I am a NY certified EMT who is moving to Michigan this summer and will remain there for at least 4 years. My certification expires in approximately two years. I was planning to participate in a 3-day course that would provide all of the CME's needed to re-cert. First question: Would these...

Patient has slipped and fallen in the bathroom and now has significant deformity to the neck. The head is extremely angulated and you suspect significant trauma to the cervical spine. The PT is alert and talking. This is not a homework question and I haven't heard of a scenario such as this...

I belong to a private EMS company that relies entirely on the community. I have a few ideas for promotion and was curious if you guys could offer any advice or tips. - Local fliers of course. Our name, number, and catchy slogan - Brief advertisement to air on our local news channel. I'll...

I had a few questions that a brief search didn't answer, and since my eyes are about to bleed from staring at the screen I've stopped searching the NREMT website. How often is the exam offered? Do spots fill up quickly if at all? How early should one register? Thank you kindly!

My company has an umbrella policy but I'm told I can also pick up my own malpractice insurance (New York). I hear it's pretty cheap. Obviously there are pros- any cons?

Just a rant here. I had debated becoming an EMT before because I thought it would be fun- so far it has been. But I had originally decided against the endeavor because I had read some shocking stories online. Responding to a rape victim and it's your friend, things of that nature. Instead...

This might be in the wrong section but I have some questions regarding applications to hospitals. I'm currently in the EMT course. I realized that I have yet to put it on my resume, although I have been including it in my cover letters. Does EMS school go under education or...

So it's my first week of EMT class and I've had trouble getting a clear answer out of my coworkers regarding what the quizzes are like. I mainly ask because the anatomy chapter is about 50 pages (I know that isn't much) but I could literally spend days going over this stuff while...

Someone actually said this to me the other day regarding the EMT-B course. I am of course going to read the book. It seems evident to me that the best application of a skill comes from solid conceptualization of why you're carrying out that task in the first place. Can anyone expound upon...

I've noticed that the general diet/lifestyle of EMS workers is atrocious. I think about 2/3 of the workers at my station smoke cigarettes and when I observed in NYC, every paramedic I met smoked as well. On top of that their diets are strictly take-out and usually calorically-dense items. Now...

I've been checking youtube for some good EMT training vids and it's been relatively helpful, although it seems that every video has a few individuals who take issue with the technique or advice given. I learn best through visual so any videos that will prep my for the course would be great.

I'm new here and just wanted to say 'hello'. I'll be starting my EMT-B training late September and I plan on taking it very seriously. I also hope to eventually get a job as a medical assistant with my EMT training/experience. Any tips for someone going into the course? All advice is accepted...
