Hey! I'd like to reach out to you and have a conversation regarding the EMS climate in southern central/eastern MN. If you'd be up for a brief chat, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I can try to answer your questions. I have spent most of my career working the suburbs of Minneapolis. The companies I work for also cover rural areas.

Question! One of my skills steps is to preoxygenate the patient by ventilating the patient with 100% O2 via BVM forn2-3 mins! What does that mean? Get there saturations to 100%? Or place BVM on high flow?

Thank you Jim! I was just accepted into KCC’s EMT program and was so excited to hear the good news! The interview to get into the program is the same as the Fire Department :) I hope to see you on the road someday or in the Department coming in as a recruit!

Weeks are 36 hrs and 48hrs .. the 36 jr weeks are paid at 40 hrs to meet full time requirements, the 48hrs, the extra 8 are an automatic overtime.

Cant comment on rules regarding picking up extra shifts for OT but my understanding is it's fairly unlimited)

Hi ExpatMedic0. I'm new to EMTLife, I tried to find a way to massage/email you directly. Do you know how has the flight contract with Saudi Red Crescent? I know PHI had it in the past. Now it seems to be mostly South Africans working on the flight side for SRCA. Thank you. Erik

Hey Erik, It's been a decade since I worked there, I'm not sure who has the contract currently. In the past Alpha star aviation, Abu Dhabi Aviation, PHI all had different contracts with SRCA HEMS. There have also been periods when the SRCA has contracted with no one, hires directly. Not sure what the current status is. If you find out feel free to let me know

The Paramedic Coach has good videos and course work information online. Really beneficial its worth trying. Also Limmer has beneficial books, guides and questions available. Please do not hesitate to email me if I can help in any way. My address: *removed* (Raymond Guy)

I'm looking for some information regarding the Mayo Clinic ambulance. Do you have the time to chat about a few things?

MedStar is a good place to start at any level. If not there, CHRISTUS out in Longview, UT Health EMS, Acadian or any of the local 911 services are good, then AMR (low pay).

I live in Dallas, not sure if I'd want to make the drive out to Longview haha. It's not as easy for me to uproot and go. I have a wife and son as well. But I was looking into MedStar or AMR Farmers Branch, but AMR has a pretty crappy pay scale.

Hello Jim,
I have an oral interview for McCormick on Monday. Anything in specific you could think of that I might need to know? (I've already taken the written/trauma scenario). Also, How likely is it that McCormick will hire someone straight out of their EMT class?

Hey sorry for the late reply, don't really check these profile messages... anyways, looking at the date stamp I'm sure you already did the interview, hopefully you passed! But otherwise the interview is fairly standard stuff from what I remember (it has been like 3-1/2 years now)

While we are confident that these will comply with all regulatory requirements, it is very important for our team to obtain validation from Emergency Responders that will use our systems on a daily basis. Would you be interested in participating in a focus group session?

Hello Tigger, First of all I will like to congratulate you on all your experience and for taking the time to actively share your knowledge on this website. Our Research and Development team is in the process of designing several elements in an Ambulance Setting.

Finished EMT Course and passed NREMT. Currently going through the hiring process at the local ambulance company and helping out with the new EMT class as an extra hand, which is nice because it keeps the information fresh and keeps me in contact with the instructors.

Hello! I'm Jaysen. I just signed up here and found your post back in February about expired EMT cert. I posted a reply to it tonight in case it may help you. Since your post is a couple months old I thought I'd send you a message to see if you have had any success in getting your certs back.
