akdEM Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'll be adding this to my list of dream jobs... After my residency and getting a few good years of EM under my belt, I'd love to do something like this. How much experience do you think it takes to get a job like that?

How much experience do you think it takes to get a job like that? probably 3-5 doing full scope em, although they would probably take someone right out of an em residency.

Maverick87 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Can you not take leave to go do this? Can't tell if you're being sarcastic. But no way man. I can't take more than 2 weeks at a time (and even that requires A LOT of kissing a**). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted May 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2014 probably 3-5 doing full scope em, although they would probably take someone right out of an em residency. Think maybe a newish grad in the military with years of CC nursing experience and the cert works of Fccs, atls, also, ect (maybe even some .mil courses in trauma and casualty care) and hundreds of intubations/airway experience, dozens of a-lines, about a dozen cvl, 50 spinal taps would suffice? Serious question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't take more than 2 weeks at a time (and even that requires A LOT of kissing a**). I guess I meant the one that was 2 weeks, which is what I was looking at. Sorry I wasn't more specific. So couldn't you take the 2 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. At my particular base, I have to put in for leave 3 months in advance. I already have patients scheduled on those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm....I'm sure they'd give you a break just going back to the 90s or early 2000s, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted May 23, 2014 Author Moderator Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hmmm....I'm sure they'd give you a break just going back to the 90s or early 2000s, no? the form says all licenses to practice any health related endeavor in any state. for me that means emt-basic certs in 3 counties of CA, medic licenses in 2 states, and pa licenses in 3 states + info from 2 er tech jobs, 2 medic jobs, and 7 pa jobs.
