    Says I'm not nationally certified.

    For Basic, you have to do pract., prior to CBT. "I" and medic you can do either one first. Basic does not have a national pract. it is done at school or state. Just call NREMT and ask them. They will gladly tell you.

    Redundant NREMT test for FL!?

    You would not need to worry. FL does not accept NREMT for medic. You would be taking their state test anyway. FL has never had reciprocity with any state. Only reason they allow NREMT for basic, is because it cuts down on the state testing they have to do. They will not allow it for medic...

    Premie Pronounced Dead Back To Life After 2hrs

    You know, while a lot of U.S. systems are still in the back woods. Do not stereo type them all. I have not work a system in years that used O2 in Neonat Res. Try to look at systems and not lump all together. There are many countries systems that I would not let treat my dog. That does not...

    EMT-I '85 dilemma - moving & medic school

    Stay far away from this school! No you do not get paid as a Paramedic. You get paid as an EMT-I. Some places hire basics, but not many. Besides the IFT companies. Most counties in the Carolinas are EMS only services.

    CCEMTP Program

    Used to require 5 years, then dropped to 3 years. Now they are down to one year. They have followed every other alphabet course and watered it way down. It is up to you, for what you are looking to get out of it.

    Most companies do have a list. Does not mean you have to use it! You can attach a sheet of paper for your narative too.

    Did we screw this up? 14yo, ETOH

    Good reason why you should learn not to use abbreviations in charts. Does not take much effort to write it out and there is no confusion.

    Spice and Bath Salts

    No I didn't develop it. It was developed in the town by me. Most states have now started outlawing their sales in stores. So it cuts down a little on them.

    CCEMTP Program

    I think the UMBC course is now garbage. They have dropped the standards and requirements for taking it. Now, the Iowa CCP is an excellent program.

    Spice and Bath Salts

    I have seen many cases with K2, since it was developed by me. They very widely and can range from minor to fatel. Never underestimate a designer drug.

    Burnout rate

    I have 22 years in and still love the job. At my service over half the medics have more then 15 years in and live very comfortable. If this is a job you enjoy and do not let the BS get to you, then it is a great career. As for those that say there is no where to go or it is too restrictive...
