If we are timed out and in a hotel room they will clock us out. It sucks but I understand it from a company stand point. They pay for the hotel and we can submit receipts for food. It is pretty rare for us but it does happen. If we are near a base then they will allow us to be in service as a...

In my interview they had a medical and trauma scenario. It was a septic patient, and trauma scene call with RSI/setting up the vent. If you walk into there with a good handle on pressers, pain management/sedation, RSI, and vent management you will do just fine.

Thats how it is.. completely normal. I felt that way as a new intermediate, a new paramedic, and now a new flight paramedic. It takes months to get comfortable with an ALS assessments/skills, decision making, and delegating. Some things will take longer then that. Now is the time to be looking...

Dude dont sell yourself short! Everyone started out green! You can truly do anything you put your mind and heart into. Tigger hit it right on the head. Work for a system that has a a good FTO or FTEP program. The service I worked at previously had a 4 month FTEP program.

If they are hemodynamically stable then by all means dont put you, the patient, or the public at risk by going code 3. I dont care if they are in a complete block, If they are stable just let it ride man.

Good morning. I got a flight job this July in the Idaho/Oregon area. I was curious on what survival gear you guys carry on your person and/or in your helmet bag. We fly in some mountainous area, during a crash, mechanical, or even if unforeseen weather forced a landing I could see it might take...

Im way late to this party.. Id say Just place an I-Gel and hit the road. This is a time sensitive call, we are 40 minutes away from a Trauma Center. The best thing for this patient is an quick ride to the trauma doc (hopefully within the Golden Hour). We can protect his airway by dropping and...

Ill jump on the wagon. ATCEMS would be a really fun service to work at. They are a busy service in a beautiful city.. BUT I too am against the medic 1 BLS provider process for Paramedics. Also even with short transport times DSI would be very beneficial for select patients. WCEMS is probably...

Ada County Paramedics in Boise, Wake County EMS, King County Medic 1. I've also always liked REMSA in Reno and MEDIC in NC.

If anyone is interested San Marcos Hays County EMS is hiring, Full time for sure, possibly part time? Pay is right at 50k for paramedics.. not sure on EMT or Intermediate pay. Go to the website for further, looks like they are taking applications until October 7th. smhcems.com

right @ 49k for paramedic

Acadian and AMR will be your big dogs for IFTs. Acadian does 911 in Bastrop county. Austin Travis County EMS is the 911 contract. Very busy service and a great place to gain experience, especially if you are an EMT. If you get your paramedic you will have to work in a BLS capacity for a...

Do a search, There are a few threads with ALOT of info.. I was interested in that area too and there were a few guys with a lot of good input.

Most places will tell you if there will be a written test, a skills/practical test, or both. It is common practice for them to ask you clinical or job specific questions during an interview. For instance. "You have a 300 lb 56 yo male with crushing chest pain on the third floor of an apartment...

There are a lot of good services in the Houston Area. As a paramedic Harris county ESD1, MCHD, and Pearland FD all have great protocals and are a good place to work. I dont know if they hire EMTS?

What they said^

King County medic 1 is a extremely difficult service to get on with.. but in my opinion they are truly the best of the best. Austin Travis County is a good service but you have to work for a year and a half as a EMT Basic before you can be cleared as the in charge paramedic. Washington and...

Dude just go to work and do your job. Be a patient advocate and lead by example. If you do that your partner will respect you. Don't think of it as being your truck.. think of it as being you and your partner's truck, you guys are working as a team. Your partner already knows that you outrank...

Even with oxygen it's not going to effect the reading
