    Pro-Transport (bay area)

    wow I actually used to work for pro transport, and as vent said i would be very careful what you say and where you say it. If you ask me, you seem like one of the young uneducated snot nose kids that wanted the union souly to make more money and have a sense of direction in your life. Wanted a...

    EMT Achieve-Paramedic

    Yes i think it is a very helpful tool to use when studying for NR. Dont use it as your only guide though. Use the book and EMT achieve simultaniously. The reason why is you will start to see repeditive questions on EMT achieve and it will begin to be to easy for you to pass with 100%. Something...

    accreditation questions, sorry i did use the search button

    I am by all means not an expert in your question, But.... I would imagine that you would want to go to a school that is already accredited and established for 2 reasons. 1) They probably have their act together and have good contracts with providers that you will beable to do your intership...

    ACLS - Do's and Don't?

    I could not agree more with vent. There are so many EMT's out there that want to go right into medic school before they have formed a solid foundation on how to render care on a live human being.

    Having Trouble Passing NREMT-B - Suggestions?

    What you need to do is make sure that you read the question thoroughly. Trust me although they say it is not a trick test, it really is. Of course you always want to be thinking ABC's, but in the back of your mind you need to pay close attention to how they are wording the question. They will...

    Any medical provider can take the class. The only one they will actually give the physical ACLS card to are the providers that are Paramedic and higher. The others they may only provide CE's for, even that may not count towards an EMT recert though, it all depends on the county weather they will...

    ACLS - Do's and Don't?

    This is true. I teach this class and some proavtive EMT's like to know that sort of stuff. Unfortuneately they will not give you a card, but they may give you the CE's for taking the class which could be equally as useful!

    Recession and EMS

    I actually work for a private ambulance company, and they recently have been reporting that they have been getting hit from Medicare and Medical lag days in paying for the actual calls ran. That is a scary thing for them because 95%+ of their earnings come from these insurance companies.
