I am a paramedic with around 8 years experience (3+ in 911 settings). I am accepting a travel paramedic position with Acadian Ambulance (Austin/Central Texas Region) I am coming from out of state and know very little about the EMS system in Central TX. Can anyone shed light on how Acadian does...

The 'Higher education' system failed me, EMS saved me Hello, I find this thread very interesting. I have tossed around various ideas expressed by you all since I started my paramedic education. I started my college education straight out of high school (like all the guidance counselors...
