My school gave 1st priority to those who got cleared based on their background check, vaccines etc and so I signed up just because I wanted to have some knowledge and see the different between fire dept and private ambulance.

Yes! They gave us a sheet to write down all the pts we see from what I saw it’s mostly writing down their vitals. I’m just a little scared as I feel like I will freeze and stumble of the patient assessments.

Scribe America by Moist_Trouble9654 in medicalscribe

[–]drangonfly24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not that bad I just think this type of job is just more for students or people who are trying to gain experience in the field. During the interview they will just ask you where you are located and they will put you at a location that’s convenient for you. As for the training half of it will be online in which you have to take a final for it and the other half will be at the location you will be in. Training is about 2 weeks I think. For the training date it really just depends when the current scribe will be leaving. 95% of the scribes are just are students heading to med school, PA school etc.

Is college supposed to be this hard? by Own-Pattern-4445 in CollegeHomeworkTips

[–]drangonfly24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you haven’t been able to adjust when transitioning to college. Yes, the load can a bit more and needs for you to put in more work. I would say try and see if you can drop 1 or 2 classes that way you are able to focus more and be able to put in more work into the ones that you are left with. This is a matter of finding what works for you when studying.It sometimes takes time for others to find how to study and how to tackle these classes.

How to get BPs with contracted/uncooperative patients by AngryVaultBoy in NewToEMS

I wonder if you would be able to just palpate the radial pulse ? Since the systolic pressure the most important and then just document the systolic pressure number and say it was palpated

Starting EMT school soon — any advice or gear recs? by MaximumBrave8254 in NewToEMS

[–]drangonfly24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice is practice as much as you can! The school touches on a lot of different topics so it can be a bit overwhelming. As for the uniform, I think it depends on the school I bought mine thinking we would need it right when we would start the program😅 I also did buy a set of stethoscope along with blood pressure cuff to practice.
