Hi,
I have a EMT license in New Jersey. I never took any CEUs and I never volunteered. My license expires in 2014. Is there a way that I could "catch up". I am just interested in volunteering.
Thanks
Yeah, but at this point I am seriously considering letting the license go. I'm grown man with kids. I don't have time to play games. There are plenty of beard friendly professions out there and I have already began looking. I may volunteer if the beard is not an issue and If so then I have been...
I tried to edit the first post and lost the page.
Mustafa Shakoor is one of these two officers. Some brothers consider him to be a pioneer because of this case. I used to see him at the Mosque often and sometimes in uniform. I remmember praying next to him on an occasion. I don't know him...

I'm not that desperate and yes my religion IS more important than being an EMT. If I find something and I can be successful with it then fine and if not then fine. It's not like I'm unemployed or anything. Besides many people think being an EMT is a crappy job anyway because your on the front...
I have no problem treating patients and I never stated anything about treating patients. If anyone is really interested in knowing about the beard in the Islamic religion then they how use google.
For those who would like to understand more about the beard issue amongst Muslims you can watch this video. It is about a Newark police officer and his beard. I actually met him when was living in Jersey.

What is there difference in the duties of the FD EMS and private EMS? I'm just trying to get why they use different equipment like SCUBA masks. I thought the fire fighter goes into the burning building and the EMS would have an area for triage for example. I understand what is being said...
