    Theory vs. Practice

    Sounds like it's kind of like the IT field's A+ rating. Earning it means you are ready to start learning.

    THe REal Reason you became an EMT-B

    I'm in the process of becoming one because 15 years chained to a repair bench with printers and computers on it really got old.

    Duty to Act while on duty

    I can see both sides. I'm just looking at it from the standpoint of the TA victims as those who are conscious watch a medic unit approach and keep going. Put another way, suppose a cop and his partner were to witness a mugging but were unable to do anything about it until dispatch told them...

    Duty to Act while on duty

    I admit to not knowing all the ins-and-outs of how things are done on the street, but from this angle, it sounds like a decision that came from the bureaucratic side of the business rather than the medical side.

    Privacy and EMS

    Good to know, got a chuckle out of that. Odd as it may sound, it's fortunate that there's no way I could survive FF training at this point, that will help keep the grocery bill down.

    Theory vs. Practice

    Apologies if this has been asked before, or if it (re)opens a can of worms. How different does actual field work tend to be from what is taught/learned in the classroom? I'm skeptical that the theory would even apply most of the time, much less all the time. As a frame of reference, our...

    Essay test for hiring. Why do you want to be a firefighter paramedic?

    Unfortunately, businesses in general today seem more interested in form than function. I've been criticized more than once for having a resume that gets to the point without being all "fancied up". So really the best answer to that question will depend on the collective mindset of those who...

    Idiot question of the day

    Where in the User CP does one go to add a sig line? Have looked through there and can't seem to find a place to do that. Thanks

    Privacy and EMS

    I am nearing completion of EMT-B training, and one particular thought keeps running through my head. I've never been one to want attention, or be in the spotlight. I'm not at all interested in fame, and for the most part, I'm content to just watch the world go by. I've already been through...

    Finding a Job as a Green Emt?

    Am about to have to start the job search also, fortunately Summer is approaching and COS has a lot of tourist traps. One bit of advice my instructor gave me is to go to each of the agency offices in person to drop resumes instead of using the net or calling to ask if they're hiring. It will...

    Essay test for hiring. Why do you want to be a firefighter paramedic?

    I freely admit to still being an EMT-B student, but a relatively older one, and I've had some time to see how the world works. Having said that, one of many lessons I've learned is that honesty is most decidedly NOT the best policy. In this case, it's probably wise to tell them what they want...

    Thanks. My gf thought I was losing my mind, was laughing uncontrollably at some of the things in EMS humor.
