I just bought my first house and I'll be moving in about a week. I'm excited, but I'm also dreading the move because I still haven't figured out how I will have my dog cared for while I'm away on a 24-hour shift. I'll be moving out of my brothers house and he is moving his girlfriend in the...

Johnson County Med-Act of Johnson County Kansas. All paramedics, no EMT's or EMT-I/D.

You're right. Both the EMT and the Paramedic were riding up front :angry: This transfer took place during a heavy snow storm, which delayed the transport significantly. I know I can speak for all of us here when I say that it is never appropriate to leave your patient alone in the back...

Any Gold Cross Ambulance Employees on this forum? Can I pick your brain? :)

I hadn't heard that. Any particular reason?

I'm having a difficult time finding a school in Utah that offers a bridge program from paramedic to RN. Anyone familiar with one?

Did it for three years before getting my EMT-B. It was tough finding time to do homework while on the clock. I was thinking more along the lines of working a security night shift or something else..

I just got my formal acceptance into the Paramedic program beginning in January, so I will be quitting my current full-time job in a few weeks to allow for time to go to class and study. Unfortunately I have not been successful in lining up a job as an EMT with a service or hospital (ER...

Sarcasm is difficult to convey through text.

I've got my interview for the medic program next week, I'm stoked.

I was 22 when I became an ems first responder

So I'm dating this girl and I just found out that her family is (for the most part) anti-immunization and pro natural (at home) child birth. Apparently she was born at home and so were her siblings, with only a midwife there. Also she swears up and down that she's never had any type of shot...
