I was just logging in to the IBSC to check on my date for renewal for my FP-C. Man, they have like 10 certifications now. Wilderness paramedic-certified? Lol? Medical transportation control? Designated infection control officer? IBSC really watering down. What a shame; they should have stopped...

Technically space is international. So SpaceX is is hiring contract Paramedics. Must be licensed in FL, work a few weeks/months annually. The caveats are that you are explicitly not a SpaceX employee, but are just a low level support person. Soooo- is this a ticket to Mars? Or more likely...

Anyone here activated? DRT, DMAT, FEMA? I got the call but sadly could not get off work this week. Now just 7mph winds short of a category 5 storm, Ida is expected to annihilate the Louisiana coast this afternoon. Severe flooding and unsurvivable storm surge expected. All this to a place that...

I wasn’t really sure where to post this, so I figured here is as good a place as any. The pandemic brought me more experience and more growth both professionally and personally as one could imagine. I went on multiple contracts for COVID assignments that have rewarded me richly down many...

This is not a debate for or against or a thread to argue the merits of “this is the job” vs “this is not the job.” But I’ll be damned... it might just actually happen...

Hey guys. Does anyone know of any states that are fast tracking certification for paramedics with minimal hoops during this COVID thing or that already did prior to? I have my NR and CCT cert, just need a state cert/license pronto... thanks in advance.

Looking to see what’s out there. I saw one from OnsiteOHS... anyone know of any other contract agencies that are spot hiring medics or EMTs? This is for COVID related jobs... not for AMR or your department.

Does NREMT still mail wallet cards and wall certificates for framing? My renewal shows approved for over a month now, but it says please print your new certificate. Budget cuts or do they send them en masse later?

Anyone have a line on movie and television production work as a medic or medical consultant? Has anyone done this work, either union or non-union? To clarify- I do not mean a private ambo/event company that does standby type stuff at on movies. Google did not turn up the information I’m...

Due to the nature of the work and the sad truth that these crashes are far too common, combined with related threads that are often spread out among the news, employment, lounge, and HEMS/AMT forums, I have created this thread for all HEMS/AMT adverse events. A single point for discussions...

Happy New Year, all. It’s almost the end of the year, the decade, and the generation. 2020 is knocking on the door and will be here in just a few days. I am a proponent of bettering oneself, and I love to see others plan for and achieve success. What are your goals to improve or change your...

I mean... do military aviators crash this much? Commercial? Everyone wants to talk intubation being a hot issue and suicide prevention... Yeah, they’re issues, sure... BUT Here is an in-your-face issue that get swept away after a few weeks. Why in the **** are EMS aircraft always crashing and...

How about that for a training scenario. Having to walk on cars to get to do your triage. What a mess! https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/63-vehicle-pileup-in-virginia-results-in-injuries/2190964/

Y’all seen this?! Haha. I had to laugh. Wait until the whackers get ahold of these bad boys. Reminds me of a goal post... going for a code 3 field goal back at the station! https://www.whec.com/news/new-york-state-police-vertical-light-bars/5577301/#.XfK9_w7FrRk.facebook

Are we allowed to say Merry Christmas still? Is it too early? I don’t care... Merry Christmas you savages. 🎄 And I hope 2020 brings you joy and treats you well. Be safe and be good to each other out there.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. If you’re working, be safe and try to find some good grub. If you’re not, enjoy the day of parades, football, and food with family and friends..

Promising to be a walloping storm to FL and possibly the SE coast. Anyone here going on a team or live in the AO? Going as DRT/DMAT/USAR/other? Lots of resources are being prepped and deployed for Dorian. Stay safe and good luck. I wish I was going, but I’ll be sitting this one out watching...
