    The Official EMTLIFE Introduction Thread

    Welcome! I use to spend my childhood Between the US and South Africa in the late 80s early 90s. I've heard it's changed big time but crime is out of control.

    Tips for a new EMT-B wanting to go on to medic

    I agree go straight to paramedic school. Don't put it off. The longer you put it off the longer you will regret not doing it earlier.

    Alertness During Night Calls

    24s and 48s are shown to not be healthy plan and simple. I use to work 48s and my key to success was sleeping when I could. I would nap any chance I got. Eating healthy was a big point as well cause fast food use to make me feel groggy. I slept like crap in quarters normally. I would recommend...

    ESO EHR + Philips MRx monitor ?'s

    That's good all the hospitals play nice. I have had issues where some of the older docs want a paper one right away in their hand as I come in to rule out or in whatever I think it is.

    National Registry recertification

    If your gonna use the NCCP model for NREMT recert only requires 40 hours total. I like these guys cause they always answer any questions I've ever had. They are pretty well know as well and you could do all the hours needed on your computer cause it's considered "live" training and not...

    ESO EHR + Philips MRx monitor ?'s

    With the outterbox cases and the fact we didn't get keyboards for them I think they will hold up ok. Time will tell though.

    ESO EHR + Philips MRx monitor ?'s

    We did as well and when I run on the rig I love it. Easily take pictures of paperwork and import it plus a ton more. The selling point to our corporate office is they cost like a third of what a tough book cost.

    ESO EHR + Philips MRx monitor ?'s

    I totally understand operations wanting to get away from paper for 12 leads. Those things cost money and going paperless is a way to cut cost. My only question is will you then be transmitting 12 leads to the hospital so they can have a look if need be? Also as far as archiving monitor data I...

    ESO EHR + Philips MRx monitor ?'s

    This is my warning regarding MRX. I hate any time I have to use it with Bluetooth. Connection sucks and is prone to dropping connection. Sending 12 leads via Bluetooth to the computer is horrible. We eventually just turned to printing the strip and scanning into Rescuenet as an attachment if we...

    Older but new EMT working IFT in Dallas, is this bad for my career? Can I have a career?

    Also probationary and training period is different then making Paramedics redo a whole Paramedic program cause you don't think their paramedic program is sufficient. What's so different no indoctrination and kool-aid in other Paramedic programs?

    Older but new EMT working IFT in Dallas, is this bad for my career? Can I have a career?

    I know about KCM1 from my time doing research on their model and delivery method. I have had conversations with their operations and they always where condensending when I questioned why they do it that way in a polite information seeking way. I came in with the idea of trying to take a couple...

    EMT Work Opportunities During the Summer

    Not all privates are revolving doors. While most of your IFT only companies are there are plenty of private 911 companies that are comparable to government run or better.

    EMT Work Opportunities During the Summer

    Summer is a great time for part time or PRN gigs doing event medical/medical standby. Just make sure it's a reputable service and fully covered to do it. AMR hires part time and prn for this year around in some markets.

    But, I'm a pilot.

    HAZMAT is not bomb disposal. Bomb disposal requires evidence collection that fire is not trained to or can keep a chain of custody.
