This is very good advice, in my opinion. I was down-sized after 13yrs. at my old job. I got my EMT-B at 42yrs old while I was laid off for something to do. I work for a private ambulance company now. I absolutely love my job and the people I work with. Downside is that the pay is low. I'm...

I searched here w/o any luck. What is the "proper" execution of the Draw Sheet Method of moving a patient from bed to cot or vise versa? Every partner I have ran with has done it where EMT1 (positioned with the cot between them and the patient bed) pulls toward the cot and EMT2 on the other...

Plenty of talk on "what" you carry on your person, at work but I'm curious to hear "how" you carry it. I hate the bulk of my cuff and scope in my cargo pockets. Do any of you use a pack or pouch for your personal equipment? Thanks

Do they make lace in zippers for 6" boots? Yes, I'm that lazy. I wear Haix if that matters. Thanks

Sorry about the wrong forum thing. I'll try to be more diligent next post. To be more clear, I am applying at private ambulance companies and want to know what to expect, that's all. If people didn't put posts in the wrong spots occasionally, what would the moderators have to do? :glare:

Did any of you have to take a test given by your perspective employer?? Thanks

LMAO! My kids have that exact flashlight! It even "roars" when you push the button.

We are using the same book but the 11th edition in my class. The workbook quizzes seem to jive with the text but the test questions are not. We were told that the tests questions are randomly generated by the the Brady software. When our asst. instructor looked at the mid-term, she agreed the...

Right on! Works great!

Ah yes. I saw that one at allheart. Thanks folks.

I need to get a cuff for school and wanted to get some advice. Nothing helpful in the search results. Thanks

That's the trouble I had. Everything I already had said "Police". I didn't want to catch any crap using that gear, although it was in good shape. I was just trying to let that other clown know that I'm no kid punk. As a Cop, gear failure is expensive and potentially deadly. I refuse to skimp on...

9th edition here.

I have over 140 credit hours. Schooling at night allows me to work during the day. What concerns me the most is family insurance during my 4-6mos. ride-a-long period and if I can make enough $$$ until I earn my medic certif.

Changing careers for the third time. Cop -> Salesman -> EMT student. I'm shooting for EMT-P. I must be crazy starting all over again at 42yrs. old but I got laid off, so........ School starts Mon. 1/04/10. Let's see what the old man has left in him! :unsure:

I don't put to much faith in the test linked below. I haven't even started school yet and I passed. Yikes! http://www.emtportal.com/Login.asp?

Do you suggest them for EMT-B school and beyond? Anybody have theirs collecting dust that they might part with? Thanks, Lefty

Thank you for your help. I just don't want to look like some 21yr. old punk. I'm no stranger to school or continuing education. I am switching careers. Maybe I should carry my Police tactical/sniper gear instead. I have plenty of that.

I guess I should have said "for my personal items" rather than "daily use".

I'm starting EMT classes 1/04/10. (I know...."turn back now...don't do it") I want a quality backpack for school that can become my personal bag for daily carry once I get a job. I believe in quality for lasting power but don't want to be a whacker, showing up the 1st day of class with a...
