They just asked for my dmv print out today, so now they know.

I begin my training with Lynch Ambulance in Anaheim tomorrow morning. I've passed all the interviews and now I will be attending 5 days of classroom orientation + in the field training.. I assume the company has already done a background check on me, but I was wondering if my lack of...

Hi everyone, I've looked through other threads but I am wanting to gather more responses because I'm sure answers will vary somewhat. I may begin working for an ambulance company soon, and upon being hired, I am aware EMTs have to pass a physical agility test to be eligible to work...

Hi, I am going in to an interview with AmeriCare ambulance next week, and aside from the studying and preparing myself for the interview, I've been researching this company as well. I have read bad things about this company from past posts and I am wondering if anyone could elaborate on...

Hi, I am an eighteen year old who recently got nationally certified/state certified to work as an EMT in the state of California. I have no prior experience in EMS and have not had a legitimate job before, but I volunteered in the Emergency Room for two years as a patient care provider...

Thank you! Hopefully I can get all this paperwork done soon.. plus another livescan before the ambulance driver test! Hah

Okay, I will try an urgent care facility probably. Do I just hand the doctor the huge stack of papers and they'll know what to do with it? Every doctor office I've called has had no idea what I was talking about

Hi, I am in the process of trying to get my medical examiner's card so I can apply for the ambulance driver certificate DMV test. Where do I get the papers signed for the medical examination? My primary doctor's office does not accept anything to do with DMV or work.. where can I go? I...

I am a newbie to the EMS community, and I'm sorry if this question has been asked before! Can someone help me complete the list of private ambulance companies that respond in the SoCal area? (Primarily Orange County). I'm making a list of companies as potential employers so I may begin...

I'm located in Orange County California, and am interested in trying my hands in paramedic school. Any recommendations? I'm willing to commute to Los Angeles or San Diego if I have to. I'm hoping to find somewhere with dedicated instructors and hands on training (as any student would) ^_^ Thank...

I'm taking the NREMT-B exam in November (that's when I finally turn 18) I've heard of power/refresher courses for people that need that little extra review. I just graduated from my EMT class a month ago, and I want to retain the information. Are there any short-term classes I can take in...

Yeah.. haha I made that exact same mistake when I was on one of my ride-alongs. I was going through the pt. assessment very well for being a student and then I accidently let, "What was your last oral intake?" slip. I quickly corrected myself though. Luckily the patient didn't really notice...

Hah! That reminds me of one of the ride-alongs I did a couple months back. I managed to hit my head pretty violently when attempting to exit the rear of the ambulance. The patient and fireman that were in the back with me just stopped talking and looked at me like what the hell.. If hitting...

I'm so glad to see this thread on this website! I'm definitely not near to where a lot of the other repliers are; I just graduated high school and completed my EMT-Basic program. I'm taking the national registry in November after my 18th birthday, and at the same time, I will be taking...

Hi! I'm looking for a study resource that has worked for anyone that passed the NREMT-B exam. I just passed my EMT class a month ago, and I have to wait until I turn 18 in November to take the National Registry. All my friends get to take it right now and I have to wait, which is making...
