Hello! My name is Sam, and I’m currently a full-time Flight Paramedic. I’ve worked in EMS for almost two decades, in multiple fields, which I believe gives me a unique perspective. Throughout my career, I’ve obtained my NREMT Paramedic, Bachelor of Science in EMS, FP-C, and many other certificates and degrees. I strongly believe that sharing our stories can be a healing experience than can educate, enlighten, and humble us. If you’re interested in hearing tales from highly qualified EMS professionals, we think you’ll find that our podcast, Nine One One Nonsense, is for you.

    “You’re Battling With Self Accountability, And Its Beautiful.”

    On this episode of NOON, I sit down with Charlie Swearingen, a critical care paramedic, flight clinician, and educator who refuses to let comfort turn into complacency.

This episode dives deep into education, culture, accountability, and what it really means to stay sharp in prehospital medicine.

    “He Said It’s Not Loaded And Pointed It At His Head.”

    This week on NOON, Sam sits down with Ryan Chavez, an EMT turned Nurse Practitioner who now works as a solo emergency provider. Ryan talks about expanded scope, making critical decisions alone, performing high acuity procedures, and what it’s really like being the only provider in the room when things go sideways. We get into career progression, responsibility, dark humor, and the moments that stay with you long after the shift ends. Today’s Sponsor is: JumpMedic Are you looking for top-notch first aid kits?
