EMT II

Work in the heart of #humankindess at CHI Carrington Health.

As our EMT II, you'll provide professional and compassionate care to a variety of patients encountered in a multidisciplinary pre-hospital/hospital setting.

You'll work with patient population groups which include children, adolescents, adults, and geriatrics, occasionally dealing with multiple patients or population groups simultaneously. The EMT performs and documents assessments and treatments; individualizes patient care and ensures that interventions are made appropriately and according to policy; identifies needs that may include supervising the transfer of patients to a different facility or level of care.

As our EMT II, you'll provide direct patient care; administers medications within their scope of practice, utilizing the five (5) Patient Rights; identifies significant changes or high risk situations; completes all documentation in a timely manner; demonstrates knowledge and use of equipment encountered in the ambulance department or in hospital; communicates patient status at transfer of care; adjusts own workload as needed; assess, identifies, and communicates staffing needs to Ambulance Manager.

You're responsible for the supervision and safety of other, less trained staff, and coordinates the patient care with ancillary departments involved in either direct or indirect patient care. Treatment is accomplished through the guidelines established by the Standing Orders, Medical Director and ND State Guidelines.
