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)
