What's going on....how can I help?

That all depends on where you are working. In AZ, the highest level of care needs to be in the back of the ambulance with a patient. Therefore you don't really drive. So in a sense, yes that is true. Other states, that work a dual medic system, clearly it would be a major factor.

Hey Jack, although you may have some points, these companies allow a certain number. Not sure what it is. The only major thing they won't allow employment is with DUI's or wreckless driving. Don't quote me on this, but you may be able to have up to 8 points on your license and still get a job...

I'm sure everyone knows this about Fentanyl, but it is a BP neutral med. Yes there are times when the BP drops, but it's usually in conjunction with another med or underlying problem. I read in an earlier post about the use of Narcan. Yes this will reverse the issue. My recommendation though is...

I left the state because of lack of opportunity for good growth. If you don't mind working on an ambulance, there are only 2 major ones. Southwest Ambulance and PMT ambulance. I would recommend that route. It at least gets your face into the hospitals, and as you become a regular face, you might...

Jack, I lived in Phoenix for 6 years. I work as a flight medic. I can tell you it is very difficult to get an ER tech job in the greater Phx area. I couldn't get hired even with 11 years as a medic from a busy system. They almost all require that you be a paramedic. Almost all require you have...

There actually is a big difference between a cert program and a license program. I worked in AZ. Came from MI. Example, typical AZ medic course usually about 14 months, 1 day a week of class. Then clinical hours, not that many. Licensed programs - at least i can speak of the one i went through...

997 who are you? Clearly you are there. Are you on the ground?

We are all professionals here. Hubbly thank you. But i'm gonna speak my mind because i have that right. I won't degrade anyone or use profanity. Just speaking the truth. It seems some may still be blind to what actually happened out there. We are trying to spread the word. That's it. Looking out...

I still drink kool -aid (red) hmmmmm hmmmmm good! but it's still rubberish as all heck! you must be out of your mind to say it's like any other country when there is a change of command. Open your eyes and see what the real world looks like

I've said it's ended..for now..it's possible all this could turn around and everything works out. It's just a waiting game at this point. The king requested this program and won't let it fail. I'm not sure if he is aware of the events that have taken place. Everyone will do what's in their best...

Alright, lots of stuff happened in a very short amount of time out there. True, we have not been paid. Not sure why, but we are told that the company was not paid. And when a company is not paid for a numerous amount of months, it's a little tough to make payroll. Now i'm not saying i agree with...

I vouch for NJ Hey Travis, when you say NJ was not KSA, you are most wrong. I have just returned from working there and I had the pleasure of working with him. He is indeed on his 30 day off rotation. So when i speaks of what's going on, this is not heresay. Plus, you would not say anything bad...

HEY! this isn't about me! it's about RANDY...lol....nice one though

if you'd like to be in my memoirs....all you gotta do is ask!
