Dr. Parasite, Exactly. Thanks for re-wording what I wrote. Didn't mean any confusion for anyone. Like I and you stated, I was offered an admin job for a Fire Chief. Which means as an Admin, I will be unable to run EMS calls for that department, as an EMT. I'm leaning toward the Admin job, and...

Seirende, thank you for this!

Thank you. I will consider requesting a ride-a-long. That's actually a good idea to me. Thanks again, Berkeman.

Hello Family, So, I have my EMT Cert, and it's good until 2021. However, I was provisionally offered a "desk Job" to be an assistant to a Chief in a FH in the Hudson Valley. The one caveat is that the qualifications need to be confirmed, and if I meet them I can apply. The change in income will...

Sorry all, the original post was removed for some reason. However the EMT was absolutely found safe. 🙏🏻

EMS Family, please feel free to share if any of you have social media...

Great, thanks.

I'm not sure if that can cure what is ailing me, but the good thing is I can overcome it. Thanks though.

Used against me? As in, even blacklisting me to other EMS agencies?

Seems logical, thanks for the advice.

GAD - General Anxiety Disorder. Sometimes, not every day, I get slight anxiety where I need to just stop for a moment, take a deep breath and keep on going. It was worse when it started, but now I've been able to cope with it. It doesn't interfere with my current job. I work in a clinic, and am...

Hello EMS Family, So I've been recently diagnosed (4 months ago) with a small medical diagnosis that has slightly affected my life, but not by much. I can still live, work, socialize, do things with friends and family, and still have as much a normal life as possible. However, my EMT CERT is...

Never2Old, I've been getting conflicting information. I've heard that they do reciprocity if I show them my EMT-B certificate (or even a copy of it) from NYS. I do not have my NREMT, but will look into it. Thanks.

Great, thank you. I will save these documents for when ready to use. Thanks again.

Hi all, I currently hold a NYS Emt-B Cert, and am thinking of moving to Pennsylvania. There's lots of information on the internet on courses in PA, but I just can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. Do I need to take the NREMT? Can I somehow utilize, convert or transfer my...

I subscribe to JEMS - but hard copies no longer are issued I believe. I also read Country Living magazine, they have some helpful tips for wilderness safety and activities. I've attended a few of their fairs as well, and have been lucky to find tools (utility knives and such) for safety in my...

Hi EMS Family, I just passed my EMT exam, (and renewed it after 5 years off the job) and was advised by a fellow EMT to consider applying for an indoor local venue up here to do standby at events, like concerts or sporting events and the such. I would like to apply for it, but am not sure if a)...

I plan on starting off part time, in a volunteer agency. They suggest (require) 16 hours a month which can be divided into 4 hour or 8 hour shifts. I've also thought of per diem at other agencies but those are harder to come by. Privates around here require full time hours, with flexibility for...

Noted, will look into it. Thanks.

Are any of you planning on attending the upcoming EMS Conference in Syracuse, NY in October? I'd like to attend myself, but I haven't taken (or passed/failed) my state test yet (it's next week on 9/20/18), and won't get the results until just after the Conference is over. Any advice whether I...
