My primary background was in Emergency Medical Services as an EMT and later a paramedic. In my time there I have most recently served as training officer for my company. I was chief of EMS for the department for a few years prior to going to nursing school. I have been an RN for several years and branched out into podcasting for nurses after many of my EMS podcast listeners asked me to create a similar show for those who were branching into nursing as well. My primary love is emergency medical care both in the field and in the E.D. I also have a B.A. in broadcast communications and worked for many years when I was younger in the film and video production world which is where I developed my interest in mass media and broadcast journalism. I will tighten up on my jargon while passing along information. Thanks for calling me on that. Josephine,

I wonder what your credentials are? As the 'podmedic' I think medic or EMT, but I think I've heard you mention nursing before. Could you present your credentials at the beginning of each episode? Medical specifics, lengths of time, specialty or field of experience. I can't tell where you are coming from and might better understand you if I knew your experience level. I'd also like to know if you currently work full time or part time and in what setting. Perhaps it would have been TMI for the show or length, but I thought it would have been appropriate to mention some to many of the drugs which are high risk to be damaging to the tissues when infusing IV. This would have helped me put my finger on a button there. One more thing, I hear you saying vague things like 'and stuff like that' and/or similar remarks. As this is an educational show I think that kind of takes away from the educational part of it. Stuff like what? Can you be more specific? Again, thanks for your show. I really enjoy listening and look forward to what you might cover next. Jaime,
