We seem to run code to every call, it's really starting to piss me off. I mean it saved us MAYBE like 2-3 minutes the other day, and that was with a 30 minute transport.

Contrary to my screen name, I actually hate running code 3, ESPECIALLY with a pt in the back. 95% of the calls we get dispatched code 3 to end up being code 4 runs. I run out to maybe 25% of the calls code 3. Of those I run about 5% back code 3. Then there is the occasional call where you run out non priority and then have to run priority back in.

So yea.....I chose that screen name back before I really knew anything about EMS and was a brand, brand, BRAND noob. Ha ha ha! I've had people at work ask me, "So, why is your screen name for stuff lightsandsirens of your hate running code 3 so much?"

I actually had a discussion the other day with a coworker on this topic. I mean we run code 3 to a lot of calls, and out of those calls only like <10% are actually transported code 3, I just don't get it.

Transport, I'm sorry :(
 
thanks guys. Also just applied today for City of Beaumont EMS... Anything to get out of NM at this point :D

Just looking at it... They changed it. I'm longer eligible to apply for anything other than EMT-B in Oregon.

How in the hell does that work? Does it say what makes you unqualified to be an EMT-I in Oregon?

I'm not an I/99... I'm an I/85 per NR. And they don't recognize state EMT-I certs, so the extra skills that my TX EMT-I cert gives me don't count there.

Not sure. They just say that they only take I/99 for EMT-I reciprocity.
