Ok Who has taken the online recert exam through NREMT versus the 48 hour refresher? How was the questioning? Are the questions the same as they are on the registry exam? Is there a fixed number or is it the variable number of questions thing again? Thanks for your help
Has anyone heard about this new study with Tufts University? My service is about to start participating and I am looking for feed back from anyone who is or will be participating. Thanks
I have to agree with redryder If the truck is not set up when I get there with the patient, someone hasn't done their job. When I was an intermediate, I knew what had to be done and would do it with out being asked. Having everything ready when you hit the truck saves minutes and minutes...

In Georgia you will be hard pressed to find a job as a Basic. The only role of a basic is to serve as a "driver" and two basics are not allowed on a truck together. Some services will hire you to drive a medic/intermediate, but they are few and far between. There are numerous non emergency...
Depending on your age, 30 minutes or so at 75-80% maximum heart rate, 3-4 times a week will benefit you greatly. That with dietary changes like the ones mentioned will send the fat to packing. I have lost 55 lbs oer a couple of years and have completely quit smoking. NO fast food except...
