Anyone heard much about this? Online didactics, skills training in Abilene, TX, and final training in DFW. Sounds like a good deal, since its a combination of online and on site.

Here's the deal. I had planned on starting EMS courses this fall here in Paris, Tx. I got a job offer as a scribe in Fort Worth (2 hours away). While I can do EMS there, moving is going to be a financial stretch. However, I am thinking about pursuing med school. The experience and...

Anyone been through there? There's a good chance I could be having to uproot soon, so I wouldn't be able to go where I thought I was. Or if you haven't been through there, what's the word on the street about it?

Wondering what kinds of places if any would take on an EMT basic in Virginia, particularly around the Charlottesville area. I'm torn at the moment between going straight through medic school here or doing Basic through finishing my undergrad. Assuming I can get accepted to uni, but that's a...

Not EMS specific, but this totally applies to me at least.

Wondering what kind of advanced certs are out there for EMTs and medics. I know of flight, tactical, and wilderness/SAR, but that's about it. Beyond that, what kinds of advanced certs aren't out there that you'd like to see? Curious.

Also just for fun. New TV show, starring your career. Cast it and give it a brief first episode.

Just for fun. If you were going to write a book about your career and experiences in EMS, what would you call it and give a brief synopsis.

Doing a little skimming through some articles on different models of EMS, so on. I think the idea of a paramedic practitioner is a great idea, honestly. Especially in cutting down BS hospital trips/admissions and in critical care flight settings as a chief crewmember in the absence of a...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I've got a million things to do before I Google it. Anyone know about the TacMed schools, how they train, etc? Also, are there any in Texas or the Southwest? Thanks as always, guys and girls.

Ran across a few of these I thought were hilarious and figured I'd share.

Officially starting in the fall at Paris Jr. College in Paris, TX. Pumped. Who else is going in the fall?

Ok, as you may know, I'm going to be starting EMT-B training this fall. What I'd like to know is this. Those of you who've had experience in both or either, what's the pros and cons of ER vs ambulance? I'm considering doing ambulance full time and ER PRN, so I can get clinical experience for...

Well, I'm a somewhat out of shape 25 year old getting back into my old routine of running/weights and dieting. Starting jogging tomorrow, working up to running my 2-3 mile days again. Been a few years, but I'm pumped. :) So the question is this. Beyond caloric intake and balancing with cardio...

For those of you with Android phones/tablets... If you dug Words With Friends or Scrabble even, I've gotten myself hooked on Wordsy. Look me up, Veritas86. And prepare to get your game on...

Being in the pharmacy, we made our own fun. Sharing 200 square feet with your 12 closest friends cam be a bit wearing at times. That and retail is all sorts of messes up, different story for a different day. Anywho, a joke about nurses one of the RPh's cared to share. Why did the nurse keep...

Hey all. I'm an ex pharm tech planning on becoming an EMT. Beyond that, I enjoy long walks along the beach and gifts and/or cookies are more than welcome. :p Just thought I would officially announce my presence, having lurked for some time. In the words of Mr. Deeds' butler, "Sneaky...
