Thanks... Wouldn't really call myself 'new' though.

Hey guys, I got an new (dream gig) job starting soon. So I want you get a new pair of boots. I originally had a pair of converse and they didn't breath, and the zipper wasn't at the right angle to be practical. My current pair are the Magnum Stealth Force. The zipper on these work great. But the leather wears way too easy on the toe. What do y'all have experience with? Thanks, Kevin

So, I am attending the A/TCEMS interview process upcoming in January. I have been reviewing some of the topics 'less than fresh' in my mind, and have been practicing a 12-Lead book by Bob Page. I am wondering if any of y'all have any tips for me? I am also attending the process for Williamson County EMS in February. Thanks in advance for any help!! Kevin

Howdy, I am currently working as an EMT/Fire Fighter in Wisconsin. I am currently an EMT-Intermediate Technician which is a Wisconsin State level between Intermediate and Basic. On Nov 5th I will be taking my NREMT-P practical. I am hopefully moving back to Central Texas upon completion of my medic. I have posted a couple topics, but never formally said hi. So Hi, Kevin

Thanks guys. I am mostly doing the fire side with the department I am on as a side. I am primerally focused on EMS. What additional certs should I get passed the paramedic school ones (ACLS, BTLS, PALS)? How do I go about getting ride time?

Hello, I have a strong desire to work for the Ausin / Travis County EMS service. Eventually on the Special Ops and rescue side. I am currently working for a relatively busy paid-on-call fire department as a firefighter/EMT-B. And for a private ambulance company that has the contract for part of the fire area. I am taking an IV-Tech class (state's version of basic adding IV, D50, Narcan, and non-assisted nitro). And I start paramedic in January. My question is how can I start now to sweeten my pot so to say. Make me more qualified for a position with them? Thanks for any info you may have, Kevin The private company is in the big metro area next to my town. With them I average 18-20 calls in a 24 hour shift.
