It all depends on your costs. If you aren't working for a company instructing then you can make whatever you charge -costs. I work both for myself and for my service. At my service I make my regular wage the same as Corky. When I work for myself I make what I charge minus the cost of the card...

My service still has the little rectangular stickers in our trucks from last year's inspections I believe, unless I am getting confused with the volly squad's trucks inspected by the first graders.

I thought by your first post that the ambulance had already been certified by the state. If the truck hasn't been inspected and gotten that little rectangular sticker in the back window then yes, call the state and have them come out and inspect it. I would just go through the truck and make...

My school's EMS was just formed last semester and we are still working a lot of kinks out. We currently only do event standby and the local BLS does all transports. Most of what we do is hand out band aids. We have a couple EMT-Bs and FA/CPR trained individuals working alongside the EMTs. The...

As long as you have everything listed in the NJOEMS inspection sheet (http://www.state.nj.us/health/forms/ems-19.pdf) your agency is on its own to make sure the rig is compliant until the certification for the vehicle is going to expire at which point you call out the state and they re inspect...

Can somebody tell me why I decided to pick up the overnight when there is a full moon out?

I wear my pink shears whenever I'm working. Don't always use them but I've had them for the better part of a year without them disappearing. Back when all I had were black shears they would get dropped on scene, never to be heard from again. If you think the color of the shears make the man...

All units please be advised, NJN is back in service after a bit of a hiatus.

We don't call them blue canaries for nothing!

Atlantic Ambulance also does 911 06-1800 in several towns. They do both transport and 911.

Don't you just love when you're drugged up to the point of near death with a plastic tube shoved down your throat, then stabbed multiple times followed by foreign objects inserted into your body?

I welcomed the new year in an ambulance with the pt who FGB.

24 Elective 24 Core You can take all the CORE modules separately but i would suggest going for a CORE 13 class which gives you all 24 CEUs. With the state of the training fund these days if you are on a volly squad I would get those CEUs quick, if you aren't training fund eligible, I would...

There's something in the air, telling people to do things that get us called out, even my service which is extremely slow compared to Newark is getting called out more than average for acts of violence.

Here is my uniform:

Started at 15... EMT at at 16 SUPER CADET EMT-B at 17, yes I do wear the cape sometimes.

Three cheers for those who dislike the First Grade council. I like my training fund but I don't like being associated with a bunch of yahoos who go volly as a drive on an ambulance for "fun".

I second this, I did at one point buy my own radio, then I left said squad, now it sits there as a really expensive scanner that I sometimes may use on mutual aid calls. Plus once you buy one then you need to program it and the like. If you really really really want one, and you need a...
