I wonder why the Saudies only want US paramedics...
Also In The Netherlands we got the ''first ambulance approach'' as triage and initial oordination method at all incidents where EMS is involved, the EMS duty officer will follow soon and take command, the crew of the first ambulance can assist the E…

Good morning
My name is Michael McGivern and I am a registered nurse & ambulance officer working in the very far north of New Zealand. I have a special interest in clinical education particularly in relation to pre hospital emergency care. I was very interested to see that you are employed as a nurse/paramedic. Would you be able to tell me more about your position and what your clinical procedures allow you and your colleagues to do. Would you have a spare patch from your service if I was to send you one of ours?
Please let me have your address.
Kindest regards
Michael

Kiwi EMT said… - Hello Joffry,
I have just been looking at your photos - nice selection. I would like to add photos from some of our work, but we aren't supposed to. How are things in the Hague? Our ambulance manager left us about 1 year ago and moved from New Zealand to the Hague to work and live. I am collecting EMS patches to display at our ambulance station. If you are interested in trading with me, please let me know.
Regards,
Lyndon.

Sorry for the horrible Dutch. It comes back to me pretty quickly when I am in Belgium and Holland but I am definitely rusty. I studied in Leuven for three years but I am originally from Upstate NY (near Cooperstown NY - home of the Baseball Hall of Fame if you are into baseball).

- We've been quite slow this week, no surprise. Same at the fire dept, only running about 5 calls a day the past week.
I've got some pictures of your ambulances I took a few years again while at the beach in Schvenigen ( probably wrong spelling) I'll have to find and post for you.
thanks for the reply--
steve

Whic prerequisites are waved? There's a difference between not having to take Intro to Computers and Applications and not taking the Anatomy and Physiology sequence.
Do you feel that the lack of prerequisite courses to be a contributor to the high…
We do, and the results are mixed. We hire candiates and send them to the paramedic program to a community college where I teach part time. They do not have to have BLS experience first. They attend the core paramedic classes with students who go on…
Depends on what brand of "better" you're looking for. Sending people to school seems to make them more ingrained into your system, but I think each medic owning his/her own education invests people in the profession a bit more (which, of course, is…
Just the web component. Lost a lot of stuff I typed that way. :) Having a real program with later uploading would probably have helped.
