Hey does anyone know a good website to get an EMS/EMT shield from? Yes, I'm new, and yes, I really just want it for bragging rights because I think it's cool. =) Ideally I'd like a customizable one so I can put my EMT # on it. A New York State one would be cool, too. Thanks for your advice!

I got a couple of F's and a D during my fresh/soph years, but retook them later and got A/B's. On the official final transcript my school gives me, the F's/D are totally removed, there's no sign that I ever took those classes during fresh/soph years and accordingly they are not calculated in my...

Before I start shadowing some doctors this summer, does anyone know if I need to keep some sort of documentation of this sort of thing; and if so, how detailed (number of hours, etc.)? For me, I want to shadow doc's for the heck of it and b/c I want to learn something; but at the same time I...

I'm starting pre-med in the fall, almost finished w/ NYS EMT-B course. Considering ER tech vs. ambluance jobs. During my ER rotation, I asked the triage nurse about ER techs, and he seemed to answer that they don't really have any and wasn't sure what they even did. So, to anyone that knows...

I have a similiar question: I'm currently working for New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project, a non-profit that serves rescue workers from 9/11 who still have a lot of dehabilitating side effects by putting them through a 30-60 day regimen of exersize, sauna (sweating the bad stuff...
