Any paramedics out there, i'm looking at schools for a paramedic program. I am wondering if it is worth it to go for the extra months for the degree or to just deal with the certificate program? I already have an associates degree in liberal arts and sciences, but I really want to get the BA...

What is DOT's influence over EMS other than we are a branch off of them? Do they have any governing powers? Reason I ask is that there's a woman I work with who is newer to the world of EMS than I am, and thinks that she is everyone's boss. She even tries to correct the guys who have been...
