Ems Ride Experience Report
EMS Ride Along Experience EMS ride along was a really good experience spent at Warren Fire Department, Station number 3. I had the opportunity to spend a day riding along with one of Advanced Life Support Squads while they provided vital emergency medical care to the citizens of Warren, MI. The station’s number 3 squad had talented and professional Firefighters/Paramedics. All were welcomed to the student nurses form Davenport University, Warren. They were friendly, professional, and ready to ask questions that I had. They made my experience an informative and enjoyable one. After I meet the crew in the morning they went into a more detailed check to show me exactly where everything is in the ambulance. This experience will help me in my future

    My introduction to emergency room nursing was during my senior year as a nursing student, as a patient care technician. Even though some days were trying and there was a lot of learning to be had, I almost immediately knew this is where I belonged.

The challenges of working in a high volume emergency department, caring for a diverse and complex patient population have been abundant. Emergency nursing is my passion and I am driven by the opportunity to expand my knowledge base and nursing practice.…

    It’s pretty much common sense that without members, there wouldn’t be an Organization. Or there could be one, where there only would be two to five members. But what reform can a group of five members bring, as opposed to what a group of hundreds or maybe thousands of students can? When make the National Organization of Collegiate American Students Needing Help (NOCASH), I would first look for people that share the same interest as me, that would be willing to become members, by putting up posters and giving out fliers that have our mission statements, easy to understand and explained, on it. Then comes the tricky part: Money. Without the funds, it is less likely that we would be able to succeed. With the members we have, we would make membership dues for about 3 to 5 dollars a person, and engage in direct mail solicitation to raise money, though that is less likely to achieve anything.…

    There was always a desire in me to opt for a profession in which I could contribute to the society and help the people in need. What better way to do this than to be a paramedic who tirelessly works to aid people in distress. On joining this profession, one must learn to apply theoretical knowledge that to clinical and field situations. One must also learn many procedures and constantly update those skills. No day is a routine day. Every day, the shifts are different, the locations changed and clinical scenarios unique. The work pertains to attending calls such as trauma, cardiac and respiratory emergencies, substance overdose and many other situations and every call teaches some lesson. Apart from providing clinical help, paramedics have to act as efficient organisers and counsellors. Paramedics are often relied upon to control and direct emergency situations, this responsibility and challenging tasks is what draws me to become a practicing paramedic.…

    • 6 Pages

    On a typical day, a paramedic will respond to 9-1-1 calls. They may be taking a little old lady with hip pain to the hospital or rushing someone to the emergency room who's in cardiac arrest. They have to quickly but thoroughly assess the patient to determine injuries/illnesses and the severity of them. They are going to provide first aid and critical care to the sick and injured. They may also transfer people from one medical facility to another. After the patient is taken care of and is where they need to be, the paramedics are going to have to do paperwork and document what happened and what they did. They are going to also have to clean the interior of the ambulance to get rid of any blood or germs that could contaminate the next patient. They are going to have to wipe down things such as the gurney and the blood pressure cuff. Paramedics are going to restock anything that they might have used on a call to ensure that there is enough of whatever supply they may have used so that it can be ready for the next time that they need it. Most of the time, a paramedic is going to work in either a 12 hour shift or a 24 hour shift, and work on average about 40 hours a…
