So in 2-3 years we should see some new folks! 😂

I'm currently working 911 in Las Vegas. City fire, County fire, Metro Police, and Private ambulance all have a huge number of employees (including myself) with full sleeve and large visible tattoos. We wear short sleeve shirts and no one gives a damn. It does not affect anyone's ability to...

Thanks for making me read my reply from almost a decade ago. I can confirm in 2021 the oath mentioned is still dumb.

Norway only recently started a 3 year bachelor degree for paramedics, just a few years back. What is "PMT"? Hopefully a medical doctor if it takes 9 years. I actually ended up obtaining a paramedic license in Denmark at the time Norway's first paramedic bachelor class was starting...

Got my ID card today. The process is now complete. It took me over 2 years to onboard 🤣

Yes! Thanks

Pulled the trigger on a 15L. Neither of the ones I had mentioned above. Trying to save space upfront since I'm on system status. I'll update my feedback on the bag once I have worked with it for a month or two. Its going to be a tight fit for my stuff, but I welcome the downsize and challenge...

Bag models have changed since this thread was started. I'm replacing my 5.11 bag. Need a personal bag for 12 hour shift on an ambulance shift in a busy urban system. Gotta carry my lunch, a stethoscope, tablet / kindle, rain jacket, sunglasses, 18oz water bottle, 20oz coffee tumbler. You know...

Anyone have experience with Pelican backpacks? I know they make great hard cases but was surprised to see they made backpacks. I'm looking to try something new other than 5.11 for an EDC bag on an ambulance shift

The one I was following basically died. :-( https://www.facebook.com/International-Remote-Medic-Jobs-303908576334083/

Renewal cost is brutal. I would only get it if you're planning on flying or required by an employer. $325 (non-members) $225 (IAFCCP members). This is the reason I don't maintain any IBSC certs. That cost about twice as much as my State licence, NREMT, and CCEMTP renewal put together.

Hey Sorry to bump this old thread. AMR Vegas is hiring for paramedics with decent Bonus right now. Has anyone worked there in the past couple years that can provide updated information?

If I remember correctly, it was a lady who crashed her mobility scooter. Very USA

So far. On boarding has taken 2 years and 4 months and is still not done (ID card required, still waiting). - 12 months to process the initial application and get a tentative job offer - 16 months and counting of onboarding paperwork, training and logestical processing. This is a new record...

Yes I saw that. We got an email stating we had to buy our own uniforms haha. I'm still waiting on an ID card.

By the way the last physical exam and medical screening I had to do for a contract was no joke. Lots of labs, vaccines, xrays ECG's, physicals ect. The Doctor asked if I was becoming an astronaut. I wish...

Nah your good. Maybe after 50 some contracts might care. The big thing is if your remote or Austre and you have chronic medical conditions or aren't physically capable of basic task or coping with weather conditions. Almost all overseas contractor jobs or local expat jobs require you pass a...

Stocking up on ammo and leather BDSM gear for the impending apocalypse. Going full on Mad Max

:cool: Just ended up with a Cardiology IV. Limited Edition polished copper bell with black accents. I will not lie, it's the sexist stethoscope I have ever seen in my life. The doctors are sure to high five me and call me a hero and the nursing staff will cry and have syncopal episodes when I...

Hey Guys, For those of you who bring a personal stethoscope with you while on duty, where do you carry it? Personal Bag? Neck? Cargo Pocket? Other? I've been keeping mine in my personal bag and then shoving it in my cargo pocket if I think I'm going on a call where I need it. The problem with my...
