Is a Criminal Background Insurmountable?
By David S. Becker, MA, EMT-P
http://www.jems.com/jems/exclus05/e0301a.html
Suppose a job applicant discloses that they have a criminal record. Do you immediately eliminate them as a candidate for an open position within your agency, or is there an alternative? And what if you’re the applicant with the criminal record? Contributor David S. Becker discusses options for dealing with complicated background checks. For details, click here.

Texas Ambulance Hijacked
http://www.jems.com/jems/exclus05/e0301b.html
A Galveston, Texas, ambulance was hijacked on Feb. 8, while the crew was transporting a woman suffering chest pains. The hijacker, who had flagged down the vehicle and claimed that someone was trying to shoot him, only traveled a few blocks before being stopped by local law enforcement. The man is being held in jail under $300,000 in bonds and faces up to more than 200 years in prison and $30,000 in fines. For details, click here.

Did you know JEMS sponsors two award programs?

The JEMS EMS Research Grant awards $1500 to an individual or agency for the completion of a research project that studies the impact on care that results from having two paramedics on each ALS call vs. the use of only one paramedic. For more project specifications and submission deadlines, please click here.
The JEMS/Elsevier Nursing Scholarship provides one scholarship to prehospital personnel (EMT or EMT-Paramedic) who want to pursue a nursing degree.
