I'm just a brand name :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:. I use Under Armour at the gym and its never let me down.

I love Under Armour :D

Weird question but does Under Armour offer EMT custom made gear?

Thanks! :cool:

I'd figure it's really hard to get into those, especially NY Presby with no experience.

So your an RN who decided to go for EMT-P? Was there a challenge exam available?

I think starting was around $35,000-40,000. Hospitals may pay more for starting salary but I tihnk its around $20-22/hr in a hospital... I quit my emt job and now work in the hospital. It pays double what I made as a basic but I miss BLS. It was a unique job. I intend to volunteer and maybe go...

Very interesting! I still am considering paramedic as a backup plan (not to take anything away from being a paramedic), but I'd like to go into nursing, as I had an interest prior to taking my EMT course. Also, does anyone on here know if there's a paramedic challenge exam for nurses? If...

Well, I still intend on going to nursing school. I've gotten all the pre-reqs done but here in NY its getting harder and harder to get into school on a part time status if you work full-time. Bachelor degree holders can now mostly only enter 2nd Degree ACCELERATED pathways...I have to work. And...

As per the DCAS website... http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcas/html/employment/examschedule.shtml Make sure to apply! This is good news for those (including me) that weren't certified until after the July 31, 2010 filing period... :beerchug:

Love your username... :cool: Thanks guys. Thanks for the input.

As is xray tech school, respiratory therapist school, etc. But why nursing?

I wanna clarify, I was wondering about the trend in career choice as opposed to the money although I'm sure money plays a role, I really noticed a lot of my emt friends, as well as what ytou see on the discussion threads on emtlife, that a lot go into nursing instead of PA/MD. Of course, you...

I just figured perhaps nursing was the next logical choice in patient care, as I see by the number of EMTs I worked with in my private company who went to nursing school. While those factors you mentioned are valid, you also have to take into account that nursing isn't for everyone. I know a PA...

But they are two totally different professions...(MD/PA vs Nursing)

Why do alot of EMTs go into nursing as opposed to any other medical field? It seems common...

Are supervisors from private companies allowed to 800 (check) you and your volunteer bus? Just wondering because I ran into a supervisor from a private company and he asked to see all our stuff. What about FDNY supervisors?

well there you go :glare: good luck.

i agree, but it gets boring after a while. while these are true emergencies that i feel are masked by nursing homes, a call for sepsis or a peg tube removal is unappealing after you get to know what it is. needless to say i quit my IFT ems job the first week of jan -- i got a better paying job...

Morning: Check ambulance to make sure all supplies are on board. Start of day: Transport patient from hospital back to nursing home / private residence. Midday: you may get an emergency call for sepsis/peg tube replacement/abdominal pain/psych transport or you may get posted at a location...
