No, there are a ton of bases closing. I've heard that Seals and Care are holding walk in interviews for RM employees, but I don't work for any of these companies.

Pay is crap in Indiana if you're not fire based. When I was in the IEMS process last fall it was a $1.50 pay cut from my dispatch job.

The article states they have seen six figure losses operating in Indiana. They have several small crew bases across the area, and to my knowledge most of them operate independently, not sharing personnel or equipment. I could be wrong on that, I've never worked for them, but I have plenty of...

They don't hire medics. You can still be hired as them, but it will be as an EMT, with possible promotion. Stay away from rural metro, they are leaving Indiana, in the news today.

I imagine there would be both. Probably looking at your problem solving, conflict resolution skills.

Five people shot last night in Indy. Up to date on your penetrating trauma procedures? :)

Truthfully, spiritual care can do as much for someone as an intervention does. I don't mean sprititual in the form of the Trinity or Allah or what have you, rather the care that comes from the care, love, and touch of another person. When someone wants you to pray with them, as AK mentioned...

What is your MD's opinion on this? Our protocols state anyone who appears under the influence is not able to refuse for theirselves. The ETOH destracts the person from any potential problems they may have. Pain and all of their senses are decreased, so if something really is wrong, they...

4th Amendment - It guides the police in evidence gathering Of course there are thousands of pages of case law that examines every letter, comma, and period of this paragraph. I can tell you though, no case law is established that allows medical information, of the type we are discussing...

Update: David J. Gundle, 50, an employee of Clark Co. EMS was pronounced dead at Scott County Hospital. The accident is currently being described as the ambulance failing to negotiate a curve in the road striking a tree...

What happens when you get tickets? Your car insurance goes up. Same thing for an EMS company (or any buisness for that matter) they will send your info off to their insurance company when you apply. When I did hiring we had a point scale, compare your driving record to a chart they...

In some instances. Depends on your insurablity. Many places are hesitant to hire an EMT-B that can't drive for a few reasons. The biggest one being if your a P you can always work the back no matter the type of call. Not much room out there for a Basic who cant drive.

I wouldn't make a blanket statement aboud it being invalid. Groups of twelve people make odd decisons, we all know that.

Good situation to give report before you head to the truck.

1) You don't take the ER by surprise. And you don't trust the nursing home to give an accurate report. 2) Try talking to him, its amazing what communication can do. If you're gonna be a good EMT you have to be a good communicator. 3) This isn't the place to air dirty laundry. Think if your...

They make some good kits. I have one from them as well. I carry one mainly for myself and my family. Also if I am anywhere where people "know" my experience and something is needed. I would be very-extremely hesitant to stop at a scene I wander up on, too much to risk. My family is...
