    Who has leads on paid positions in/around Ukraine

    I was there with Global Rescue as a paramedic from 2017-2018. I would not go back until a cease fire agreement is reached and an intergovernmental peace agency returns to patroling such as the OSCE. Just my 2 cents

    Thoughts on RNs being allowed to challenge Medic exam?

    I don't want to be a nurse. I'm happy for those who do. But you have to see this is one sided right? If you don't, you didn't spend very long working as a paramedic before becoming a nurse.

    Thoughts on RNs being allowed to challenge Medic exam?

    Absolutely the nursing program has more breadth and holistic training at it's core. However I would argue there are paramedics with college degrees who have the right prerecs, with some self directed study could pass the NCLEX. So why not let them? The fact it's completely one sided is just...

    Thoughts on RNs being allowed to challenge Medic exam?

    Lots of good replies here from folks who have both license levels and experience. My take on it is this, it should absolutely be 2 ways. A number of paramedics have college degrees and years of experience including ground critical care transport and HEMS. The fact we're not allowed to challenge...

    What did you do after leaving EMS as a field provider?

    Just curious if anyone has left EMS and changed careers? If so, what do you do know and how do you like it compared to EMS? Also, if you left the field but are still involved in administration or training ect.

    Getting your foot in the door as an EMS instructor

    The post above where helpful. I think in my case, good-timing and a low number of qualified candidates likely played a role.

    Getting your foot in the door as an EMS instructor

    Does anyone have experience as an EMT, Paramedic. or Health Science instructor? If so, how did you get your foot in the door? Was it AHA card classes to gain experience or another way ? When (if ever) in your career did you gain your NAEMSE Instructor Certification? If you taught at a community...
