Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 I thought the PEPP class was exceptionally good and geared to the paramedics and what they do, not what AHA wants us to pay them for.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 What exactly is the PEEP class? Lee PEEP If you are a good parent, the class was WORTHLESS! I sat thru the class thinking --- this is stuff some HMO needs to give to new parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 .........and here, I thought I was teaching something worthwhile.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Pep was a enjoyable class and more than sufficiently covered my ce time needs. Sorry I cant accept the arrogant egotistical self opinionated value that has been placed on this class it is a pleasure to say thanks for you time and interest in helping other paramedics learn something they don already know and for helping the rest of us review and find out we are doing the right thing sorry some people find fault with any thing you do. name hidden for fear of criticism ( ) Silsbee EMS 114 hwy 96 south Silsbee, Tx 77656 PEEP > > > If you are a good parent, the class was WORTHLESS!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 I think that it's nice you can renew this one(PEPP) by the internet, and ACLS by the HeartCode computer program. I hope this trend continues if they won't just combine them all into one.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 I was one of the first PEPP coordinators in the nation. The post I was asking about had a subject line that said PEEP. Must have been a typo. Lee Re: PEEP Lee- PEPP is a 16 hour Pediatric Specialty course devised by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and intended for the Pre-Hospital Provider, ergo the name " Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals " . Visit the PEPP webpage at www.peppsite.com for the whole enchilada. Regards- TerryD EMTPEMSIPEPPIPGDMEIEIO PEEP If you are a good parent, the class was WORTHLESS!
