I'm noticing that hfd isn't Well liked around here... It may not the best in the country, but experience is the best teacher. In Houston, hfd is probably the best if someone is looking for real world experience that exposes them to situations That's not found at transport services. I've...

If you want action, HFD is the way to go but you need to be a firefighter as well. Ive rode with them a few times and it was never boring. The best was at Station 8 in Downtown. We made some very interesting calls and rarely made it back to the station.

True, we never stop being a student of life. Our graduation is our funeral.

Do you remember back when you were first let off your leash? No more clinicals, ride-alongs, or preceptors. What kind of service did you ride with? Did it feel like when you were still in training, but less people? What were your major fears on that first shift of the rest of your life? Im...

Im working on my paramedic and I would also like to know of any opportunities overseas. I have wanted to live near London since my first trip there but changing citizenship seems too troublesome just for this job.

I had a guy who claimed to have a seizure at a Jack in the crack but was just out of his mind. He had a butter knife in his back pocket that my partner took out right as I got there. He starts yelling And cussing telling us not to steal from him. Then He made this threat to her " I will buy...

$5 per call. $10 after 10. Only after you are cleared as a 2nd. Im still riding as a third. The orientation for me was pretty boring. Just sat there while they read off a sheet.

Community fire department seems to always be hiring. It's volunteer but it's something. HFD is hard to get into

Get the best of both And be an arson investigator

I'm an introvert so I sometimes have trouble taking command, but I feel it helps with managing psych patients. I listen to What they say, And I may be new but it seems That's What most of them really need even if it's all bull:censored::censored::censored::censored:. I haven't met anyone else...

I think y'all are taking that too seriously. Though I would change the MPH. I don't even go that slow in my own car.

I met the grim reaper once. I love psych patients. :D

Just found out I passed!

Just took the I85. It stopped just short of 140.

It is still on me because I need to learn How to work with these fellows. Technically I'm the least qualified but I understand my preceptors encouragement to act like the lead. I also think that because of tonight's shift, it's probably partly due to tiredness. I didn't notice till now because I...

It may not be their duty but they seem to make it work. They just don't see me as one of them yet. My guess at least. I've worked with Houston firefighters before. I just don't know How to play on their level especially as the rookie, And a rookie that That's not even on their crew. Rob- they...

He is an intermediate but we also have a paramedic that usually follows. The firefighters are also trained emts And they work in sync with my guys. Its just that I have to bob And weave between them And the patients family. I guess I should just forget the formality of trying to say excuse me. I...

Volunteer. I might be able to do one or two things on scene so Ill do all the secondary stuff as we're going. It is helpful to have all these fire guys helping us out, but I have other reasons I need to show them what I can do. Im just a third right now, but after my preceptor says Im good...

I just got my first EMS job at a local volunteer station and Ive done two night shifts so far. We are usually behind the truck on calls so there is always a bunch of people in a usually small room. During clinicals, most preceptors didnt seem to care what I did and I just hung back thinking I...

Im about to be attending their paramedic program as well. My basic and Intermediate was at another campus so Im not sure how classes are at the main campus. Ive been pretty satisfied with the program overall.
