my state cert needs to be submitted via my dept, to the county to the state; when I renew my NR, I have to my county, who sends stuff to the state. I wish I could do it all myself, but all active providers need sign offs to get stuff done. Now, if I go inactive, I can renew solo, but I can't...

Trampolines are really easy. just walk slowly slowly. Foam pits are not as easy, however as the link provided, practice before it happens. If it was me, I would say treat it as trench rescue, and get the TRT team to come out and play. use trench panels to cover the foam blocks, so you have...

Our prison system is designed to do two things: 1) protect society from those who would cause it harm, and 2) punish offenders, with the goal of not having them commit the same crime due to these consequences. Does this sentence do either of these things? the AG said he "never properly...

The overwhelming majority of firefighters I know don't have degrees. The overwhelming majority of firefighters I know who have degrees have degrees that are unrelated to the fire service. Anecdotally, I don't know any chief officers who have been chief officers for most than 5 years who have...

as per Minnesota Bureau Criminal of Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans, FF/PM Finseth was part of the SWAT team called into Sunday's incident. "They were in the process of helping resolve that and, as part of that, they have paramedics that are assigned to that team. They were assisting...

Does your employer offer any type of tuition assistance or professional development that you can take advantage of for college classes? There is a lot of talk about getting degrees, so I was curious if YOUR employer offered this benefit. Note: this doesn't include cert requirements or things...

I'm not saying they aren't valuable... but should they be required to start your career as a paramedic? Is it? I would argue that those in leadership are the ones who design systems, write the protocols and procedures, not the ones on the ambulance. And if you are in leadership, I would...

So instead of actually addressing my points, you go with an ad homonym attack. Good Job. Both? Is your argument that with a degree, wages will go up? Because many underpaid social workers with masters degrees would like to have a chat with you. I also know many people who can converse...

As per https://www.firemanschore.com/job_jacket.html I have one, and it's by far one of the warmest coats I own. Damn thing is nearly indestructible too.

Passed my CompTIA CASP+ exam!!! now Grad school starts in 3 weeks at WGU!

So what makes a good medic? Do you need, or should you have, a degree, to become a "good medic"? Does your degree need to be in paramedicine, or is my degree in underwater basket weaving with a paramedic cert the same thing? Does that piece of paper mean much? should a degreed paramedic be...

I would argue that being off duty while driving in a marked vehicle with proper equipment would be extremely poor optics, esp when the news says "@NomadicMedic keeps on driving while baby dies" or some other sensational headline Clarification: always on duty when you are in the car. That's...

honestly, that's probably the best thing a knowledgeable provider can do: make sure the appropriate resources are on the way. This can be the helicopter, ALS, rescue company, or maybe even hazmat. The sooner they are requested, the sooner they can arrive. I've stopped at more crashes than I...

That's where I'm getting mine; MBA might be my next step, after my MS.

Low volume? the answer is 24/72s. My old FD did this, and they loved it. They were slow enough to get a good nights sleep, and still ensured proper coverage. Why does 24/72 not work for you?

going to be nearly impossible. 12s on a pittman schedule has the same staffing requirements as 24/72, and if you want to get ride of 12s, you will need to hire more staff. Also, do you need 24 hour coverage, or just bankers hours?

Now job? 3 bugles and your own car with flashing lights? Honestly, I'm starting my M.S. next month, and I'm still not sure how beneficial it will be. I look at senior leadership, and I don't see many with masters degrees. But my job is paying for 80% of it, so it's worth it. In the fire...

It is my dream that the nation's EMS system will be 100% staffed with full time personnel, who are able to handle all of their call volume on their own in a reasonable (as defined by the AHJ, the authority having jurisdiction) response time, without needing a first responder to "stop the clock."...

I read the report... and have questions... 1) Why was EMS called? it looks like someone was resisting arrest... does APD always call for EMS when someone is resisting arrest? 2) They didn't give ketamine until the ambulance got there. before the ambulance arrived, it seemed like the victim...
