I used MedicTests.com to prepare for my written NRP exam. I actually know the guy who started and runs medictests and let me tell you. He is a super smart guy. His site, in my opinion, will help you pass any of the NREMT exams. And I believe he even has a money back guarantee if you don't pass...
Alright folks,
I need honest opinions and facts about EMSA. I am looking to relocate from Chattanooga to the mid west. I'm coming from a slow private 911 and I'm wanting the big city experience.
Any information is helpful.
Thanks
As a Chattanooga Medic I will give you some pointers. In the State of TN they are no longer licensing EMT-IV's. It is EMT, AEMT, and Paramedic. As a EMT basic you would be able to apply for EMT however I do not believe you can actually work on an ambulance with just EMT. You have to be AEMT or...
Hello my EMTLIFE.com friends, my name is Chris and I am an EMT from Chattanooga, TN. A good friend and colleague of mine is actively fighting for his life. His name is Will and he is a Critical Care Paramedic with Hamilton County, TN EMS. He is in need of a bone marrow transplant and is looking...
I am currently enrolled at Lenoir CC. The price point was also something that made me question it. However, the state of NC regulates the amount a community college can charge for EMS education, due to the fact that the state pays for all EMS education for in-state providers.
The program...
I am actually in the second trimester at LCC. I will say that you have to be dedicated to having a decent load of homework each week, staying on top of your readings, and clinical hours. For example my class started with 24, we are down to 12 with half the class dropping out due to not being...
Unfortunately there aren't many ways to do this. Your best bet is to call the community colleges and see if you can pay them to teach a bridge course. EMT IV in TN is closer to the NREMT I. We are transitioning to theAEMT within the next two years. This will mean you will have EMR EMT AEMT and...
Puckett EMS has 911 in Marion Co. TN and Dade Co. GA. Puckett, Lifeguard, Memorial, and Angel (Catoosa Co. GA) rotate every day on 911 for the City of East Ridge. Unless you go and work for Hamilton Co. you are going to start off on a BLS IFT convo truck with any of these companies...
There are four services intown plus the county service. Lifeguard EMS, Puckett EMS, Memorial EMS, and Southeast Ambulance. I won't give you my personal opinons on any of the services since I work for one and that would be bias. Hamilton Co. EMS runs 911 and they are currently hiring Paramedics...
Here in Tennessee every EMT is trained initially to the EMT-I level. We are licensed as As an EMT-IV state of TN and EMTB NR. Under Tennessee guidelines we are allowed to establish IV access, hang NS or LR as indicated, administer D50, BGL, ntg tablet or SL, ASA, albuterol neb, epi 1:1000...
I figured it out one day. for the outreach is 575 for the class, 80 a night for hotel for 12 days, 200-400 for books new or used, plus my flights and rental car. Saving me about 3000 over my local program
I went to Columbia State in Columbia, TN, we had 96 clinical hours, 500 is ridiculous IMO for EMT-IV. Southeastern is known for overdoing everything. Did I mention my EMT-IV class was a summer semester and costed about 2,000. I can imagine that you are paying almost 10,000 for this program.
