So I take it your service isn't staffed on a 24hr basis?

Ah, see this is a cot on a bariatric unit using the highly experimental miracle grease on the X-frame...

Well it looks like I officially get to join this club...

Broken Vessels is especially bad.

I'm a fan of Lifeline boxes on a Chevy platform. But that's top of the line in my book...

I used to live near there. PM sent.

Oh the things you'll realize once you actually start working in the field...

I'm starting to wonder if this guy is serious. I'm starting to hope he isn't.

cost is about 1100 not including room and board. No idea on the pass rate. The Basic exam is very straightforward, and they teach it to the test, so I'd guess close to 100 percent.

It's a 98.

Anyone have the number to the candy shop that made that? I'd like to place an order. :P

Not sure where you're getting that from. All I'm saying is that I work with a lot of people which seem to have that personality. Heck, I'm probably one of them.

Pelham Training in Bloomington, Indiana is great for the two week wonder course. Enjoy having to reteach everything to yourself that you never truly learned the first time they rushed through it though.

Hate to break it to you, but it's not the cub scouts any more. It's a personality very common amongst EMS folks, not all though. Plus I'm really wondering what you're basing all this on, you strike me as someone who really doesn't have a ton of life experience under your belt.

This reminds me of the public health nurses back in the 1920s. Definitely a good idea.

My bad, probably should have mentioned something about the global religious studie courses which centered around literary comparison between the western Bible and the Qu'ran. So I'm basing that off of more than "a few passages" or "the perversions and teachings by a minority." There are...

This happens frequently in my area if they don't specify the township the street address is located in the initial dispatch. Not 20 mins usually, but easily 10-15 if they really drop the ball. Sad. I remember a 40 minute response time to an arrest one night. Gotta love dispatch.

A lot of it depends on the agency. If it's one that plans to put their basics through a medic program after hire, they'll definitely be more interested in someone who has already shown that they can be a successful student. Probably won't increase compensation though.
