How many of you work a second job, career or own your own business in addition to working full time ems or fire? If you do, what do you do, how did you get into it?

How hard is it to state number of students taught vs number that became certified?

Tom, instead of ignoring my previous post completely could you at least reply? On a different note, 900 hours total (classroom and clinicals) seems woefully inadequate for a paramedic program. We did more than that in clinicals alone.

Why do you refuse to give actual statistics (numbers not percentages) for your programs? I am not against or for programs such as yours, but this makes me think you are hiding something, such as the number of students actually taught ect.

Heck, it doesn't even have to be ssm. Just a busy service, long.transfer, ect ect..

I dont see it.as inappropriate, but I also dont see a real point unless it is going to be a comfort to you. Personnally I think the best memorial would be a donation to some type of abuse awareness cause, better screening of foster parents, dhs, child abuse programs, a child abuse recognition...

I get the same wage hourly whether I am working a 24, 12 or whatever.

So you are not a 'critical care paramedic' as your profile states. It sounds to me like you have had or are facing disciplinary action becuase of the report that was filed. It sounds like the state is requesting your to surrender your certificate rather than have them revoke it, because it...

How can you surrender your emt-b when your profile states that you are a 'critical care paramedic' :rolleyes: We dont place nice when people have fudged their experiances/certs

Area is I believe. Also some IFT services in dubuque and iowa city. Dubuque is about an hour north, iowa city about 30 minutes south. I will pm you some contacts tomorrow after I get some sleep.

Handguns are easy since last year. Take a ccw course and apply for a license. It is very difficult to be refused nowadays.

That's my area! I live like 45 minutes.from cedar rapids. Ask me anything you want. Area ambulance service isnt horrible, and is 911 provider for the area. if you don't have a felony conviction you can have a gun don't worry about it, linn county is pretty lax. With new laws that went into the...
