EMS Ride along Experience at Warren Fire Station of Area one On the 7th of March in 2018, I attended the Community experience with the EMS team at Fire station of area one. This station is located at the northeastern corner of nine mile road. Upon arrival I introduce myself to the team. Every member of the team was presented in a professional manner that included: one’s skills, education, and the years of experience. During the meeting, several subjects were discussed such as: nursing student’s objective from this experience, Clarifying tasks and tactics, protocols and daily operations. All the tasks were executed with each member of the team with integrity, honesty and beneficence to the warren community. During the twelve hours shift, there
My ride along experience with the Grand Island Police Department. I actually had to go on it twice. The shift I had picked for my ride along started at 6:00 pm and ended 4:00 am. On a Saturday night. I stayed both times almost the whole shift because I enjoyed the adrenalin rush and I really miss being on patrol. The first time I ended up waiting for an officer at the station for over an hour and I kept seeing civilian cars race in to the parking lot and then units raced out so I knew something big was happening. I then went over to the dispatch center and sat with them for another 45 minutes. What had happened was a suspect had went over to a State Patrolman’s house with a gun and was brandishing the gun and stating that all
This paper will discuss the internal organizational conflict that occurred in the Wake County Department of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) after the formation of the Advanced Practice Paramedic Division (APP). Wake County EMS (WCEMS) is the sole entity with in the Wake county Government structure that is charged with providing prehospital emergency medical care to the visitors and citizens of Wake County. This paper is based on the opinion of the writer; it does not and is not reflective of the department’s opinion or the stance of the county.
I walked to 6 West soon after the RRT was called to see if my stroke team coworker Alison needed my assistance. Upon my arrival, Alison was assessing the patient, effectively communicating with the team and the provider (Dr.Terefe). Also, right away she initiated Emergency standing orders following benzodiazepine administration.
I volunteered at San Joaquin Community Hospital Emergency Department in Bakersfield, California for 3-4 hours a week for two-and-a-half years. While volunteering in the ED, I helped the cleaning staff clean rooms and beds for incoming patients, I restocked rooms with needed supplies, I talked with patients who needed someone to talk to, I helped staff call patients from the Emergency Department waiting room, and I cleaned commonly touched objects such as: door handles, counters, computer keyboards, and hand rails. I also helped in the gift shop if the volunteer supervisor needed someone to cover someone who may have become sick. In the gift shop I restocked items, helped customers find certain items, and worked at the cash register. While
An interview question that was discussed was about safety on nurses to patient’s ratio on the unit. Celia is concerned on this topic. Celia discussed how on Monday’s and Tuesdays on our floor,
The first observation I had when entering the unit was how strong the sense of community was among clinical team members. Each morning begins with a meeting with the OT (and two COTAs), social workers, head nurse, psychologist and unit manager to go over what happened during the PM shift and identify priorities for the day. I had never observed in a setting that met daily before. The professionals care about each other; I heard teasing and questions about each other’s weekend. They also clearly cared about their patients.
Emergency care has always been an important part of history all over the world. It has been said that medical assistance has been around and prevalent since as far back as 1500 B.C. Around the 1700’s is when EMS systems first began to experience large advancements, and ever since then, the field continues to grow and improve every year.

EMTs and paramedics are the people that respond to 9-1-1 calls for emergency medical assistance such as CPR or bandaging wounds. EMTs and paramedics have many other tasks and responsibilities, they are responsible for assessing a patients and being able to decide the kind of treatment that is needed. EMTs and paramedics are required to help the patient transfer to the hospital and to report their observations of the patient and the treatments given to them to the staff. EMTs and paramedics also have to create a patient care report, documenting the medical care that had been given to the patient. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics / Occupational Outlook Handbook, believe it or not the EMTs and paramedics themselves have to replace the supplies that were used and check to if the equipment is in need of cleaning after use (“What They Do”). I chose
EMT and Paramedics have an important job in saving lives of millions of people. As part of their job they must respond to 9-11 calls in cases of emergencies, such as emergency medical assistance like (CPR) cardiopulmonary resuscitation, bandaging a wound, or if a someone needs to be rushed to an Hospital for immediate care. An EMT/Paramedic must transport a patient safely while one drives an ambulance and another keeps check of the patient’s vital sign and additional care, but if a patient is critically ill or injured they need to be transported by helicopter. Also to transport a patient to another medical facility for certain treatment that the facility specializes in or long-term care like Nursing homes. In this job field there are three levels of EMTs and Paramedics. First is EMT or EMT-Basic in which they access
According to Freeman (2014:8), professional nurses have different expectations between trauma nursing and the reality of the challenges they face in this speciality. Their expectation is working in a safe and therapeutic environment, while building trust with the patients and family to be respected and treated with dignity, instead they felt disrespected, not appreciated and they are being over-worked. In Gauteng a cross-sectional study was done in a sample of 323 Emergency workers, to study the occupational stress experienced by emergency workers (Naude, 2006:75), he stated that occupations stress leads to depersonalisation and emotional stress therefore decreasing the productivity of an individual in the
Yesterday was my eighth visit at the Woodhaven Care Center. The first two hours of my day were spent running from room to room checking on patients to see if they were ready for treatment. Unlike prior weeks were I helped an average of 3 to 4 patients this week my lead was only one. I spent a majority of time motivating tired patients to come with me to the treatment area, watching and other staff with their patients. The highlight of my day was when I get to meet a second year student from our CCAC PTA program. She provided me with her insight in the program along with things she has been introduced. I found value in our talk and plan to add to my bag of tricks as I continue through the program and my ultimate goal the workforce. Today was
Having to comply with the Emergency Medical System workers was our biggest obstacle. My research paper featured an interview where I was able to meet separately with an EMT at a school event; however, getting a hold of an EMT or paramedic while at work was difficult. There were not

My first day of clinical was more of an orientation to floor. My preceptor orientated me to the unit by showing me where everything was at for both safety and emergency reasons. This week I took care of care two patients, but my focus was on one patient because the other patient was on comfort care. I did physical assessments on both patients and I administered IV and NG tube medications. I started an IV on one patient on the unit and I performed blood draws on other patients on the unit. I suctioned my patients. I prioritized my patients based on acuity. One of my patients was in ARDs due to Gillian-barre syndrome and the other on was on comfort care. I demonstrated professionalism by showing up on time and asking questions when we were out of the patients’ rooms. I demonstrated safe nursing practice by performing hand hygiene, adjusting the beds to my height and administered medication when my preceptor was in the room.
