thanks for the link re: Duty to act, came across this one before and as initially mentioned, I'm aware of regional differences...may main question was regarding jump kits in your POV and people's thoughts and practices on that :) - Markus p.s. the word jump kit just jumped in my mind when...

Some say, once you turn EMS you never turn back and there's no such thing as off duty. Different local, state regulations provide different answers to what an EMT or paramedic is legally obligated to do when on the way to work or heading home or even totally off paid duty. I apologize if I...

OMG - pls keep those abbrev.! I just last December finished my EMT training and I had to remember all those hundreds of pages of short versions of all those complicated words and conditions !!! ..seriously though... I'm sure that abbreviations and acronyms always will be around, as others...

the good ol' background checks.... here in Cali they only want one from the state DOJ. When I went to the DMV for the first time I was asked for bringing the proof aka receipt of that I have given my fingerprints and ordered the background check which is at that point enough to proceed. I...

You can also look into yelp! etc. and look for occupational health practitioners/offices - during my research I came across a place that deals with anything occupational, workers comp etc. and they also offered DMV exams Good luck with everything! - Markus (NorCal)

Agree on the pre-req part / my experience I filled out their online application form and didn't hear from them until about 2 weeks later. Was amazed how urgently they wanted to do an interview when they called me out of the blue on a late Saturday morning. Since I was involved in a...

that's the right approach! ...man I tell you, when I went to school last year for one semester, a day on campus from 8.30 to at least 5.30, quizzes every time the class meets, the constant pressure of having 80% in order to continue, get permission to take the midterm and then the finals sure...

I got my EMT-B license up here in NorCal 2 months ago and it's like others said a California EMT-B license, see no affiliation with the county I applied in. Guess because of the fact that the license is valid state wide there's no "individual" certifications in that matter. As far as the ADC...

yup... I just recently went to the DMV and they asked for it...they also want to have the receipt that you at least initiated the background check (again I know) and ultimately the medical exam form and green card signed/stamped by your medical provider

I have been looking also into ER tech entry level jobs and came across several postings where the EMT license, skills and basic job requirements match. Except...I also see a lot that current CPT-I license is requried. I started googling to find out more but am still a bit lost as in where one...

Clear from patient you stand!

took the test 02/06 in Milpitas, CA - 107 questions - passed

" I truly believe it when you get various answers towards how many questions did you have in the end. wops..what I ment to say is - prior to taking the NREMT written test I heard that people had different amounts of questions, some had 70, some had 120 etc. I ended up having 107, a number...

Congrats on passing the first test! I did my NREMT written exam last week and I have to say the questions where all over the place covered basically any topic that I recall from school. If I recall it right, many questions for me were about respiratory diseases and oxygenation. If you have a...

Hi Tim, thanks for your response.... I'll hope to reach someone on the phone one of these days and pose the question to my local EMS office or maybe even call the state office tomorrow M.

I went through my training last year - and I have to say, the more I concentrated on what was given in the question, the more I was successful answering them. What I mean is - do not read into the the scenario given and think what else may be, but do rather do pay attention to the facts that...

It may be a silly question, but I couldn't find any answer on it here, nor on the FEMA nor the NREMT website..... I'm a first time EMS provider, just last week passed my NREMT and awaiting the official certification to take to the county for licensing. Looking at job possibilities I...

I'm getting closer to be a fully licensed EMT-1/EMT-B in California. Passed my finals in training and already made my appointment for the NREMT written exam. Reading "check lists" of what else needs to be done I'm about to tackle DMV and get my "green card" - I downloaded, and started...

Anyone has some recent experience re: EMT-B education in the SF Bay Area and care to share their experience? Since I had several hick-ups registering for the EMT program at Chabot College in Hayward I looked up alternatives and found Merritt College (part of Peralta community college...

Another EMS newbie here ...from EMR To EMT to...? Thanks to google I came across this web site and thought I'll join in the fun and see if I can get advice, give my two cents, just plain read posts and keep myself up to date or maybe even build up a connection to someone. I'm Markus, I'm...
