Hey, EMTLife! It's been a long time, I hope you all are doing well. Are you a full-time EMS professional on an ambulance, in the ER, or in a dispatch center? I need you! Volunteer EMS workers are welcome, as long as you have full-time hours every week in EMS. Firefighters are welcome, as long...

Hey everyone. How are you guys? It's been a while! I was just accepted to paramedic school (yay! also eek!) and I remembered this place is a great resource for all things EMS. I'll be doing a year-long "part time" program while working full time, trying to maintain a different part time...

(Yes, Kev, I used the search function before this one!) I thought this would be fun. Why did you choose to pursue EMS (or fire, because we have a few you here, too)? I'll post mine in a bit...

Lately, especially on my rides during class, I've been hearing a few EMTs talk about "FI". It's always in a, "hey, have you done FI yet?" or "You'll just go straight through FI" sort of way. I've been meaning to ask, but it always comes up in conversations I'm not a part of, and I don't want...

Hi all, I'm new. I'm just finishing my EMT-B class and will take the final/NR exam in 2 weeks! I love this stuff, and I hope to get to know y'all!
