    New York State emt-B renewal

    Hello all, I am returning from the shadows, and I’ve come to the time to renew my feet for reciprocity sake, I was wondering if distance cme credits found here: https://www.distancecme.com/course/24-hour-emt-b-transition-program/?portfolioID=1314 Would be valid, and if anybody has taken them...

    Non-driving EMT?

    I worked as an emt-B on a critical care rig for a moderate amount of time. I drove once I think(I however fall under the 1-3% others mentioned). This was a county sheriff run ambulance, an EMR drove, EMT and CC-P were in the back. Definitely exist just take a bit of research. Good luck OP

    Part time EMTs and Paramedics

    i did a little.. I took 3 or 4 shifts as a dual EMT-B rig. Honestly I thought the CC-P stuff was harder, because i was never trained with that. Like that first day I had to learn on the fly what the meds were and stuff like that because basics don't know that, or aren't taught that. VERY easy to...

    Part time EMTs and Paramedics

    I was a part time employee in EMS. With parole as my main gig(fitness wasn't an issue), and my skills were kept to a minimum of state level(I like to think I was a bit better in all honesty). I worked on a 3 person critical care rig, usually being an assistant to a CC-P provider in the back...

    For EMS managers.

    I agree with all of what @akflightmedic has said. I manage well over 200 people(not in EMS), but you have to directly address it, and not try to hide it(don’t give info away). But say something like: yes this happened, if you want to know why or are concerned with the route we are going feel...

    Internal Communication Website

    my list would go: Skype for business Cisco Spark- being renamed/rebranded to cisco webex GroupMe(Very very easy to manage, but it's strictly messaging, very minimal regulation on the administrator side.) Slack

    How much should EMS make?

    I am currently in charge of Senior Managers with High school diplomas. They have had anywhere between 5-9 promotions in their career at my employer. Internally I personally feel, there should be EMT I, EMT II, EMT III, EMT IV, ect. to give some incentive on working hard and staying late. no...

    How much should EMS make?

    Very true. I tend to think rather "old school" and think an employer should invest in an employee, both fiscally and on the company/professional advancement side. In my opinion there's not enough "pegs" for promotions in EMS, UNLESS your FD. Because in the very very limited about of time I...

    How much should EMS make?

    This is a good question, I have a counter-proposal. Lets say we're talking about a "minimally educated" EMT- High school education, no college. Having just recently made a career change to technology, I have people under my management that are making well over 100k with a high school diploma and...

    I used BJJ to stay in shape for YEARSSSSSSSS. Still have my Brown belt somewhere. Judo and aikido are also super fun if you have the chance to learn a bit about those as well. believe @Gurby was also a MMA master ;). Best workouts i've ever had.

    EMT-B to Paramedic to Become Officer?

    In NYS we found it worked wonders, especially for improving education department wide. It did cost quite a bit up front, but it more then paid for itself in just the little time I was there (<5 years). NYS has also started to found a lot of improvements to EMS (sheriffs dpt having their own EMS...

    EMT-B to Paramedic to Become Officer?

    Now I am allllll the way across the country in New York state(formerly). My work(NYS Parole) actually paid for my EMT cert+ gave me a bonus for having it. As you enter the workforce I think everybody can attest that your employer may and usually does pay for you to advance your career. I 100%...
