    EMS Dispatcher, Minneapolis, MN

    Makes sense about picking up shifts PRN on trucks. I'm a dispatcher but didn't have to take any agility test. I am, however, in Advanced EMT school, so once I take the boards, I'll have to take the agility test as I'll need to work to keep my hours up to keep my EMT.

    rules against tattoos?
