    Paramedic Certificate to Degree

    They’re definitely making the pursuit of higher education much easier nowadays. And, my National Registry is finally paying off all these years later. I’m glad I’ve kept it up. I still can’t wrap my head around nursing school. I’ve tried, I just can’t.

    TBD. It’s supposed to roll out at the beginning of 2023 is my understanding. They mentioned a paramedic refresher also being in the works, so all good and promising things. I know when me and the others from our base went they were in between filming the courses for it. I’d imagine comparable...

    Truthfully I’ve procrastinated quite a bit this recert cycle. That and all of the AMC training the last six months. Side note, stoked about the Ascent rollout.

    Didn’t realize until I called the NREMT yesterday that the con-ed requirement changes are permanent, so now it can be live or distributive for all CE required. I was under the impression it was merely a temporary Covid thing. Awesome. Finally, they made it way more convenient.

    Emergency the Tv show turns 50

    Anyone that’s in and around the SoCal area who’s a fan, definitely worth the visit. They’ve restored all of the vehicles have some cool merch signed by most of the cast members and it’s only $5 a head. My son and I had a blast. My wife was a sweet, and very patient bystander.

    Too much Tapatillo in the diet, bruh…. In all seriousness, @mgr22 hit the nail on the head. Nothing new. Take the higher road, aka, the road less traveled. Really, it’s a personal choice//shrugs//…

    Train accident

    Early twenties and already on the flight line? Nice job, it took myself and many of my colleagues several years to attain our positions. Definitely worth noting. I know of at least one base in my region (specifically in our program) that rotates residents through to meet training and...

    If your areas program/s don’t shut down for their scenes, please get in the habit of closing the doors until the med crews arrives at bedside.

    HEMS in Southern California

    My base was acquired by AMC at the beginning of the Summer. I’m pretty pleased and can honestly say they’ve taken care of all clinicians thus far who’ve stayed. Coming from a true “Mom’n’Pop Shop” of a CCT program, it’s definitely a step back into Corporate America, but not a bad one by any...

    Agency dependent, still the only job that would pull me off of a helicopter at this point in my career.

    There’s ALWAYS next year. Kind of rooting for the Pads to at least make it to the WS. And by no means am I a Machado fan.

    When I worked for AMR in the South Bay, their Carson station was up the street from “station 51”. True to its SoCal-ness nothing much has changed. I always found it ironic that there wasn’t a squad out of that particular station; not sure if there is now. I think AMR Glendale used to cover...

    Transported a patient a few years back who was desperately in need of surgical repair and had been waiting at the referring ED for Kaiser’s approval to a non-Kaiser tertiary center for an unnecessary amount of time. It was (or seemed) great when I lived within a stones throw from a handful full...
