We are going to TX in May and I was just curious how it would be on a different service and then next year we are going to WI.

I am curious about how other EMS in different states work. I am wondering if I visit another state say like TX would I be able to maybe be on an ambulance ride along for a shift or two?

The test had a lot of different questions. Cardic, medical, trauma, ob peds, airway, ambulance operations. It was not an adaptive test like my basic was so if I missed a question in an area I was not given another one from the same area. I had 136 questions and all of them had to be answered. I...

Well I took my test and it did not go well. I did not pass. Taking it pretty hard, not sure if I am going to try again or not. :(

thank you and I def will let you know how it goes.

Scheduled to take my NR AEMT test on Thursday. The format is totally different from my Basic test. I know 3 that have taken and passed it.

I completely agree with you and I have other thoughts on it too but will have to get on a soap box to discuss those thoughts

So just curious if you think EMS will get a raise when minimum wage is raised?

First started wanting to be on the fire dept b/c of a MVC I helped out on as a bystander. Being on a volunteer dept I was told I needed to be a first responder too. I had waited and waited for first responder courses to be offered and none came up. My gf who was also on the fire dept told me...

My first thoughts exactly. What if the patient isn't bleeding?

I am sure we all have those calls we will never forget. Well I had one over the weekend. Deputies get paged out for a welfare check, deputies tell dispatch an ambulance is needed, ambulance dispatched for elderly man needing to go to hospital to be checked out. We roll. We get to the residence...

Is there anything wrong with sharing on here any calls we had?
