Got to see a migraine mimic a stroke this past tour.

I don't think it is, I'm just pointing out the applicant's perspective. I've been on both sides of the hiring process. Hiring is objective and subjective. I don't think its unreasonable to suggest that the objective factors of the process be clearly articulated.

I could have been more clear in my post. I've only hit one roadblock, nothing was mentioned of lacking any particular credential. Only that they had passed due to me still being out of state, were still impressed with my experience and encouraged me to reapply in a future hiring. I've just...

...to think I just resurrected this to see if there's any leads.

You've clearly missed the point of what I've said. I don't disagree with you when an application clearly states it as a requirement to apply. My response was to Tiggers comment about it helping to have it at the time of application. If that's what a company wants then advertise as such. But...

It's frustrating because it's not advertised as such. If an employer wants that completed as part of an application than list it, especially a course/cert that is specific to a state and unavailable elsewhere unlike ITLS, PEPP,TCCC, NIMS or AHA BLS.

I understand, I guess that's part of my frustration. If the behind the scenes expectation is the applicant to have it at application vs. Upon hire or within x days then advertise as such. Especially if it's specific to the state. It's not like the ink on my EMT card is still wet.

I've found it depends on the employer. UC Health wants it at application where others are happy to have it by hire or within a few months.

Getting ROSC on my thread Starting to apply, put in applications at 9 different hospitals so far and just looking to see if anyone had any leads. I'm coming out in July for my IV course and looking to move/start sometime August-September this year. Already hit one roadblock on getting passed...

I picked up a probe thermometer at Target for $ 14-15 that's worked great. And it's TSA approved.

Try reverse sear. Only way I'll do mine. Nice thick ribeye, pat dry and salt a night or two before cooking. Leave open in the fridge. Then 275 f until it hits your ideal temp, I've been pulling mine at 122-123. Resting for 8-10 minutes while I finish cooking whatever else then pan seared for a...

Speaking as an EMT in a 911: 1) As others said, learn your area. Also learn how to drive the rig so you're not tossing your partner around the back. 2) Know your protocols and anticipate how your medic likes to run things. On our more serious medical calls if we have fire on helping with stair...

Woke up to an email from work letting me know I'm losing my station assignment and partner and being put in our float pool on the opposite shift key. Sucky start to the day.

^ o trust me, I'm learning very much about the cost of living out there.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions, should add I'm looking more at places I'm likely to get hired on as an EMT.

So my Guard unit isn't letting me SUTA my March drill to come out for Denver Health's IV course. I'd like to make the most of the vacation time I've got out there that month. Anyone know of any of the services that would let me ride along for part of a shift or at the very least have an admin/HR...

My IFT - despite the week-long weather forecast - has no snow plan and we are snowed in. They just asked if anyone at the base had cash to pay a plow driver.

Appreciated the SNF helping us get our patient on the cot. Until I had to untie the cot strap from the side rail and buckle it appropriately.

2nd time getting ROSC!

We're busier than I thought we would be.
