Correct on Lowell. I agree with the term aggressive. Massachusetts is pretty limited on scope of practice for most EMS regions unfortunately. The exception being Boston, Worcester, Lowell, and Lawrence. They are also pretty selective in whom they hire, especially per diem/part time. As a full time buckethead that is all I can commit to. I see you have you critical care certification. I've been studying for a few weeks with one text book and Anthony Baca's crash course. I am mainly trying to get the cert to make myself look better on the resume. I also have CT certification and have been considering applying at Windham Hospital whom requires their medics to have CCP-C. Not sure if you know anything about that system. You seem very knowledgeable. Any advice for the test and preparation for it?
I worked EMS in Lowell for a while (not for LGH), if you have any questions about them let me know. LGH runs a solid service, one of the best in MA.
Edited to delete something I didn't mean to say.
