Support Indiana House Bill 1153

I'm sure many a folk are sick of this one. House Bill 1153 would change paramedics from being certified to licensed. I feel that this would be a huge step for us not only in Indiana but as a profession. I am uncertain when this matter will go for a vote this year but please find out who your house representative is and write them to support this bill.

Those representatives who are from the central part of the state whose areas were impacted by the flood I feel would be more than happy to support this bill, so remind them of our dedication and sacrifice many of us had to make during that time. There is a link to the Indiana General Assembly below.

More higher education opportunities

Ok so I found some more options of getting a BS, MS, and even a PhD. The link is through FEMA and the areas of concentration are either Homeland Security or Emergency Management. A good portion of these are online and accredited. The link is:

Hope this helps out. I can forsee these areas being a "critical needs" in the future and there will be opportunities in government, civlian, and education settings.
