I heard that you had to be working there for at least a year or so fulltime to go as a part time EMT.

we had to do that too...

The questions are 120 questions I think. 80 of it are national based registry questions and the rest are like personality questions. They will grade it on the spot and you only can miss like 25 questions I think. I really don't remember! Haha, anyways, the questions are actually easier than the...

When I came in to turn in my application I turned in my County card, medical card, and ambulance cert. Also before coming into the interview you're going to need your H6 otherwise they won't interview you. I'm sure you can call them or talk to Angela if you can email her your application and...

Rural/Metro actually just hired me...orientation is next month! Which company did you just have an interview with?

Are you down here in SoCal? Cuz if you have the time you can just drive down there. Might be like an hour or so if your coming from Julian!

I don't know how to deactivate that but if you find out how...tell me too. lol Anyways, the only advice I can give you is to not over analyze the questions. My teacher and TA's always said that it would be different out in the real world than what you are doing in the classroom since everything...

Just remember your ABCs and don't forget to read the questions slowly! The test is very different than the ones that you get in the classroom and it's sometimes confusing or it does not have much info....it was seriously a weird test. lol Just take your time and you'll be fine. For me, I just...

I'm not sure if this is correct or when you say two thumbs you mean the two thumbs encircling hands technique. Anyways, from what I remember you use the two fingers when your alone and do 30:2 compression-ventillation. When there are two rescuers you use the two thumbs technique and do 15:2...
