    Non-practicing EMT

    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

    National Registry for international EMS employment

    Is it a good idea to take the National Registry exam if I would like to work overseas some day? My state does not use the National Registry. Thanks

    Am I in the wrong field?

    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...

    Well, I'll just try to volunteer and we'll see from there. Like I said, I'm not that desperate. I have a job.

    Am I in the wrong field?

    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 don't think there is much of a market for alternative masks.

    Am I in the wrong field?

    A clarification I was advised by a friend that I should go ahead and explain the beard issue. I was hesitant because I am not the best at explaining things. But here it goes: Allah, the Creator, revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) to order the Muslim men to grow their beards and...

    Am I in the wrong field?

    I forgot to mention that my beard is rather small compared to some others I know. I know Muslims with BIG beards who work in all kinds of professions such as police officers, doctors, computer geeks, I can go on and on. The same thing goes for many Jewish people as well as Sikhs and many are...

    Am I in the wrong field?

    Yes I applaud all EMTs. If I was not serious about it then I would not have spent hours studying and money going back and forth to class. It took almost a year to get the license because my school spread the classes out. Ironically, it was a Muslim who was a former EMT who gave me the idea. He...

    Am I in the wrong field?

    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...

    Am I in the wrong field?

    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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxNKVKc5F0s

    Am I in the wrong field?

    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...
