Nice to meet so many fitness fanatics like myself!!! My husband will be starting a personal trainer program so I'm hoping to amp up my game. Cardio is no issue for me. I actually enjoy it but the strength training is my challenge. Hopefully having a in home trainer will be the boost I need to...

Howdy!! Nice to meet ya'll!!! I am a happily married mother of two beautiful daughters. I have been in the Air Force and a NREMT-B since 2014. Earned my Associates in EMS (Paramedic)/Healthcare Management through Gordon Cooper Tech and Oklahoma Panhandle State U. 1.5 years of full time...

Hi :cool:

For the Air Force and Navy it knocks off about 8 weeks of the 16ish week phase 1 program. That was back in 2014 when I went through. I am still a AD AF paramedic in the ER and I can ask a couple of the newer medics that just graduated or the phase two students. I'm on nights right now so it may...

When I went through paramedic school and working full time as a civilian EMT, before I joined the Air Force, I also struggled. I gained like 20 pounds in the beginning:( It really sneaks up on ya. I felt absolutely terrible! So what I started doing was eating oatmeal with a banana or apple for...

An actual course. I am not currently a CCT paramedic, just a NREMT paramedic. I want to learn as much as I can but I haven't been able to find any here. Which is odd because there's such a high population of EMS here but little educational opportunities. In reality, LV has very little to offer...

Has anyone heard of any Critical Care paramedic courses in the Las Vegas area? I’ve looked online and nothing really pops up. Or I know that we have the option to just sit for the test, does anyone have any good resources on studying for the test?

I noticed that trend. The military does it to save money but it has the potential to hurt us down range cause we don't always have the properly trained man power while deployed. I have also heard rumors that they're going to fully get rid of the Air Force Fire all together but I also heard that...

Haha Idk what's up with the Millenial stuff but.... thanks for the advise everyone! I will def look into those other degrees and weigh my options. I have a vague idea of what I want but I'm a lil unsure of how to get there. I'm active duty Air Force paramedic but my goal is to either cross train...

Yea, I knew it took a while so I wanted to get started on my degree while I wait instead of waiting til it was time to promote cause that doesn't make sense but I wasn't sure which degree would be best since there isn't a EMS or Fire specific one that I know of. This was the closest one I found...

Has anyone heard of the Bachelors of Technology in Emergency Responder Administration Program at Oklahoma State University at the OK City campus? I think it's suppose to be a mix between business management and emergency/disaster management. I was just wondering if it was a good degree. Has...

There's Clark County Fire and there is also Las Vegas Fire and Rescue, they have ambulances that they do take on calls but rarely transport unless EMS is unavailable (rarely like once a week or so). AMR and Medic West are owned by the same company but MW has slightly better benefits. MW is more...

Thank you everyone!!! I will look into all those resources!!!

Are there any gym or workout addicts out there? I work out on a regular basis but I'm looking to amp it up and was wondering if there was anyone out there that would be interested in starting a motivation group (I guess it could be called) to discuss new exercises and tips for eating healthy on...

I feel like there is alot more that I need to learn about EKGs. Of course, I know all the basics of reading them but I want to learn more about the physiology behind what I'm seeing and what other kind of rhythms that are out there. I just want to broaden my understanding all around. What is a...
