After you complete the didactic, 3-4 days at their site in Texas for skills and then after completing that you do a trip or trips to Houston, Dallas or San Antonio for 96 hours of clinicals. If I get the 911 gig I applied for I feel like the medics would be pretty supportive in mentoring me...

Maybe we run in different circles? I'm just pointing out that with changing patient populations those are areas I feel, at least in the areas I've worked, where training/education has lacked and would be beneficial as part of a degree. As someone else pointed out getting away from a purely...

Thanks!

I think any degree for a line medic would have to branch out of the typical trauma and medical care that's currently the curriculum. Those core skills would certainly be the backbone but I think a degree that incorporates elements of mental health and crisis intervention, addiction issues, aging...

I'm not disagreeing with staffing issues but the attitude that pre-hospital medical staff don't need any more education or a higher degree of education is ridiculous. As was stated earlier, the makeup and support for EMS varies so widely across the US it's hard to imagine how you could...

That's it ? 🤣

https://www.rchealthservices.com/index.html I just started looking myself. I'm looking at that program. I'd have to look at the email they sent but IIRC its around 6-8 months to complete. Once the online is done you go out to Texas to interview with the program staff and do skills. Then you'll...

The one I remember getting me was rolling up on a DOA and watching the dog grieve.

Looking at my next round of education and found this program based in Texas that would work great with my schedule. Just curious if anyone has taken classes with them and general thoughts. https://www.rchealthservices.com/index.htm

Won't happen if the fire unions have their say.

In mine I had protocol and map book, extra ear tips for my stethoscope, OTC meds like pepto, excedrin and sleeve and some snacks.

Ha!

First as a student was a fall from standing with clavicle fx. First IFT was a bari lift assist. First 911 as a cadet was an OD. First 911 after being released was a full arrest.

Have to love working holidays. Originally off but have no family in state and the better half was scheduled to work so I picked up a shift at the ER. 40 minutes into shift the other tech goes, "so we're going to have a mass cal"...uh real world or drill? Bus flipped and we're the only trauma...

^ A&E has a fantastic series on Pedro

As a Cleveland fan that's cute.

Finishing up my IV class in Denver. We did our live sticks today to finish up the class portion before our clinical day. Really happy to get 2 good sticks on the 1st attempt for each.

Find your state EMS page, it should have a listing of all agencies that are liscensed to provide medical transport. From there just Google and see if you can find a page for that agency and an employment section. I've found a lot of EMS agencies post job announcements in Facebook, so its...

Any Coloradans have rental suggestions in the southeast near Pueblo? Got a job offer, now it's figuring out all the logistics of moving cross country. :oops:

Got ROSC on an OD; a job offer as a tech in a level 2 trauma ED and work is giving me a lifesaver or something off a call from last year. It's been a good week.
