  1. So this is just a show for products? Is there any CME training associated with it?
  2. I just took the exam a few months ago. It's hard to give advice on what to study because you can get any batch of random questions. The thing I found difficult with it is pacing yourself. You have a time limit (which I can't remember what it is) but you do not know how many questions you will be given. I got like 80 questions and had over an hour remaining. My advice is to take your time, I rushed. Also don't take it on a Friday, I had to wait the whole weekend for my score, as its posted the next business day.
  3. I've never worked for them, but I understand they do a lot of transports for White Plains and Phelps. They are also a not for profit.
  4. I would also look into Westchester EMS.
  5. I find that pretty shocking. I can see how it ranks so low, with long hours and low salary. But it is not taking into account how rewarding it can be.
  6. So if this passes, local PDs will patrol/respond to all the parkways in Westchester?
  7. Manufacturer?
  8. Very cool, I didn't know an 02 holder was available with the stryker. Any idea how much that costs?
  9. I don't know anything about their stair chair, but I received a demo of their power stretcher and it couldn't hold a candle to a ferno or stryker. Very heavy and poorly built.
  10. It opened in a flash viewer, but wouldn't let me print. This should work for you: Upload the PDF to www.localhostr.com and then you can link to the file using the link they provide. You probably will want to check periodically that the link still works, as it could be removed after a period of time.
  11. Link worked for me.
  12. Should be able to upload it to your webserver and link to the file like any other page/file.
  13. Coming from an EMS agency with PD dispatch, I wish we used 60 control. One huge advantage I would see to this is the ability to adapt a CAD. With a CAD we would have the call location right in front of us and could avoid calls to the PD for a repeat of the address. Also a CAD would display our various times (on scene, enroute, etc) so we wouldn't be guessing on our PCRs. I also think the EMD dispatching is important, giving a caller CPR instructions could be the difference between life or death. I know PD could be adapt EMD dispatching, but I know mine would not be willing to increase their work load.
  14. I can't speak from experience, but my understanding of a refresher is as follows: You take a pretest and then attend classes on the topics which you failed in addition to a group of required classes which everyone attends. Then at the end of the course you take the state exam. The time will depend on how well you do on the pretest.
  15. Does anyone know of an online course to complete the spinal protocol update training? Thanks.
  16. Whats the starting salary for an EMT at Transcare?
  17. I am trying to my certification in both NY and DE. Both states allow recertification through CMEs and have the same requirements. I figure it will be easiest to recert this way vs taking 2 tests. My question is: if I take CME classes in Delaware, are they valid for credit in NY? Am I supposed to collect some sort of proof of completion after each class?
  18. Does anyone know of a selective spinal immobilization class being offered in westchester anytime after December 19th?
  19. I thought it was very good, but was upset with the use of the silent clock at the end. Maybe I am just nuts but I did not think the ending deserved that.
  20. Create an account with a fake name and explore a little. If you find it is not for you, just leave it at that.
  21. So does that mean I would need each of my Delaware CMEs approved by WREMSCO?
  22. As a seller as well, I can see where you are coming from, but this is really for the best. This new system will allow buyers to leave honest feedback without the fear of retaliation. There have been many times that I felt a seller deserved negative feedback but did not leave it because I was afraid of receiving a negative feedback in return. I think this new system will lead to more honest and helpful feedback.
