I totally agree more schooling is a benefit to us all. However, there not compensating very many paramedics for it. There was a bill introduced to the house representatives in Pennsylvania 3 years ago. It was to rid Paramedic of Allied Health and make it a recognized profession, with the nation...

You have to consider the economy. Good or bad I don't know too many people who are going to spend that exorbitant amount of money to earn a BS and come out to be paid 15/hr. It's nuts.

Thanks for the info. When you round up the amount of hours put into my year and a half course it equates to about 3 years of typical college hours spread out. Im not concerned. Soon enough there's either going to be a lot of happy people, and a lot of PO'd people because at some point when we're...

PA doesnt truly recognice "CC Paramedic". We're all MICP's. I have 12 years, 8 as lead medic. All years were 911/trans/HEMS systems, again 4 being the busiest ALS system in the Nation. I do not have a degree. Not a common thing when I went through school.

Just not for me. You however may like it. You'll be doing transports for about your first year then you may...

I've been looking into Dubai Qatar for over 2 years. Im experienced. Either I get no response from the inquires or they are literally fake. Hows did you come upon this opportunity?

Pre Hospital IV's are grossly over used. So are backboards however. I have worked in a lot different systems. Some were so thankful you even came into the ER with a line while others would raise holy hell if the 21 year old with ear pain didn't have one. With the current state of health...

Hello. I've read a few posts in the past. I am still unclear about a few things and seeking information. Im a 12 year Nationally Registered Paramedic/FF1 Pro Board with broad expeireicne. Some of that being with the Philadelphia Fire Department on Medic 10. Couldn't tolerate big city life...
