    Meret Bags

    Anyone ever used a Meret bag? Specifically this one... http://www.meretusa.com/product.php?product_id=334 ? Thinking of buying it to tote my most used personal gear on the ambulance.

    Schedules

    As far as schedules go in EMS, I've seen companies with all sorts of shifts... 9-5, rotating schedules. The city I live in and where I would hope to get a job upon the completion of my EMT class would have me working a 2 week rotating schedule. So it would be as follows: Work Schedule...

    Passed!

    I just passed my final test, the written, yesterday! I am now a CT state EMT. I had a question though. I know it can take a week or more for the cert. card and letter to come in the mail, but how long until your name comes up on the website saying you are certified?

    New EMT To Be (Hopefully)

    I have become a member of our towns volunteer Emergency Medical Services. I am 16 and so far I have attended the meetings, and gone on some ride-alongs which have mostly involved hanging out with the paid staff. I have been on two calls so far. One was a truck on fire, nobody was injured, so we...
