everything is glorified in some way, good or bad.

this is my plan and it's gonna be hard, since it completely goes against my personality type.

this department has stated they are always looking for volunteers. Working is not an option. Too young. Can't move on to paramedic without experience in my area. As of this post it's been more like a month of trying to communicate effectively. there are emts in the area, but they are in...

getting sick of playing phone tag with these guys. I know the ems and fire chief are paid, and they still won't return my calls. repeating processes of calling, maybe getting someone on the line, and then hearing they will call me back. They continue to not return my calls. I have gone down...

It's been exactly 4 months since I got my license, and I still am not on a volunteer sqaud. Can't work because I am too young and have two tickets. Good luck. It's a real pain. My training is going to waste right now. You would think volunteering to help people wouldn't be so difficult...

avoid getting drunk and shouting out, "this song sucks!"

This can be applied to any workplace. If I were you, I would wait it out a bit, until you are more well known and respected by the more sane people at the company. After a period of time, if your partner is still being rude and unprofessional, then file a complaint or request a new partner if...

Awesome. I hope you can get some Basic experience. I am struggling to at the moment, but maybe I am just impatient. that reminds me...."Always be 'patient' with your psych patients." - my emt teacher. Good luck with the class. Hope it goes well. Two very different fields.

Thanks Rid, They did say they are always looking for volunteers. And the second time I called I did receive a voicemail from the ems chief encouraging me to apply, so I did and never heard back. Maybe they won't hire me for whatever reason, but at least let me know. should have said this in...

I am really starting to get discouraged. It's been over 3 months since I got my license and I still keep calling the volunteer squad in my area, to which I sent my application in over 2 weeks ago. The fire administrator told me to call him back today, and naturally I get a voicemail. I left a...

that's awful. poor guy. how would you like your brains on some dirty tires? this is why I will never ride a motorcycle.

awesome, time to change that training level in your profile!

McCay, a 13-year veteran who has been with Boston EMS for 3 1/2 years, had just gone off duty, and when the call came in, he briefly considered driving past the scene of the shooting. "You don't know what's going on," he said. "A scene like that, it can become very, very difficult to...

Even though I took the CBT version, the review book that I got was very beneficial. It helped me see the types of questions that were given on the CBT. Usually, two answers you'll be able to knock off right away and two will be plausible answers. What I did was do the review book, and studied...

Just wanted to say hi again. Currently trying to volunteer with one of my city's suburbs. They require 12 hours a week which is good for me because I work 30 hours a week and am taking 18 credits this semester. Took the advice of everyone and one of my classes is medical terminology online...
