They are hiring but I have read a few bad things but they are from 2014 and I have not heard much neither.

What is a patient who is not alert and oriented refuses care/vital signs? Do I have to take them, especially if they are not restrained?

so vitals are every 15 minutes for stable patients so if i take them do i count 15 minutes after i take all of them or as i am going along for each vital sign like bo, respiratory etc..? How do you count the time?

I worked at a company for 2 days only and on one of those days got my LADOT permit but I quit and got hired at another company. I did not put this job on my job application since it was only 2 days. But, do I need to pay the full fee for another LADOT permit from the company I am now working at...

I just started and they want me to start driving soon, which is fine with me but... I am bad with addresses and freeways and I never really had to drive anywhere far form home. And it is in los angeles so, it is big. My question is how did you do it when you first started? By the way, we can't...

So I passed the NREMT and what helped me a lot was downloading the National Emt Curriculum. It is straight to the point but detailed enough to study from and easy to read since it is in bullet point format. But study form other sources as well but this beats any study guide out there in my...

thanks guys!

So I have all the requirements to work, however I am confused if I need a license or certificate from the state of CA? So I have right now: -Course completion Certificate -Ambulance Driver's Cert. - NREMT License I have googled it but I can't seem to find anything else I need. Is the above it...

I studied from my orange textbook, emtprep.com and the DOT EMT Curriculum which is free online. Just google it and download it. It is awesome, it helped me a lot and make sure you have a good grip on everything like splinting fractures etc. because I failed the 1st time because I thought I knew...

When I did my Ride alongs everyone was nice to me but that isn't the case for everyone. Just do your best and what you are told, how you are told, ask for help if you need it and remember you are just a student. If you mess up it's only natural, just learn from it and as for people yelling at...

So I took the examination and the nurses took my vision test with and without glasses and Doctor said I was bad with both, but they did do the test pretty far away like 10 feet and he also said I have had the glasses for too long(2 years) so he told to me to go get new glasses. I see fine. I...

So I just took an EMT training course and passed it, now I am waiting to pass the NREMT. However, I wanted to know if I have to recertify in my state after a set amount of years of having been certified, like take the NREMT again or take a refresher course but most importantly, I wanted to know...

Also on the sections where I failed, it barely gave me a chance, it did not give me much questions in those categories where I failed but it did give me more from the categories I passed on. That's complete BS.

So I took the NREMT for EMT basic yesterday and failed. I knew once I hit 120 questions and I was right. I failed Medical,Ob-gyn, Trauma and Operations. Any sites/books I should read? I remember someone saying on here that they read the DOT guide or something to pass it, do you know what it's...

As an EMT you probably wouldn't need a high quality one. You should get something cheaper like the person above me mentioned, no more than 50 dollars. There is really no point in buying something expensive for something so simple.

I didnt know anyone else here who was a biller. Nice :) I have a degree in it and a little experience and didnt like it so I chose to become an emt. I don't know much about it now since I have forgotten most of it now. lol.

If I work as an EMT,and I encounter interesting things when treating a patient or just have a crazy encounter with one, in general, an interesting story to tell, am I able to talk about what happened and what my patient had etc. without giving any personal information about them without...

Thank you to both of you :) Now it is very clear, I kinda had an idea but was not sure.

So I did my medical skills test yesterday and passed, however when I started the teacher told me the patient was "a something times 3". I am not sure what he said, I have heard it before and I know that it is for determining mental status and when he explained that to me I still didn't get it...
