Action Ambulance used to, I'm talking back in 2007. But they stopped shortly in 2008. I've heard that Cataldo/Bewster has a differential for ALS for weekends but not for overnight.

For all my full time ems peeps: Aloe Blacc "I need a dollar"

That is what I figured or at least my gut told me. I figured I'd hit this forum up because typically it is a great resource.

Hey everyone, I figure I'd post this here, as this is more of an NREMT question. Forgive me if this is the wrong place. So, With all this EBOLA "stuff" going on a company (CEUfast.com) put on a 2 contact hour course on EBOLA. There was some squawk back and forth on facebook whether or not this...

Wasn't there also an issue with the partying during Katrina/Rita? I remember hearing a something about that, and the argument of "Off Duty"/"deployment" came into affect. One of the benefits of being deployed, again because AMR DRT is being used by the gov't (correct me if I'm wrong), is that...

Cat-Lantic While its true Cat-Lantic (Cataldo) won't put you in a dedicated 911 shift until you have some seniority. Try to apply and get into there "Somerville" Division. They tend to send BLS to more emergencies than most privates, and its a good mix of IFT and emergencies. Because of their...

Its the same old formula for a Judge Judy show, I just hate how she throws the EMT student thing out there, as if she would get the court case dismissed.

I'm also a full time Firefighter, EMS is my side gig. I used to do more road shifts, but now I'm getting into teaching (CPR/Lectures) a bit more (just thinking about the 5-10 year plan). That and i don't want to get a back injury on my side job. Kudos to all the Full time EMS providers, that...

I mean are we talking a full flip over the side while full height to the stretcher? Or are we talking about out of the ambulance? Falls/Drops can happen, if you hurt the patient that sucks, if you hurt or injure your partner that is also bad. But we are all human and make mistakes. Do you...

where exactly are you looking for, like we talking Northshore? Or like Ipswich? Are you near metro-boston? What experience do you have?

exactly my point! That is what I was getting at.

Okay, so just wanted to clear up a rumor. I've worked for a couple private ambulance companies here in the Commonwealth of Mass and everyone says things differently. For Non-emergent Hospital-Hospital, Nursing home discharge, Hospital to facility transfers: A Medical Necessity form is...

You can find cheaper or even free CE classes online. May I suggest MEDICED.com for online CE's. Talk to local Volly or Professional Ambulance/Fire Departments too, they can steer you in the right direction (or mentor you) on how to recert

Just wanted to second what Meursault mentioned. Cost of living in MA is really high compare to Georgia. A 1 small bedroom apartment is around 1300/month in a decent neighborhood, not including parking...and prices are going up. Since you have to be a resident of the city to live here. I know a...
