So as some of you may know (or not know), I recently got hired on with two companies. One is a strictly ALS/911 company, and the other is a mixed BLS/ALS company. With the ALS company, I should be getting decent hours right off the bat. It's a medium sized company, with new equipment. Aside...

I recently picked up a somewhat current infamous MarieB A&P books. As you may know or not know I'm waiting to go to Medic school and trying to get ahead. Glancing through the book there seems to be some stuff I won't necessarily need right now, so I want to focus on the important aspects...

Looking for any recently published EMT-B/EMT-P or Anatomy/Physiology books. Send me a PM with what you're trying to sell! Of course I will pay shipping/paypal fees. I have tons of E-Bay feedback, and I am PayPal premier and verified.

Job situation: Working full-time and part-time at two local ALS ambulance companies. School situation: Going on and off part-time to my local California University. Career goals: To become a Paramedic and to finish/continue my schooling into a graduate/higher education level. Now my...

This is a branch off the other thread a member made regarding preparing for Medic school. Since I was the one who asked him what his preparation course was like, I thought I would expand on it a little bit. What textbooks (for those of you who are going through, or went through) for Medic...

So a lot of people have tons of questions regarding their driving record. It made me think, statistically, how many people DO have accidents/infractions on their record? I am willing to bet more than 50% of EMS employees have been cited for something traffic related, regardless of what it is...

So, it looks like I have landed two jobs. One job is in a large city in my County that's offering me "part-time" position starting off but it will give me full-time + hours. That's just how they start their employees. Second job is for the smaller town in my County and it is really part-time, 20...

Not completely sure if the title makes sense, but let me explain. I'm trying to make EMS my career, from start to finish. I'm getting a second and somewhat later start in life but at least I've done it before and I know it's what I want to do now. So what are logical steps, and what's a logical...

So there has been a lot of threads lately about EMS jobs, wages and so on. I can understand why a little easier now, especially here in California. Some may know or not know, but CA finally implemented their state wide registry system and it's now searchable. I recently came across this...

How many of you wear straight leg regular EMS/EMT pants WITHOUT the cargo/leg pockets? I'm honestly not a huge fan of them. I wear a long sleeve uniform shirt every all the time, even in the summer due to tattoos, plus I find the look more professional. Anything I need to carry directly I can...

The title is an oxymoron, but it's true. Some of you may know or not know that I've been searching for a job in California for about a month. I'm getting back into EMS, I worked in the field for about 5 months in early 2007. Then I did a few other things, Animal Science/Law Enforcement...

I know there's a lot of variables when it comes to EMS, but here's a hypothetical question. Say you're an EMT-B wanting the absolute best opportunity for a long-term career in EMS and you're willing to move where ever that mythical place might be. So I guess the discussion should be on the...

So I originally took my EMT class in late 06, and took the NREMT computer test first week of 07. Passed first try, everything was great. Went into another field (Probation Officer) and let my NREMT/State licenses lapse. So now, after figuring out I want to continue a career in EMS and become...
