Hi All, Thanks for your thoughts, I do appreciate them. Just to add...I absolutely LOVE EMS, and would do that as a career in a heartbeat. However, in my volunteering, I have only met one Medic (in approximately 100 I have chatted with) who was happy doing EMS as a full career, and she is...

Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I am looking for some advice here. Come August, I will be a junior business management major in college. Ultimately, I am considering some sort of career in medicine, and am considering nursing and med school. I have not taken any health science...

Hi All, I am looking for an EMT-B class offered in St. Louis, MO for the summer semester for a friend. While my friend is in the city (and we know about STLCC) we are also trying to find other places nearby, (county included) which is why I thought I'd post here. Any thoughts? Thanks...

Where in STL are you?

Hi All, Thank you for your replies...Sorry it took me so long to get back, I had a busy week at school this week. I did have a question, (which was answered) but I want to ask it anyway just to get more thoughts on it. How can I determine a recommended vendor for supplies, if I do not...

I don't see a supply list? Am I missing something? Thanks!

Hi Guys, Thanks for the continued replies... Will do, thanks... Working on that as we speak... Working on that, too:) I appreciate all the thoughts/advice....Any other thoughts, and I'd be happy to hear them... Have a great evening, Purdue

Hi All, Thank you for all of your replies, I do appreciate them. Dan's post below is exactly what we are attempting to do. I have checked in with NCEMSF, as well. I wanted to post here just to help get a diverse amount of viewpoints as possible, to help make the best overall decision...

Hi All, Let's say you are in charge of starting up a brand new collegiate EMS group. This group would be a quick reponse BLS team with a medical director and online medical control from the nearby ED, not doing ALS or transports (if needed, the local FD would be called). Said college is in...

Hi Guys, Thanks for all your replies, I do appreciate them! Fortunately, I have some support behind me, so we will see how things go...I'm mainly looking for some schools who are similar to use to compare to and to see how they run things... Thanks again, Purdue

Hi All, I am trying to set up a student run emergency response team at my University, and I have made decent progress concept wise so far. One of the things I am looking at is to find other Universities that have their own student run BLS team. Do you guys know of any other schools that...

Don't have time to read the whole thread...But I've heard of a couple medics that work full time 911, (who have/already had a good job, etc.) and get their paychecks automatically forwarded to a local charity....Just an idea... B

Thanks for the idea...I will definitely look into the tuition reimbursement idea...Is that common for most hospitals? Also, my name is a bit of a misnomer:) but I actually attend a major university in St. Louis, MO...Thanks for the thought, though, I will definitely look into that... On a...

Hi Guys, Sorry for the late reply, I had a busy week at school and all with Thanksgiving break next week... Thanks for all your thoughts and advice, I do appreciate it. It sounds like more or less the opinion is to (do what I like the most...) but to get the BSN, first. To be honest, (I did...

Hi All, I am a Sophomore Business Management major looking for some career advice... Based on a interest I have had for a number of years now, this past summer I took and successfully completed an EMT-B course at my local community college. For the clinical portion in my class, I got 40...

At the level 1 trauma center where I did my clinicals for EMT-B...They had one level of "tech" that could do phlebotomy, EKG, and basically all the rest of the BLS stuff, etc. They also had CC-EMTPs who would "appear" for any trauma code, cardiac alert, anything big really, and worked with the...

Hi All, I am a new NREMT-B with a state certificate in IL and MO. FWIW, I am currently not affiliated with any EMS employer or hospital. I have a few questions for you guys on getting continuing education hours. Anyone here from MO and/or IL? If my understanding is correct, it seems...

70 and passed on Saturday...

I gotcha, that makes sense, thanks:) I was like "what does he have against some prep work?" But now I understand...Saved me $30, thanks! Purdue
