Am looking to take a phlebotomy course in NYC or central Jersey. Does anyone have any leads? I can pretty much only take evening classes. Thanks.

Robb Totally agree. I try looking up the meds that the patient is taking as well as understanding what medics are doing. If you have any specific ideas or suggestions on how to advance your knowledge that can be accomplished when riding on a day to day basis I'd love to hear them! Thanks

Thanks all. Medscape seems like the best option. Uptodate seems like a paid option and is maybe for more of a hospital setting while I need it as an EMT just to do a quick review on the way to calls.

Am wondering if anyone has come across a website to look up questions. For example if u want to look up the symptoms of a heat stroke or review how to apply a tourniquet etc. Currently I reference my text book, but there's gotta be a website geared for EMS to use. Thanks

I'm gonna do that - but if there's no online option, I'm not going to bother asking. Bringing it up is not good in the first place, if you know what I mean......... Thanks!

I did see that - but it sort of seemed like it was a method for the squad to administer the program - not a way for individuals to become CEVO certified. I will email them and double check. Thanks for the link.

Actualy we've gone through driving training at the squad - just not CEVO. So they may be ok with an online version. Thanks

Hey - don't take me for that big of a moron ;-). I did ask one guy and he said that they did not do any hands on at his squad. Maybe his instructor just wanted to get home early that night..... Thanks though - I'll ask around some more.

Hi, My squad (in NJ) is requiring us to become CEVO certified (EMT), and I would rather not have to go to their training. (It is going to be 2 nights - about 3 hours each ). Does anyone know If I can take it online? Another alternative would be spending a Sunday doing it - if there is a...

Thanks everyone for your input! Just to clarify so that you understand where I'm coming from; the reason I took the course was in order to better be able to treat and help a family member. As such, I do not necessarily need to join a squad the same way others who become emt's want to join the...

Hi I tried PMing you, but the system won't let since I have not posted five posts yet. Go figure. I'm in Ocean County, and it does not seem to me like any of the surrounding townships such as Howell, Jackson, Lakewood, Brick etc are specifically looking for volunteers. I would either like...

Hi I am just about to complete the emt course I'm taking, and am looking for a way to put the skills to use. The reason I took the emt course is because of a sick family member and I was hoping that by being an emt, it would be all around useful. In order to keep up (or more accurately, gain)...
