She*, but yes, Santa Clara County. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info! My understanding is that I do need it prior to the first day, but I'll have to ask. Thanks again for the reply!

Before I start my job I have to take the "Hazmat FRO" course. I see this is $80! Do employers help pay for this, or is this something else that has to come out of pocket? What about the background check and drug tests? Thanks for any info!

I just wanted to double check on here that this is all I need to receive an ambulance drivers license in California: Medical Examiners Paperwork filled out Live Scan fingerprints done, with the paperwork filled out Pass the written test Pay the fee Thanks!

I'm interested in finding a job in a hospital using my EMT certification. Is the main job title I'm looking for "ER tech"? Or are there other ones? And does anyone have any specific experience with ER tech/general EMT jobs at hospitals in the bay area, specifically Santa Clara County? Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies!

I've been filling out some job applications, and I've seen several ask what my salary expectation is. I'm just graduating college and this will be my first EMT-B job in California Bay Area. I've seen the mean salary is around $16 for EMT-B, does this seem accurate? I really have no idea what to...

Basically, will I be able to get a job with just a...

I'm basically looking for a summer job so I'm not confident an ambulance company would hire me for just that, but also, I have more interest in working in a hospital setting. As for the ER tech position... I'm quite new to all of this, so would I basically just go on a hospital website, and...

Would I have to get additional certifications for these? I really don't have time to do that

I'm an undergraduate university student and I got my EMT certification last summer. This coming summer I want to get a job in a hospital utilizing my EMT certification. I'm having trouble finding what jobs I could possibly apply for at places like Stanford Hospital, Kaiser, etc. What should I...

California-bay area. I'd appreciate just general ideas too though, thanks!
