Does anyone have the email for NREMT to send the recert by exam form? Last recert cycle I mailed it in and they lost it, so I ended up emailing it and I cannot remember the address.

Has anyone taken this exam, and if so what do you feel is solid study material? I know there is a textbook now, but I've seen atrocious reviews on it. Thanks.

Hey guys, its time for me to order a new flight suit through the company. I have been wearing a 42R (5'9"), and I feel like there's too much slack in the crotch and too long in the legs. I am seeing roughly a 2" inseam difference with most companies between an S and an R. What are you guys...

I have a minor issue with my L5/S1 (vertebrae is angulated, and at one point was putting pressure on the sciatic nerve). Its day to day, some days I feel 17 again some days I feel 45. I accept this as part of my life, but there is probably something I can do to improve the consistent day to day...

Hey all, it has been quite a while since I have been here. I am gearing up to apply for some part time flight jobs in the area. At least one requires a resume to complete an application, therefore I will need to build one. I have been able to skirt by for five years in EMS without one. Does...

CAMTS states three years experience as a paramedic to fly.... out of curiosity, does anyone know of services who may bend this? I am just over two years of experience with an associate's in applied science, FP-C (as of today), and CCT experience. As well as major educational and supervisor...

So I got a wild hair up my behind and decided to obtain the BCCTPC's FP-C. Various reasons, mostly just personal desire. Took a prep course last week, paid and faxed my card yesterday. I'm sure there is someone else here that has taken it. what was your experience?

Started having pain at the end of December/beginning of Jan, and a little after the 3rd of Jan I noticed a bulge just above my groin. To my fears, it was indeed an inguinal hernia (right sided). Anyways, I fought it as long as I could and finally had surgery on it this past Friday. I've had...

Can anyone recommend good online CEU resources that I can take while sitting on shift at the station? I know there are many, but I don't want to spend money on something and think "I didn't learn s**t" afterwards, so I'm asking for recommendations. Thanks

I have always been a 5.11 guy for pants since EMT class. I feel theyre durable and versatile- the only downside being they fade after a year or so of washing constantly. I recently ordered a pair of VertX LT w/ intellidry from LAPOLICEGEAR.com . I have to say, I may end up phasing out 5.11...

Hinds CC in Jackson, MS offers an LPN to ADN transition, and they open it to respiratory therapists and paramedics. Its a one calendar year course. I have the prereqs, minus like 2-3 classes I will be taking online this summer anyways, to qualify for entering nursing. I am one short from my AAS...

When I first started, I began with AMR for the BP Oil Spill. I was local, and did not know how bad I was catching the shaft. $9.86/hr 12hr shift. They ended up flying in contracted medics and basics to fill the holes. The basics were making like $160-180/day with like $15/hr OT. Medics I know...

Alright, at my job we do the old style 48 on, 48 off, 72 on (2-2-3, 5 24s, 48/72s, whatever you want to call it). Before I got on this rotation, my old job was 24/48. It was a little more conducive to a gym schedule, and it was easy to keep the metabolism up on a majority of days with my work...

I just tested out my paramedic skills at this site, which is located in Southaven, MS (JUST south of Memphis). If you are, or know anyone, about to test skills and are within a reasonable amount of time from this site- GO. GREAT atmosphere, they do a meeting the night before and allow you to ask...

Yep, the ugly social media monster is being drug up again. I am no newcomer to this stuff. I took allied health classes in HS, and took my EMT-B class at 19. Next month will make two years I've been active in EMS and I am halfway through paramedic school. I (think) know HIPAA. I go by it, I...

Been a while since Ive been here- if anyone here remembers, I started paramedic school at the National EMS Academy by Acadian Ambulance. Since then I have maintained my full time work schedule (24/48 with swapping days to be off for school), managed to make plenty of volunteer calls with the...

I've been a NREMT-B since March, did medical stand bys for BP from May to July, and have been a 911 emt since July. The local CC said I can still apply and get into their program for January. What are your thoughts on a fresh EMT going into medic so soon? The idea makes me nervous but I really...

I am making this thread to share a lesson learned/new experience that I had a few days ago while on shift. Feel free to join in and discuss, and even add in experiences of your own- but please keep this clean and polite. For example I am new, and still learning the ways of EMS. I love feedback...

Disclaimer: I'm not trying to formally educate myself to do work, this is for expanding my own knowledge. I like to learn. Anyways, I have this and next semester before I transfer into my university's BSN program. I'm working full time as an EMT (obviously), and I'm around the ALS stuff...

yea... its another one of those interview threads... So after talking with an Acadian recruiter for a few days, he called me up today and told me he'd like to get me in for interview soon. He said for me to call him tomorrow and we'll get a time setup for next week (he was very considerate of...
