Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 thanks, so if you have an LP, and a degree, and some house of people vote this into effect, then prioritizing applicants will change, right? ________________________________________ JONATHON WALKER EMT-P THIS EMAIL DOES NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS OF GOLDSTAR EMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Some house of people would be the Texas Legislature. Would those of you tracking this bill report back on the status? Exempting them from the core courses would be an interesting twist.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hey Mike, You will notice it only applies to LP's that all ready have a degree.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Why are we always trying to make it easy for people to get out of EMS and move on to " bigger and better " things? Don't get me wrong, I am all for career advancement and personal growth! But some people, not naming any names, are always tyring to look at ways to make it easy for people to get out of EMS. If you want to go to nursing school or medical school go for it! I think that is great. But why not try channeling your efforts to better the EMS profession instead of trying to get people out of EMS? Why not look at ways to improve pay and benefits? Instead we look at ways to get into nursing or whatever, or we look at ways to get a Paramedic certification in 4 or 5 months? This is the problem in EMS. We want the easy way out and that is why lots of EMS people are underpaid and overworked. And that is why we are not looked at as a profession! Let's look at ways to keep good quality EMT's and Paramedic's and not lose them to other professions!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I think it's a great idea, but what about other " degreed " people? Wouldn't they also have most of the same core classes completed? Imagine a certified radiology tech, physical therapist, respiratory tech and such wanting to go into nursing. Shouldn't they receive the same step up as licenced paramedics? I am sure that their field and degree plans also included some of the same core classes. Just a thought.
