Does anyone have experience with FEMA EMS Grant writing? What were some of the things said? I am looking to help my squad grow with equipment.

If you advertise you are an EMT, you do not have to act. Even if you do have EMT plates. Why, is it safe for you to control the scene? Plus, you are under the insurance of your company or ambulance squad. If you act on your own, you are at will to your pocket. I would suggest that you at least...

Most of the EMT training has changed. I don't know what it is for CLS and Medic. NJ is mostly ran by Paramedics and Nurses who think most emt's are too stupid to do chest tubes. We can't even get them to give us LMA's. We can assist with some medications and everything we do, has to be a...

Well, I have to wait. The just changed the entire EMS protocols for NJ. I'll check NY's. Thats the only Paramedic program NJ follows, that I know. But it's a college course here.

A CFR or Certified First Responder are basically police and fire. They are trained in putting oxygen on and C-Spine stabilization. One an Ambulance, they can only do as directed with instructions. Basically, it's the person who said "can I help". Again, the civilian EMS is the same as the...

Read the answers, then read the questions... Read the answers again and get rid of the two that doesn't work, if you haven't already. Read the question again, if you are unsure and pick from the two you have left. Just remember the order of how you would do patient care. If it has passed a step...

CLS/EMT/Medic Ok, that is the same as First Responder, EMT-B and EMT-P or Paramedics. The difference isnt much. Just a few classes. I like the CLS course, cause it saves me from having to do IV's or a lot of work. I love Paramedics cause they still have to do all the work. So, if you ask me, I...
