Hi, First time moving out of state here: I recently relocated to northern Alabama and I am pretty close to the Tennessee border. In order to widen employment in the EMS field I had this thought of also applying across state lines since its literally at times just an hour away. Can an...

Hi and Welcome Ashley, glad to have you here. Like you my job history has so many different faces every time surrounding the needs of a customer or a client. But then few years back I felt like the true calling did set in and I decided to take helping someone in need to a whole different level...

don't read too much into it Hi there, literally..don't read too much into it ... the questions asked on the NREMT give you all the things you need to know and nothing between the lines for you to figure out first. Read the description of the signs and symptoms, vital signs and try to...

Hi all, I'm a California licensed (and NREMT of course) EMT-B with current CPR, work experienced in the EMS field and first responder team guy who's about to embark on a vacation to northern Alabama - Jackson County - and meet up with friends made online. While I am there I would like to...

Greencard stamped - enough proof that you passed DMV? ....so today, 4 months after I passed the written DMV exam I had to go to the office for another H6 blue on white copy, at the same time I thought I inquire about my ambulance driver certificate as the commercial unit in Sacramento told me...

I hear you ... I called for status updates, checked those from online application profiles and all I hear is "its under review" ...since beginning April :/ - at least 2 got back to me - one with a standard response of "we had to unfortunately extend our offer to another candidate blah blah" and...

adds a new "responsiblity" to the star of life response network ey? Seriously, the American Red Cross promotes it heavily, too - there's what they call the annual "save-a-life Saturday" or disaster prepardness, other public events where they educate interested public and explain the very same...

can you share your experience after? ... haven't given up hope yet that I do get that kind of call from them :unsure:

Thanks for your thoughts and experiences! Appreciate you sharing them!! I have a bunch of applications already running (get the good old "we are processing applications right now" when I do a status inquiry). Got rejected three times so far incl. one after having an interview, too many...

Update: Reached commercial division at DMV Update: I decided to try to reach the commercial division of the DMV eventhough the regular DMV hotline warned me that I may only get a busy signal or no answer at all. To my surprise I reached a technician there who was very helpful by pointing out...

Come to think of it. I just posted a thread in the EMS Talk section but maybe it's more approproiate to ask here? Sorry admin if I "advertise" my thread here, but I am willing to post it here if you prefer only one section of forum per question and/or its more approriate here? My posting...

So I applied with companies that ask me for a DMV H6 record - nothing new. I did as many wanted and did an online DMV request and attached the record from there to my application package. But I also needed one other than the online version 2 weeks ago. Fair enough, to the DMV office I went...

My ridealong was delayed too because the sign-out of rigs double booked a bus and so we had to go back to the counter and get a different assignment.... Good to hear you had a great crew sharing their work with you, explaining etc. - that's what it should be anyway, part of training. Hope...

Am not sure about the name of the app...but yeah, it's an "Amateur" and not "medical grade" app that supposedly detects the intensity and is super sensitive to the heartbeat.....you're right though, didn't think about it that the OP ment the "real thing"

Honestly I don't really think those are reliable since you don't have some real connection like you have with the leads but rather a sensor in your phone just noticing a motion of the chest?? A friend of mine for some giggles downloaded one for her iPhone, can ask her but you'll notice that...

Hey Anthony, I have to admit I had to google the school you are attending...myself I attended a semester at Chabot College in Hayward to get my training and certificate of completion in order to be admitted to the NREMT and obtain the state license. The entire class did get to do the...

Thanks Tigger!! Hi Tigger, not sure if you follow this thread but I had an interview last Friday and thought of your response towards my question "I usually answer that question with something like, "I am very task-oriented and like to see projects through to the end. Sometimes I may...

What school are you attending? ... I did my ride-along with P+ last December as part of my EMT schooling. I had two great mentors that took me along when we covered southern Alameda county. Even though ambulances primarily use the "lifepack" for BP, pulse etc. my EMT and paramedic...

Welcome from me as well....and I am happy to see that recent events inspired you to look into a career in the EMS field. Myself still a newbie when it comes to be a pro EMS (I'm experienced as a first aid caregiver in event medical tents though) but I'd like to support your desire yet give...

While waiting to be hopefully called for an interview I've been thinking about the one or the other question that seems to be fairly common in interview situations. While we all know our strengths by heart and are proud of ourselves, how about our weaknesses? Sure, everybody got them, but I...
