At least every six months they change their hiring process. When I did it, it was a 50 question test and a simple interview.

How is the field training at PT+? All new people should have IFT experience, so is it just learning a new system?

Do you know going into it if you'll be staffing a BLS rig or the MHT unit? I imagine if you're doing MHT they will mention it in the interview.

Sorry to bring back a dead thread, ladies and gents. I got a call this afternoon with the recruiter explaining how the process would go (possibly spoiling the skill, too) and said to bring workout clothes. Hopefully all of you who posted before got hired and are enjoying it.

I had a first-on-scene where a nursing home patient fell out of a wheelchair. When a nurse asked how he fell, the medic simply replied, "I think it was by gravity."

Hello all! Some of my coworkers were discussing what questions are appropriate to ask to determine if a pt is alert and oriented. Everyone has their preference and try steering away from certain questions, such as "who's the president?" Does anyone have any specific questions they ask? Thanks!

Hello. Hope I'm not getting to you too late. When I went through, I was interviewed by a manager and a supervisor. The questions are actually mostly customer service based, with a few medical questions. There's also the typical " why do you want to be an EMT, why do you want to work for us."...

Apologies in advance if I've missed any details, but does anyone have any word on Falck Contra Costa? I put in my app earlier this week and I imagine it'll be awhile before I hear back.

The company I just got hired with doesn't do in-person applications or phone calls, but it's still a good idea to go to the main station and ask for one. Bring a copy of your resumé and look semi-professional just in case you run into a supervisor.

So it finally happened..my stethoscope that I've been using since EMT school grew legs and vanished. It even had my name and number on it. Oh well. Does anybody have any recommendations for a new scope? Also what's a good way to go about cleaning said scope? Thanks.

Your tip worked. Thank you so much.

After submitting no less than ten applications, I finally have interviews with Falcon Ambulance and ProTransport next week. Has anyone ever interviewed with these companies before? Anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance!
