please!"Milwaukee, WI right now. Probably not relocating to the east coast an time soon, either.
"
Devin Nemec replied to Derek Hogan's discussion Considering an online Paramedic to RN bridge - info please!"good point. You may have taken A&P in for paramedic, but it's not at all the equivalent of a true A&P class. Btw, I'm the only Paramedic degree student in this class, possibly the school. All the other students are either nursing…"
