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...

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

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...

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...

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)...

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...

Hi EMS Family, So, at the risk of sounding like I'm immensely fretting, which I kind of am - I'm seeking advice again on studying for my upcoming state exam next month. As (I think) I mentioned in another post, I regrettably don't feel like I'm confident enough to pass because the course...

Hi All, I've held one study group so far, and it was more like a lecture group instead of a uniform study session. I, and the others, are all in the class together and some of the new content is a bit tricky to immediately comprehend so I'd like to hold another group, but don't want it to be a...

Hello EMS family, I'm having a bit of a burdensome time grasping a complete understanding of the heart in my EMT class; (semi-thankfully, I'm not alone in this feeling in my class). Atrium, vena cavae, directional blood flow, etc... Is there any advice on memorization or comprehension...

Does anyone have any new (or old) acronyms to share for possible studies? I've learned BERPS - Blood Pressure, Eyes, Respirations, Pulse, Skin. Thanks, ~ Estrella

Hello all, I'm currently in an EMT-B Original Course. I was an EMT years ago, but so many years have passed since my cert expired that I opted not to refresh so that I can get a thorough curriculum. However, the Instructor is not using the textbook the company requested the students obtain...

Hi all, My EMT cert expired in 2013. I was certified in 2010, and volunterred once a month at a local hospital for 6 months, and then 3 months at an EMS agency. But because I was unable to run after that, I let the card expire. Now I’m able to fully partake and want to start again. I have an...
