  1. As a former student and a friend of Janes I am sure she is trustworthy.
  2. Rely on your services insurance and lawyers? They are going to do all they can to protect your service even if it means throwing you under the bus. If your service gets sued by your patient you will be sued as well whether you have insurance or not. You may have nothing but if a judgement made against you all future earnings and lottery winnings will see money taken out to pay the judgement. If you own anything liens may be placed. If you check out the insurance it is cheap because very few EMS people are sued successfully. My policy covers my attorney so I do not have to rely on the service attorney who does not have my best interests at heart. $150+- is not much to pay to know my assets will not suffer harm if I am ever sued.
  3. Never took a class there but did take classes with the founder of it when she owned then worked for another site. If you are going to take an online program no one better than Jane at percom as she believes in quality education.
  4. You asked what happens immediately at death. From the bible comes this answer. “For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
  5. I agree if done right could be a good resource. But based on what little info lots of red flags.
  6. Seriously?????? Did you not read the other posts before attacking? Ruff already was given that info and even replied.
  7. Unless you already have your passport to late to try and go. Plus seems pretty fishy. Noticed same posts but for LVN to RN at other sites.
  8. Sorry for the attacks. You will find many opinionated people here and other EMS forums. Don't know the school you talk about. I suggest you contact Jane at http://percomonline.com/CAST%20Marathon/index.php "PERCOM the global leader in online EMS Education is pround to offer this Global Package to students worldwide. Students enrolled in PERCOM's Online EMT Basic CAST Marathon Course will have the opportunity to complete all didactic work, including the Final Exam, in the online environment.

This EMT Online Course offering from PERCOM has limited space available for each session and is offered on a first come first serve basis." She offers online as well as in classroom in an expedited way. Tell her I sent you.
  9. Dwayne the "knee jerk" is because some of us see the danger in contacting an unknown person. This guy could be a predator that gets gullible people looking for their 15 minutes of fame and attacks them. This is a scam used by many a sick individual. You can find old news report of perverts advertising for actresses, models, etc then raping and even killing them. So he lists some supposed credits and supposed websites. It is easy to make fake websites that seem to support your claims. Oh and if I search the name I might find that name is a producer. But hey there is no way we know that is actually who you are contacting here. So perhaps his method throws up red flags. I hope he is legit. If done right would be neat. But sadly if a producer he will show the single mom looking for a new baby daddy. He will portray the single moms as easy. Why because it sex sells. Look at the reality shows. they do all they can to get strangers to sleep with each other. To the OP if you are real I apologize, but I hope you see where I am coming from. I do not want any of my friends to get hurt. I do hope if you are legit you will get some of us experienced providers involved behind the seems to help make sure that you do portray our profession in a positive light.
  10. Has the sound of a low budget porn company.
  11. Well that saying has been around since before you were probably a twinkle in your dads eye.
  12. Welcome to the city.

  13. Online is a great option if you are very self disciplined. However there are better online programs. I suggest you contact Jane at www.percomonline.com as she is really a pioneer of online EMS education. Another option is www.techproservices.net .
  14. Little late helping the OP she done told us she passed.
  15. Welcome. Ignore everyone but me and you should learn a lot.
  16. Funny he still has been posting on our Texas site. Which one of you made him mad?
  17. LOL. I have gotten dinged on qa/qi because I walked a patient or did not back board. I even documented patient refused certain care but they dinged me. I responded what I should force unwanted care on patient? or refuse all care?
  18. EMS is always exciting. Blood guts, lights, sirens, non stop adrenaline. Oh I'm sorry that was the TV version. Glad you have the proper attitude. Let us know if we can point you in the right direction.
  19. You are in a hot humid area. Often you do not feel thirsty because of it. Drink water avoid sports drinks, sodas, beer, etc.
  20. Way to go. Be safe with all the traveling for the big move.
  21. Guess he only has time to post on the other site, he posted there yesterday. You guys really must have mad him mad.
  22. Yes absolutely you should charge. There are expenses even to volunteer agencies. In fact the person should be paying the lost wages and other expenses of each volunteer. They took off work to save you least you can do is repay them. Plus by billing the SAR can invest in more and better equipment for future rescues. Way to often we here of SAR not having what they need to do the job right so bill the people then buy what you need. It should not be up to each person to buy what they need or for tax payers to support it.
  23. You replied to a 3 year old post. They have either already succeeded or quit trying.
