You take them off of the board. It's actually quite simple.

As long as you wear your safety vest, you'll be protected from all dangers.

I got hired by a hospital and I'm only 18 and straight out of high school with my EMT. You should be fine.

Are barrier pants like bunker gear?

I don't wear any of the crap I have to wear at work unless if I have to or it is the warmest option. I think the whole tactical look looks stupid, and I hate looking like I'm searching for attention. Plus, I like my regular clothes better. Only exception is t-shirts, mainly because it's easier...

I was still in school when I got my NREMT. I think you'll be fine.

Well, what was in your PCR?
