Update I just recently passed my Indiana state practical/written EMT-B exams! Now I just need to find a job. :) I put in an application with Wishard and am going to drop one off with Rural Metro today. I really want to do more than just transports. If anyone knows of any openings...

Faith and EMS The “Religion and the Star of Life” thread got me thinking about my faith in Jesus. I am still an EMT-B student, but I’m sure there will be times that I will need to draw on my faith once I start working in EMS. So here is my question: Are any other Christians out there that...

Why not go straight to the source for an answer? :) Check out more info on the Star of Life at http://www.ems.gov/. Click on "Star of Life Manual" at the bottom right of the page. Page 4 references Asclepius, the god of medicine, from Greek mythology as well as Moses of the Bible.

Was it this verse? Numbers 21:4-9 They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? There is no bread...

Does anyone here use P90X? It's an exercise program (if you've seen the infomercial, you'll know what I'm talking about) that is supposed to really get you into shape. Okay, I know the program itself doesn't get you into shape, you have to do that. :) However, for someone like me that...

Jim Grinder is teaching the EMT-B class at St. V's.

Good luck with your class! I've had three EMT-B classes so far at St. Vincent's. There are about 20 in my class too. I have a whole new respect for what EMS providers do and like you, want to get as much time in the trucks as possible. Keep everyone up to date on your progress!

2008 is sure to be an eventful year for me. I begin my EMT-B class in January and will finish in May. This is going to be a big career change for me as I've worked in an office environment for the past 8 years. However, it's a change that I fully welcome and am excited about! Happy New Year...

Any info I can get will help! Thanks! I can't wait until May, when I'm done with my EMT-B class and can start working.

Some of the questions I have are: 1. What companies have good opportunities for advancement? 2. Which ones really give you great experience and try to help you grow/learn as an EMT? 3. Do any of them offer financial assistance to become a paramedic? 4. What are the hours I can expect...

Hey everyone! This is my first post. I begin my EMT-B class at the beginning of January 2008 and will finish in May. Does anyone in the Indianapolis area have any recommendations for a good ambulance service to get started with? Also, it sounds like $8-$9/hour is the starting pay for most...
