Are any courses available during January and/or similar ones that may be less than a week as opposed to five weeks.

 I"m currently in EMT night classes in the Bronx.

 Its frustrating at times, because we waste so much time just reading slides that I could have read in our textbook. 

The written test is a joke. The issue is to take the written test (separate from "Practicals" - Hands on testing) you need to have attended a course (also referred to as a course sponsor). I pay around $1200-not including $350 in tolls to attend the course. I was aware that, there are local courses in the $700 range (but they didn't work with my schedule).

Anyhow, it seems from what I've heard from friend's, that Hatzalah offers more accommodating courses where you aren't forced to show up to do nothing.

Anyhow, EMT's in the State of NY seem to be able to do very little (Medically Speaking)... If anyone here is an EMT, if you work in NY State, you can't 'pierce' skin (except with the EpiPen--which is prefilled).

In an unrelated one hour free course offered by Nassau County I got certified in the uses of Narcan (an Anti-Opiate drug), got the free drug (worth $80 a dose) and a card legally allowing me to administer it IN (intranasal) and IM (intramuscular). Essentially in that one hour I became more "qualified' so to speak than every EMT in NY that legally can't touch a syringe.

To the point, It seems in Israel with Basic First Responder training some people can even administer a Saline Iv. I know there is zero reciprocity between NY and Israel (or any state/country) But, I would be interested in learning those skills even without being legally able to practice them in NY.

Now the question :) -Is there any source in the Tri-State area or Israel, that is less than a week and teaches IV therapy and other neat medical procedures not taught to EMT-B's?
Narcan is in nys protocol but not in remsco protocol yet. Also, within NYC ends don't need to push drugs or Peirce skin as either a medic is closed either a hospital is close. That's why upstate has 2 intermediate Emt levels.

Anyone know of an EMT course near monsey?

The 3 ones I know about are,


1. Rockland fire training center (cant signup becuase i already know im going to miss 4 days, only 3 are allowed)

2. RCC  - 11-3 2x a week for a few months , cant do those times, kills the whole day

3. New square - would have been perfect, but the course started more than a month ago :'( :'(





Anyone know of any others?

Is there such a thing as an emt course which gives you the ability to practice both in NY and NJ?

There are different protocols so you probably need both courses definitely both tests

There is reciprocity. I know NY excepts reciprocity from NJ 1 time, (3 yr limit) after that you have to take their CEU'S and test to KEEP your NY license.

Correct. It is you're responsibility to find out conflicting protocols ( there are a few) before riding with any organization.

Every organization has their own set of different protocol as well.

I don't believe they were ever successful in putting one together.  They all end up joining the MONOC course.

Let her reach out to Ezras Nashim in BP, I know they were trying to open in lkwd.

Keep in mind that NYS will not reciprocate for a NJ Hybrid (online) course.
