NREMT Refresher . Another idea is to see if anyone near you has a refresher. Loyola Hospital outside Chicago has one & I've heard that it has helped with some others that had been having a difficult time with the exam process .

Passing the NR EMT All I know is that this was the first time I took their test and I made sure I slept well the night prior to taking the written. But I've also been a medic since 1984 so I don't know what advice I can give in regards to doing anything different to pass the written. There were...

Massachusetts written exam . I last took it in April 2008 for Paramedic & they were using a computer based written through a private testing company called PSI exams out in Las Vegas. I went to West Springfield, took it & passed within an hour if that & they photographed me & gave me the...

NREMTP written time. I took it on Tuesday & it stopped at 41 minutes. I received confirmation on the NR site that I passed it but it doesn't list any score, is that their norm ? I'm still happy that I passed but I am just curious as to how I did score wise.:cool:

Freightliner/Sprinter from Medix Ambulance Builders. Does anyone have one of the Sprinter's made by Medix Ambulance builders in Elkhart,Indiana with the modular box (Metro Express MN 86) on that chassis yet ? Any comments ( + or - ) appreciated ...

Mass. EMS Congrats ! You live in the land of pre-hospital opportunity! There are so many privates there, you can almost throw a stone in any direction and hit one. I know Cataldo is good, so is Fallon on the South Shore (Quincy). There's Lifeline all along the western perimeter of the Metro...

Too many tickets ? Naw, if you lived here in the Chicago area you could just apply at Midwest Ambulance in Skokie. They'll hire anything with a heart beat, they've had EMT's flip a rig over and kept them on the pay-roll !:wacko:

Anyone know/ have any positive experience working in Peoria,Illinois for A.M.T. ? What is their hourly rate of pay for an experienced Paramedic (>25 yrs)..

I know who you mean, and it's amazing that Murphy makes Millions of $ but can't pay his staff a livable wage .

Midwest Ambulance If any of you have worked, or know anyone that's worked at Advance, well Midwest is Advance in sheeps clothing. Lifepack 12's that frequently do not print out (so much for their 12 leads), they take responses for real life threats with more than 20 minute ETA's & get P.O.'d...

To all of you seeking employment in Chicago with a Private service - BE CAREFUL ! Seek & choose carefully - especially one new service in the North suburbs. Think about questions such as - 'are we allowed to rest at all while parked in a lot overnight'? Money $$ hourly - Look at their...

EMS should be a separate agency. Too many conflicts in the firehouse, not enough understanding of the job from the P.D. side.

McGill would be close enough to CSL.

EMS & Quebec. Quebec province Canada still has Technicien Ambulanciers. They only use an airway device called a 'Combitube' an A.E.D. & administer 4 symptom relief meds. 3 by mouth,1 by aerosol. In 2001 there were 17 techniciens that went through an advanced Paramedic course (SPA = Soins...
