Here in Arkie I think once you are a paramedic, you can get in 5yrs exp, then take 40hr instructors course to teach EMTB courses. Then I think for every level you want to teach you have to get an additional 40 hrs. I could be wrong though. But as far as getting a Masters in EMS, sure its a nice...

Yeah we'll be able to remember the days when 3.19/gal gas was cheap when in a short time we'll be paying close to 5-6/gal. About two years ago Scotland's gas prices were equivalent to 7 U.S. dollars, and many Scots have since sold their vehicles and started sharing one vehicle with the entire...

Welcome new members Smart Guy and Medic_Civ_Def! Pull up a chair and stay a while we'd like to know you better so please tell us a bit about yourself.... Heres a few questions to help you get started: What state/country do you reside in? Are you ALS or BLS? (or are you a student?) Is your...

Prices at 3.00 here now and gas stations are rationing gas. Fire PD EMS get 1st dibs in the AM when they open. They usually fill up all the rigs at this point. We ran completely out yesterday at one station. -Cap'nPanic

If several states pulled together their resources BEFORE the hurricane hits, we could possibly evacuate the entire city of NOLA. Thats what I said that we could use school buses, church buses, greyhound buses, 15 passenger vans, military convoys, even limos would be handy ;) It would have to...

Im going to make another set of rounds to the local EMS serivces and let them know Im still needing a job if they are needing someone to fill in for EMTs that are deployed, it doesnt look like I will be able to go south, sadly. :( -Cap'nPanic

As I was taught by my instructor, get in the unit, close the door and lock it behind you, this helps for safety and privacy reasons. It really helps if you have a button that locks the doors from the rear compartment, so last man in locks doors, then uses the walk-thru to reach the cab. If you...

Arkansas EMS providers have been asked to state whether or not they are available for deployment. I noticed my local EMS is getting a rig ready to go south. I may be headed to either NOLA or Biloxi depending on what happens. I should know by the weekend. -Cap'nPanic

Well when I finally do get a job I plan moving within 5-6 blocks of it so at least I could walk to work, and hopefully daycare and school would be within walking distance, then only drive when absolutely necessary, but whos going to find a decent place like that? Especially one with a backyard...

One gas station here in town just ran completely out of gas, the other one was raising price to 3.10 - bad part is that the mgr is family :blink: -Cap'nPanic
