Personally, I would peruse a management degree of some sort. Getting a college degree in the same discipline as your formal training has severe limitations in the real world. Management training/ skills are needed as you progress through your career. Start thinking about the future/ future needs...

I have always been curious to see who my fellow veterans are on EMT Life. I have five generations of military in my family and I have a huge affinity for veterans. So please take the time to sound off and introduce yourselves: Screen Name: Military Branch: Military Occupation: Dates of...

I always hear these crazy methods people employ to drop weight. Its not rocket science, and I recently lost 40lbs in 10 months: Here is how I did it: Breakfast: (Shake) 1/2 cup Milk (2%) 1/4 cup of Pedilite 1 cup of protein powder Lunch: Chicken Brest cover with olive oil and Tony Chacheres...

I have another buddy who is a Paramedic in the National Guard. He told me his training in the Army only got him a NREMT-B certificate which I thought was weird.

Nothing I did in the military carried over civilian. I got 6 units at my community college in Physical Education/ Elective credit for completing basic training. With that being said, I have a friend who was a Nuclear something or other in the US Navy, and he walked into a stationary engineer...

Thanks for the input, I'm having a difficult time with this one . . . I have 6 years of military experience and two degrees under my belt, yet my job prospects are slim. I'm just trying to make the most out of my next move so I'm moving forward instead of backwards. . .

I'm looking for a reserve opportunity in the Air Force that will get me my EMT-B and compliment my ultimate goal ob eventually obtaining my EMT-P and going into flight medic. I'm already prior service and I finished my bachelors degree last year. If I was a few years younger, I'd enlist as a PJ...

Does anyone here have the skinny on the US Air Force's Aerospace Medical Service? It appears like a jack-of-all- trades/ master of none career field. What type of certifications, if any, do you receive that translate over to the civilian world? I was looking into Aeromedical Evacuation, but it...

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but I got out of Iraq in late 2004. I didn't get the military until 2008, but during that time I drained my GI Bill and received two degree's for my trouble. Thanks Uncle Sam! I do miss the military, I've been considering going back into the reserves...

What is your experience with these iPhone applications? Do they work? Is there one that you'd recommend over another application? Was the information helpful when studying for the NREMT exam?

I went through the Police Academy at the Santa Rosa Junior College which shares the same campus as the Paramedic program. Their program is 12 months long and its a FULL TIME program (Mon-Fri., 0800 to 1700 hrs). They require you complete a 4 unit Anat/Physio, 3 unit medical terminology course...

It makes alot of sense, and I just didn't know that was the fact and I wanted to pass it along here. You learn something new everyday.

Being that I work for a hospital, and I deal with incoming patient's who are flown into my facility, I have interesting interactions/ conversations from time to time. I was talking to a veteran pilot with a company that employees both a Flight RN & and Flight Medic, and I asked him why they...

:o . . . . . :rofl:

I was gone for a while but now I'm back and I just wanted to drop by and say hello. I started a new job a few months ago as an ER Technician and I just finished my bachelors degree so I have been busy as hell. :beerchug:
