    NYS does not issue them. You need to buy it yourself at a buff store.

    So I have a bad driving record...

    because they can...and do When you apply for a public safety job you sign a waiver granting them access to anything ever recorded about you. Go ahead and hire a lawyer at $500/hr to fight it.

    So I have a bad driving record...

    Reality check. The way to get into any Health Care or Public Safety positin would be to go back in time and undo what you did. If this was 1980, then wait a few years, join the military but it is not. 1) even a volly would not take you 2) domestic battery and public drinking are not...

    Is the baove document the most current? I had heard that AHA changed their system from abc to cab? I realize that is not what the OP is about but I looked around the website and saw nothing newer than 2010. Does anyone know?

    Touching toes or no job?

    For the past 15 years law enforcement has been using the Cooper Institute Standards for phyiscal fitness as a way testing candidates. If you look it up, you will see they have a chart of standards based on gender and age. Some agencies have entrance and exit requirements for the training...

    And they can leave their phones at the base so they are not texting the whole time and (cough cough) keep the stretcher from 'just' dumping the poor patient.

    I panicked

    Yes, I do. So they don't get flag down for one. Usually such events require set up, take down and transport of equipment and supplies. If they are going to an event. Yes. Not in general.

    My bad. Even still. The young people should have assembled at the agency's headquaters, arrived and departed as a group in an agency vehicle. This is in no way the OP's fault. I blame the adults.

    Currently in an EMT course

    Keep up with the syllabus at all costs. Do not take a break for any reason. Avoid TV. Watch the included DVD when you need to relax. Avoid people (especially girlfriends) who make unreasonable demands and expectations for your time.

    I panicked

    My service has a youth squad which I am 100% all for. However, they are never posted without an adult within arms length. If your service does not do that, I would strongly urge you to stay close to an adult if at all possible.

    Drug Screening / Testing in EMS

    I would make an educated guess that he just experimented in college. The people I speak of were the every day users for twenty five years. Many my friends but for the last twenty years or so I will only meet them in a public place like a diner. I will never go to their homes nor do I...

    Drug Screening / Testing in EMS

    My service is all volly. Not to say that there are not people with issues, but, we all had to have an MD sign a form that reads we are not under psych care for any mental health issues. Privates in NYC used to hire anyone of the street who seemed "ok." Now they have screening. At some...

    Drug Screening / Testing in EMS

    Maybe in a hospital . But not in the field. Not where health care overlaps public safety. EMS, Fire and Police all have psych screening.

    Drug Screening / Testing in EMS

    No it is not. Everyone I know who drank heavily growing up is still sharp. Everyone I know who did pot is now a space cadet. It is not about being a prude. It is about making a choice. Pot or EMS. End of discussion. Period.
