OMG....this is insane...I thought my course was intense...mine lasted a lot longer than 3 months...what about clinicals with accelerated program. When my medic class finished we all felt burnt out...After this 3 month thing their brains should be goo with almost no retention.. my brain...

That is not bad for a basic...but the cost of living is higher as well

um...NO...I was merely commenting on his response that seemed to overly saturated with sarcasm...I was commenting strictly on sarcasm and not what he said... I don't like it any more than anyone else here...I am sure that if the camp had 20 ppl, we might see 1 or 2 decent basics come from...

3 month Paramedic class? are you serious, someone can become a medic in only 3 months? this is a scary thought? is this for real?

Being that you do have training,be it international, you may want to look into National registry. If national registry lets you sit for the test based off your international training, a national registry card goes a long way in most states... I do national registry is accepted in Canada...I...

oooh, the sarcasm...it is dripping all over the place...you better clean up your mess...

Run hot if you are still under the 3 hr window and depending on the hospital you are taking them to (If they are designated a Stroke Center there is 3, 6, 12 hour window but the regular hospitals it is only a 3 hr window). and if you can't get them to the hospital inside 2 hours of onset, it is...

If you need a certain pay to survive and $9/hr doesn't cover it, stay in your current office job and go per diem somewhere to get your experience. I don't know what pay is for a basic in Kansas or even how they are deployed (911/transfers). I don't know anywhere that pays a basic a survivable...

Where are you taking this course? which part of PA? After completion of the test you are notified by mail. pass or fail they mail you the info. or they did, but I doubt things have changed that much. Not really sure what to tell you brush up on. you can go over your 1st responder book...

This one was great...I laughed so hard I couldn't talk...I needed that... ok so I guess I have a few...it appears that the funnier ones seem to have already been taken... Remember that it is not our emergency. If you hear someone at the station say "I've seen it all" wait 15 minutes and...

We are not attacking you for your age. NOT at all. I am sure most of us commend you for your efforts and energy and desire at such a young age. I never even knew your age until someone posted it here. Looking back through this entire thing, most of what you posted and the way posted makes a...

ok..1st I always have O2 with me and 1st in bag...it is like my american express card...I don't leave the bus without them... but when I have been asked about O2 it was definitely meant as "did I check my tanks today", because there is usually utter amazement on their faces when we tell we...

Amen brother

Stay at Sears...It probably pays more I wish I was kidding

I guess I should have been more specific with that question. I was aiming that questions more at nurses in hospitals or nursing homes. I have been asked more times than I can count, if we carry oxygen on the rig. we call it a bus here as well...as well as many other things...lol but you...

You can never forget where you started. WE were all Basics once. Some of us even started as 1st responders. I have never forgetten that once upon a time I knew nothing, had no experience, and no confidence. Over the years, I gained experience and confidence....and, well...ok, so I still...

Ems= earn money sleeping

That is kind of messed up. It is like knowing the FDA allows a certain amount of bugs and rat droppings in pre-packaged foods... But seriously thank you for the info...I never knew that

And we only use 5% of the O2 in the air with each breath. This is why mouth to mask is actually an effective method.

I just figured I would tell briefly about a call that had a few humorous points. I am not asking for an evaluation. just trying to make everyone smile. So I get a call to a mall for an OD. I got updated while en route that it was the Sears parking lot and there were 2 OD patients. -->Who...
