The forum is well aware of how ****ty it is haha
 
It's really bad! I'm just trying to save others from making the mistake of working in ems/ ift in LA county.
 
I hear Texas is good.
 
Mmm whole blood in a 911 environment and don't even remember how to call a nurse for orders...

hmmmmm, whole blood in a 911 environment.... think of the possibilities....

and I can honestly say in 3 states I have never worked in a system where we had to call a nurse for order, it was always a doctor on the other end of the phone.

North Carolina is always looking for Paramedics. And apparently so is Texas,
 
According to my Medic class though which is based out of LA County, They just had a Massive protocol revision which add's tons of standing orders and eliminates the mother may i For 911.

Now granted 96% of everyone is still doing IFT, but at least LAFD is having more fun..... Lol.
 
We just got TXA approved in Riverside Co. and from what my pal @DesertMedic66 has told me it sounds like were getting Ketamine approved too. So its not all bad.

TXA and Ketamine are approved at the state level as of July 1st so now it is up to each individual county on if they want to put it in their protocols.

Im pretty sure ketamine is still in a pilot program for isolated extremity injury pain management in ICEMA only, I do not think it has been added to the state scope, same with TXA being pilot only. Do you have any site or link that can prove otherwise?

TXA has been approved by the state. Ketamine is still in study in Riverside county (REMSA) and San Bernardino county (ICEMA). Ketamine can be used for any traumatic pain or burns regardless of location (ABD pain, chest pain, or extremity).

TXA was approved a couple of months ago

Do you still have to call for orders for everything?
 
Come to Houston, you can't throw a rock round here without hitting an agency that's hiring. Some of them don't even suck :)
 
Lake Jackson, Clute, Angleton, Pearland FD, Fort Bend, HFD, Atascocita right now.
 
I think we got a pretty damn good system in Multnomah County. Progressive protocols, good medical benefits, and our pay is solid especially after our recent union contract. We got our issues just like every private EMS agency.
