I believe its 30 bucks to take the test in cali...and I think you also need your medical examiner's physical as well before you can take it along with the other stuff already mentioned.
its cause we're expendable and a high demand job. If we don't like it, there are 300 others who will.
and if you think thats crazy...when I worked at SeaWorld San Diego 10 years ago, the starting pay for animal trainers was minimum wage. One of my friends at the time who was a Killer Whale...
Dont get frustrated man. I've been in your boat since October when I passed my NREMT...its just about persistence at this point. Just apply everywhere you can think of that your EMT skills might be needed, and dont just restrict yourself to paid jobs, apply with volunteer stuff too...check with...
This one isn't mine, I heard it from an instructor back in EMT school.
He works for the city at a FD station, and they just got a new Probie FF/Paramedic and they get the first Medical Aid call of the shift. The Fire truck gets there first and the Probie goes up to the door, my teacher and...
from what Sara22emt said about no books, I think they mean like normal type books like Harry Potter, or Steven King...those types. I've never seen a company that would discipline you for studying up in a school book or even a more updated version for a refresher class or CE type class.
I think it would be better just to contract to a private BLS company or get the local FD involved rather than get CERT involved. While CERT looks good on paper, they really arent designed to do anything more than help triage an MCI in my opinion. They pretty much arent anything more than a...
if you're licensed in Colorado, then list Colorado. doesnt matter where you took your NR test, just matters where your state license is as thats where you're legally allowed to work. and as far as listing your NR certification, I usually leave the state blank as most companies know that NR isnt...
definitely. take the initiative and show you're still interested. they could be testing you in that regard. before I left my last company, we would do that to applicants just to see if the motivation to be employed with us was there cause we had a huge turn over rate as it was (dumb kids in the...
here's a link for you: http://www.firecareerassist.com/html/georgia_schools.htm - not sure how credible the schools are, but its a start for some. it covers all of Georgia so you'll have to look for the ones in or near Augusta that you'd recognize and then go from there. Another way is you...
Has anyone heard of this site or used them? A buddy of mine recommended them to me and I'm just not sure of how legit they claim to be. Thanks

which skills do they usually test on? I'm still looking for that info for washington as I was certified in Cali Nationally so I had to test on 10 skills...I'm just curious which ones I need to refresh myself on. I know them, but its been a couple months since I've gone through them so I know I...
researching your local protocols wouldnt be a bad thing either, and get to know your base hospital locations and that kind of general stuff as well. each company is different and I've interviewed with several so far (with no luck yet) and I've been asked all kinds of things up and down the...
