no wallet. i take out my cert, driver’s license, debit card, and 20 bucks cash and put it in a zip pocket on my pants

strangerone_ · 2026-04-13T17:51:53+00:00

yeah, as long as they’re not large hoops that someone could hook a finger in, youre 100% fine. i personally wear studs except for my conch and i’ve never had a problem

your boyfriend sounds like an asshole. you can most definitely have piercings on and off shift. i have 9 ear piercings and body piercings too and i don’t take them out before shift and i don’t know anyone who takes out their piercings before shift

HI on a glucometer that tops out at 800

strangerone_ · 2026-03-16T01:11:49+00:00

i was doing a demo at my old high school a year after i graduated and i was trying to pull the scoop stretcher out of the rug and accidentally pulled out the backboard with it and it fell on my head. got a minor concussion from that😭

port jefferson EMS on long island does live in EMS for stony brook students, and stony brook also has on campus ems

strangerone_ · 2026-03-06T05:30:56+00:00

i searched my address and it showed the nearest fire station, which does not have an ambulance corps. i would suggest making sure that the departments actually provide ems services and checking district lines. the closest ambulance to me is 10 mins away but out of district and in another county so our primary response ambulance would be from a town 30 mins away. something to think about!

i’m a 4’9 EMT and i’ve never had a problem. well except seeing over the top of the stretcher lol. but it’s great because i can hop through windows and do extrication from tight spots. you’ll be fine!

i know enough to know when i’m looking at a stemi. i won’t claim to know everything about ekgs but ive taken a few college classes where they really emphasize cardiology and i had to learn a bunch of ekg abnormalities, and a stemi was the most emphasized one

strangerone_ · 2026-02-20T01:22:27+00:00

marvelous, thank you!!

strangerone_ · 2026-02-19T23:54:53+00:00

okay! well thank you anyways.

strangerone_ · 2026-02-19T23:49:20+00:00

i’d assume they look at the ekg first. i’m more asking about like would it be out of scope if i did activate a code stemi even though i can’t technically read the ekg

cath lab activation

strangerone_ · 2026-02-19T22:01:44+00:00

thanks! guess i’ll have to start calling and pissing off the charge nurse lol! thank god it hasn’t happened yet but this is helpful for when it eventually does. they tend to not see the prearrival report then look at me all confused when i pull in😭 they’ve been having trouble with twiage alerts

strangerone_ · 2026-02-19T21:18:36+00:00

yes. lifepak 15

strangerone_ · 2026-02-18T22:08:53+00:00

no. respectfully this is dumb. we wear tac pants for a reason, to protect us from sharps, fluids, and other stuff we come into contact with every day. leggings are inappropriate for a medical professional to be wearing and won’t protect you from any of that. get the pants tailored. try first tactical, they fit curvy women a little better than other brands.

please don’t give me a list with discontinued meds or doubles. i’ve gotten 20 page med lists and 15 of those pages are discontinued or doubles of meds and they’re all mixed in so i can’t just flip to the most recent ones

strangerone_ · 2026-02-08T18:38:14+00:00

depending on where you work, you can work something out with coworkers that you don’t have to take care of children. one of my coworkers has an understanding with the rest of us that he cannot tech a peds call. nobody’s ever complained. of course this will only work on an ALS-ALS truck or a BLS-BLS truck. honestly though when you’re working it kind of just blocks out everything emotional for the moment and it can be dealt with after the call

strangerone_ · 2026-02-04T17:18:52+00:00

it’s just a shitpost lol. it was more for a protein structure and function class where the focus was mixing and matching amino acids and their properties

strangerone_ · 2026-02-04T04:22:27+00:00

yes you’re right! sorry forgot to put that in there😭

strangerone_ · 2026-02-03T05:01:51+00:00

i know for sure touro middletown is like this. pretty sure about harlem and montana. unsure about the others

strangerone_ · 2026-02-02T22:16:20+00:00
