    Working outside of EMS, should I continue to hold onto my EMT certification?

    Check with your local hospitals, especially the teaching ones, as well as any aeromedical services in your area. I am a bit of a training nut, and can tell you from personal experience that all the necessary CEUs you may want or need can be had for little to no cost to you* *there are some...

    Shooting Prep.

    This is important. But another thing to consider when it comes to busses is that you're figuring that you have an MCI, right? Each EMS region in TN (And this is if I remember correctly. I know for a fact it applies to Region 2) has an AMBUS. Essentially it is a classic schoolboys that has been...

    Pilot Licenses and Becoming a Flight Medic

    As a fellow Tennesseean, this only applies to the 4 major metropolitan areas. Outside of those areas, you maybe can fly and be a medic, but the chances of chewing gum are then related to your access to a teethbrush,...

    Why do people hate on LA County protocols?

    I'm 100% certain that if I am calling medical control that I want an MD on the other end of the line. I won't even allow a nurse to relay the orders, I have to speak with the MD directly. And should I ever be a supervisor, I'm 100% sure I wouldn't be comfortable acting as medical control. That's...

    international student advice

    As a further edit, I did find my old account while looking for where I saw Mr. Brown in the past using the search bar. Yay! I can chat now. Anyways, I was a little off. Apparently a d-nozzle from my home state did Brown and his woman dirty, and it was very shortly after that that Brown left...

    Hunting for a job in TN

    Anyone know of any agencies hiring in East/Southeast/Middle Tennessee? I've had some rather bad luck with getting laid off in the past, so I have plenty of employment history, but it seems when I find a job that I think is going to last and pay well, I get laid off. I really want to break the...

    Preparations in your house

    Yes, that is R. Lee Ermy there. However, for my disaster supplies I have a whole different approach. I have 4 horses, a covered wagon, and food and water supplies to last me a good long while. (I'm not kidding about the horses either) Being in the mountains of the south, I do have several...

    Related jobs for a 15 year old?

    Being in Tennessee myself, one of the best programs that I can recommend to any young person wanting to learn more about Emergency Services is Civil Air Patrol. That is how I got into Emergency Services, and I know there are several units in your area. Admittedly, there is not much there when it...

    NYPD vs FDNY

    Neither Fire, nor police, nor ems. 3rd service rescue, like is common here in Tennessee. Let Fire do fire, let EMS do EMS, let LE do LE. I believe Rescue should do rescue. To me, combining these services is like saying Fire-based EMS is the greatest thing since sliced bread (no offense to the...

    You know you are an EMT/Paramedic when...

    Can't say I have ever had that problem. However, you know you've been working too much when you get off shift and, instead of going home, crawl into the back of your POV for a nap because you just know your phone is going to ring (i.e.-the next shift is a full moon, holiday, etc, etc. and you...
