Just curious about the experience of folks around here. I'm interested, on at least an academic level anyway, about non-traditional emt/medic jobs anyone might have had or been exposed to that include other than municipal service or private ambulance.Not as a bashing thing--just to see what the diversity looks like out there.I, myself, worked in a casino/resort in Las Vegas for 8+ years and never saw the inside of am aid care. I also worked on a wildland fire crew as a team "medic" but mostly I…See More
mike replied to nathan meyer's discussion non-traditional medic jobs"Right now there are so many avenues to go down as an experienced paramedic or EMT looking for non-traditional roles besides the typical oil platform job or the austere paramedic job in the middle east. I have seen an influx of positions in the…"
Amy Jimenez replied to nathan meyer's discussion non-traditional medic jobs"A few more are ski slopes, set medics (movies), and event medics (sports, games, parties ect..). "

nathan meyer replied to Nicole Reino's discussion Marijuana Legalization and Road Safety for Responders"Yeah, we must be posting at cross purposes, or in the same general vein (I think) but from slightly different angles.

nathan meyer replied to nathan meyer's discussion next nremt basic test being given in oregon"Thank you--I will do just exactly that this morning, I appreciate the help.
I was also thinking maybe I could audit the class until I get my test taken then see what could "unfold" from there.
But I'm writing a letter as suggested,…"
nathan meyer replied to Nicole Reino's discussion Will the Legalization of Marijuana in Wash. and Colo. Allow for Better Care?"Unlike opiates or that Breaking Bad stuff I'm not sure THC is really an acute worry. Does it have an effect? Sure. Is it possible you could have AMS or <LOC? Sure. But does it really make much of a difference in someone other than a…"
nathan meyer replied to Nicole Reino's discussion Marijuana Legalization and Road Safety for Responders"Do you mean more than there already are? Failing an intoxication test is failing an acute motor/sensory test and if pot caused it--yank 'em like a drunk. A road side analysis (or whatever it would be) that simply shows a person has THC in their…"

Skip Kirkwood replied to nathan meyer's discussion next nremt basic test being given in oregon"Try writing a letter to the state EMS office, asking for a waiver of the requirement. Of course, if you don't pass the test, that will present other questions."

A primary pre-req being...state license as a basic. Because of the apperent schedule conflict it seems very likely…See More
