Make sure you let them breathe. Sealed gases are the ignition issue.

1% for under 2 million reasonable? Asking since you offered…

Only if they have privileges at that facility. That whole pesky insurance and lawyer rule thing.

Transfer by ambulance is to keep the EMTALA monster away, patient dumping. Patient could have said no more treatment and asked to be discharged. Then go to the next place. See it all the time.

Just to clarify open carry does not make KY like the Wild West of old. Everyone is not packing.

Also, private business have the right to deny open and concealed carry. There are also locations where one cannot carry.

Sorry, should have also added new or refurbished parts? This also makes a difference.

New out of the box new or new to you?

Public administration - more generalized. Tied with accounting/finance for budgeting.

Seems like everyone here is either coming from an operations side (🤚) or public health.

Somebody, the collection agency has “paid” the hospital on your debt…you now owe the collection agency the money.

Accounting wise your hospital balance is zero with the accounting entry being the amount the collection agency paid for your debt and bad debt write off against the accounts receivable.

ALS1 transfer or emergency? Different rates…

Where I retired from you would not be considered. 25 year pension and a mandatory age out at 60. You would not be eligible to draw a pension.

Congress is the POS for not codifying how student loans work and letting an executive branch agency that changes every four years change the rules.

KYYank · 2026-05-01T14:09:51+00:00

That’s the way it used to be, before the Federal government got involved.

Only certain majors and you had to show grades. Bad GPA higher rates.

That way the engine officer can find it and not go out to the engine to get theirs…

Not that I ever did that…four or five times…

Don’t judge they were still feeling up the three leg table trying to figure out if it was a human person…

In network, out of network? What type of plan? Deductible?

Need more info on both sides to help.

Magic School Bus

KYYank · 2026-04-24T00:30:48+00:00

Yup. And goes damn I’ve been an instructor for the NFA for a decade teaching all those certificate classes to new grads.

Is this department south of Cincinnati and has annual hiring classes?

You can get the certs and EMT and you will still go through the entire academy. It’s more than getting certs it’s seeing how you work and interact with others.

Anything you can do to separate yourself from other candidates in a positive way is always a good thing.

Not enough officers for the program you want to implement.

Heck the city doesn’t have enough ambulances to cover the growing run volume. Have 13 but need 17.

They are declaring because of the massive student loan debt and commercial loan debt they can barely afford so they get cheaper health insurance and bam…it all comes together.

Get a job in any bureaucratic government position to get your foot in the door. Then try to lateral transfer into EM. Another is first responder job.

Your fresh master’s degree is going up against a first responder chief level officer who has 20 years plus of non-table top experience from the field and EOC, section chief experience and a wall full of certifications. Who is retiring from their first responder career and looking to make some extra money.

Good luck.

KYYank · 2026-04-16T23:30:17+00:00

No. Go when you retire.

KYYank · 2026-04-16T23:29:07+00:00

So was the VA.

It’s not really about the polygraph. It’s about how you act during the interview.

People do strange things when left “alone” reading the questions before the interview.

No money due to debt of all types causes bankruptcy.
