    Haz-Mat Awareness?

    Potential job opportunity that I applied for at a local hospital emailed me wanting documentation (Emt license, EVOC, etc.) and included in their list was Haz-Mat awareness. Does the FEMA course covers that requirement? Or do I need something completely different for it?

    Vegetarians?

    Any other vegetarians? I've been vegetarian for almost a year now. I seem to be a rarity in this field, in my area. Lead to quite the teasing with some of my preceptors. I had a difficult time finding things other than salad to take with me on the truck. Nor can I rely taking anything that...
