Honestly man. The fire departments look a lot for private experience from local providers. Maybe even more so now with them looking to get into the transport business. I would apply at the privates again and accept any position offered if you truly want to get into the field. Most of the...

As an emt I would hold off on als skill courses unless my company sponsored me through them. There are plenty of resources for emts to gain more knowledge of what you are seeing on a strip and many times your medic partner (at least my partners) won't mind explaining some stuff to you. As for...

I worked for southwest in Mesa and even with the reputation rural metro has I loved my job. I only left for more security but now that amr owns rural it was pretty much a moot point. Apply apply apply man, it took me 7 months between when i applied and interviewed to when I was formally hired...

Personally I always let my national lapse and only get it back if I need it for something. It's always felt easier to me than maintaining it. My understanding for Nremt is that, past 2 years lapsed, as long as you have an active state certification (and possibly must be working as well) you...

Dude forget pro EMT-trauma surgeon. I think you could be a legit psychologist. Oh but on a serious note, don't take yourself so seriously man or you're not gonna last in this field. And toughen up some, no one here wishes anything but success for you in your career but busting chops is part of...

Southwest uses zoll e series (along with Mesa fire). RMFD uses Phillips. AMR here uses the lp15 which connects via Bluetooth to tablets.

I just want to say that I would give anything to be a part timer at this fantasy op. Seems like a great way to deal with frequent fliers and fight burnout.

Or when on these calls and the family follows you in their vehicle to the hospital.

I follow the stronglifts 5x5 for my gym workout, then at home I purchased a keg that I filled about 3/4 with water and use for lifting and carrying odd objects. I think you may be onto something great.

Too many cooks?

Your resume looks good. One thing is many agencies are placing a much heavier emphasis on customer service these days. Don't be afraid to go heavy on your customer service experience in you previous roles.

As a BLS provider I had a question. When dropping a et tube into a pt and you miss on your first attempt, why pull out the tube instead of just dropping another one in then removing the missed tube?(or leaving it in place) It seems like if you missed your first shot but have now sealed off the...

Stick with it!

First I was a volly firefighter/EMT, then rural/metro, currently AMR I also do fire line medical and special events through another company

Is this a homework question? All of your post kinda have that homework question vibe to them.

Are you in a van or a box? If a van you should be able to rent something comparable from somewhere like uhaul and set up some cones to practice the maneuvers that are giving you trouble.

I had checked out your app a few months back and found that it seemed to be more geared towards the med student crowd (which is very interesting but beyond the scope of most field practitioners) rather than the nursing and/or prehospital environments. Do you have any current or planned...

Why not just take a weekend refresher course?

Just a point of clarification. Do you mean first responder engine as in no BLS or ALS personnel or first on scene? Either way I see my unit as having a duty to act for both patients being that we are on duty and on scene. Assuming my unit is now the only unit on scene with BLS/ALS capabilities...
