I was EMS back when it was an 81 hour course!
Careful Becky -- You are showing your age (I too am an 81 hour course medic). LOL

I have probably been a Paramendic for at least as long as anyone else here, ( I just had my 30th yr. anniversary, OMG!), but I don't remember any 80 hr. or so Paramedic course. (Pls correct me if I am wrong!). They said "EMS", perhaps talking about an EMT or Advaced First Aid Course? . When I started in EMS, the only requrement to staff an ambulance was that at least one of the people had to be an EMT. (And THAT was an improvement, prior to that, it was just Advanced First Aid). Does anyone else have some "back in the day .." stories?

BTW Best of luck to everyone in reaching their goals!

Hello all. Just found this web site.. I am about to start the Bridge Road to RN.. Im a very old dog.. I have been on the street since 1973. I have done the VOL., Private,( Paid Fire/Ems), Medevac Medic, Speciality Tech Teams.[ Underwater and Shift Water, Confined space,Trench,and Rope/Vertical ], Gig. and Now I am working in a small clinic in Alaska. Working as a RN but not getting paid as a RN. My skill sets require taking x-rays, drawing then running all Labs, running the after hours Pharmacy,Triage and all Patient care skills needed in a ER. I am in charge of all airway skills including running the vent ,setting up and giving all the drugs. As well as ordering all the medical supplies for the clinic and keeping them working..and get this.. I applied to be a VOL. at the local FIRE/EMS DEPT. and they turned me down.. go fig.. ?? I Retired in 2005 but decided I needed to keep my mind busy and I really always wanted to get this RN done. I am working in the RN role so I might as well get paid for it. Alaska allows Paramedic to do more than any other place I have ever worked. My standing orders look like a P.A's . I can do chest tubes and surgical airways. But I make 10 dollars a hour less than a RN.. With all these skill sets I want to get paid my worth. and I want to have more options .. Im so looking forward to getting started.. and Yes you can teach old dogs new tricks.. or at least that is my hope.. any tips to pass along would be Nice.
