This is what I noticed as well. I am honestly shocked that there's no such requirement for EMS that I can find anywhere.

Paramedic at a couple different places. :)

EMT & Paramedic renewals in California are pretty easy, fortunately. But I highly recommend keeping your National Registry. I think it makes it a WHOLE lot easier in the long run. Any hours that you used for your National Registry renewal can be applied to the state hour requirement.

I can empathize with you on this one. hopefully they get it resolved in a timely manner! You can also pull your own record on the DMV website but I think it costs like $3 each time you do. I had to do this in early 2021 to make sure that they cleared up an error ... from 1997....

How difficult was that process to get set up?

My old service in Oklahoma has a truck that is coming from there, and I think I saw that exact same US Army box in the background. :D nice!

Ahh.. interesting. Is there a branch specific guideline you are aware of? If there's one you can point me to, that would be awesome! I'm not active duty, I'm a contract human, but there's a military component here as well.

Are any of you aware of any specific FDA/DEA/etc guidelines on how the vials should be stored on the ambulance? We have "either a biometric safe or behind 2 locks" but that's about it. I'm trying to find specific information about tamper proof seals/tags. We have employees that are complaining...

Sounds like smaller clear containers of some sort with tamper proof tags inside of the larger padlocked case is going to be the way to go. LogRx looks pretty interesting too. I'd love to see us go that direction in the future. cheers!

The DMV really takes a LONG time to get around to things. The main Sacramento DMV office is my local one. They literally pull out an old Brother typewriter to make the "Ambulance Drivers License." I have no idea why the state requires such a thing other than to add yet another unnecessary...

Our local policy is "biometric safe, or 2 locks." that's it. Someone mentioned putting a tamper proof tag on the narc case after it's restocked but people are complaining saying that they need to physically verify each and every vial at the start of each shift and they won't sign off if they...

Napa County has been doing that for a while. Not sure if that's the other county you were thinking of.

Can you do it twice in a row? I think you should try and share the results with us. for science, y'know. while I'd love to have someone show up at the station with a brisket and say "See? I did it!" I know that's not likely. so pics will do.

Someone I know on a contract gig said that they got a decent raise. About a $13/hr raise. Sounds great! They were doing 48 hour shifts. *were.* Now they're doing 36 hour shifts instead, so no more overtime. Sad trombone? I haven't done the math and I don't know all of the details but that...

Our folks prefer the humoral site and we have not experienced any issues with using that site along with a Lucas. I have not heard of any complaints. If anything, there's literature hinting that the humoral site may be preferred anyway.

nice! how was the application process? I would literally fly to Connecticut to do on-campus stuff if I needed to. lol I recently learned that UT-San Antonio has a BA in Emergency Health Sciences and I am thinking about that route.

I don't know if you're National Registry or not, but I did learn about this recently: https://www.newhaven.edu/health-sciences/undergraduate-programs/paramedicine-degree-completion/index.php You mentioned associates but there's a bachelors program now too. Creighton in Nebraska also has a...

replying to myself. I discovered Help/University in the "Community" tab, and I can now start there. I was digging all around the image trends website and not finding anything, I didn't think to look IN the app itself. duh.

One of my jobs is at a small agency with a low call volume. We USED to paper print all PCRs and write a hand-written CQI form on each one, but due to storage requirements/etc we are now just using the CQI function built into image trend elite. Well, we're trying to. We don't manage the image...

I started watching "The Expanse" on Amazon Prime and I have no idea how I haven't seen this show before. I love it. I binge watched Season 1 the other day and I'm looking forward to a day off where I can get through more of it.
