    Too Tall?

    I'm 5'5 and I've had a partner that was 6'7. Worked just fine after a few trial and errors of figuring out the best way to do everything.

    Difference between BLS and ALS calls?

    And on that note is where the fun of my state being an EMT-I/AEMT is considered BLS and only a medic is ALS. And on the note of epi, as an AEMT, I dont have epi pens on my truck(then again, I don't recall ever hearing of any trucks around that carry epi pens), I have epi 1:1 vials(you know...

    BLS Skills -- What Should We Add?

    To further from my last post, I forgot to mention that here(GA) an EMT-I or an AEMT is considered BLS, to include the I-99's that are still around. Your only ALS if your a medic.

    BLS Skills -- What Should We Add?

    Woow, is about all I can say. That and I'm glad I'm not a basic(though no offense to those who are). I suppose my state, while it uses the EMT-I'85 as the minimum to work on an ambulance is a bit more willing in its state scope of practice. This is what my state allows all providers at all the...

    Atlanta's 911 Provider

    While I can only speak for one company on that list as Im a current employee of one of them. I can say that I make 6 cents less than what Grady would pay me as an AEMT. So, most of the places on the list pay very close to if not the same as Grady, without being as busy as Grady.

    Atlanta's 911 Provider

    Some leave the area completely either via out of state or moving to north Georgia or down south. Most however go to surrounding companies that are busy, just not quite as busy as Grady and that pay decently, or they go with an FD. Such as these companies. Privates Puckett EMS-Cobb(911 with...

    Metropolitan Area employment

    I'm confused here, you said in the beginning that your an EMT-Basic student but your profile say your a Paramedic. Soo, which is it?

    Atlanta's 911 Provider

    Georgia does not officially use the EMT-B, to get on a truck here you must be an EMT-I'85 or above. Grady typically uses the EMT-I/Medic setting for all of their trucks, though they do have several BLS 911 trucks that have an EMT-I or AEMT with no medic. Grady is hospital based and works under...

    Nremt soon to expire/moved to tennessee/emtiv

    I can't say for the rest of it, but the after taking the EMT(IV) class, your EMT-B will not turn into an AEMT class. Mostly due to medications that can be given at the AEMT level.

    Aemt

    As far as Gwinnett's classes I wouldn't know. From my understanding of this past registry testing, 20 something of their students showed up and all of them were re testing for various skills, though the majority had atleast the random to re test.
