I'm in a paramedic transition course and it starts in a month. Last night I came across the entire course summary on blackboard, including all homework assignments and worksheets. I'm gonna print them out and do everything before class starts so that I could just get it out of the way :)

Just keep applying. I didn't get my first EMS job until 5 months after I was done with school. Look for Private ambulance companies first.... or if you wanna go the emt/ff route, go to firehouses and ask how to get in and go through academy. Good luck.

Hi all, I'm Lena. 23yr old EMT-B from the Chicago suburbs. I got certified in NY and completed reciprocity and I'm clear to work in Illinois. I just got hired by a private so I'm excited to get started on my EMS career... :)

Hi all, I'm a new EMT just wanting to know what are the best (and most comfortable) shoes to work in based on your experiences? I don't mind spending a few extra dollars if it means they'll be comfortable, long lasting and reliable. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks :)
