Without reading the first response I immediately was thinking make your own with a "!" By the end of my school I have everyone walking around with 3x5's quizzing each other. I also used a tiny white board with a dry erase marker and wrote them out, erased..........repeat till you need a new pen...

Just took that physical on monday. cake walk. had to move some weight around and bend an pick up a gurney. not bad at all. orientation academy monday-thurs in san fran. stoked!!! Cheers

hey there. I see you live in the same area I do. its a struggle to get a job, but stay with it. I just got picked up but its all the way out in the bay area. good luck!!

its a broken record but A&P. I struggled with it cause I didn't go all in on it prior. if you don't have time anything you do will benefit ie looking through your book, medications, ekg stuff. be a sponge an soak up as much as you can. Good Luck. stay dedicated.

to each is own on this topic. You will find what works for you. but pretty much a life in ems is a chaotic one. We are different from any other job in the country thus are sleep cycle or lack of one is common. I solid nap when I get home does the trip although ill still be a slow all day. Good Luck!

Protocols!!! I have to learn another one but that means I got another job. AMR time. First time doing the whole private ambulance thing. Been with FD as a Basic etc. Any advice for dealing with the corporate side of things?

Slip on boots called RedBacks. most comfortable boot around. quick to put on. hold a polish. steel toe. Good Luck. Cheers!

go on the San Diego ems website an there should be a list of approved ambulance providers for the county. drop every app you can an hope for the best. Good luck. Cheers!

1st I stopped at 150 an failed. 2nd time I passed at 80. but friend of mine passed at 180 so anythin is possible. no harm no foul if you need to go round 2. good luck. cheers!

I would say all in all RN makes more. but many things play into it. Company. experience. benefits. retirement. etc. Im not sure how things work out there this is from what I know out in CA. either one is going to be a blast. good luck!

well we seem to be on the same page of hiring. diff counties that is. I just got the word that ill be doing the background, physical etc. Im just getting on my feet from medic school (financialy!!!) only part im really worried about is my credit; all my bills have been paid on time, but my...

well treat your patient not your ECG. but being a monday morning quarterback. V.O.M.I.T. vitals, O2, Monitor, IV, transport. if the signs an symptoms come back treat accordingly.

Im going through the process for a bay area unit right know. They got my information orginally from another place I applied to so they do communicate with each other. The lady knew I have applied all over. worst case is just ask. Does anyone know how the transfer policy works??? is it 6 months...

shave man. I wouldn't think twice. once your get picked up then you can have it according to the companies grooming standards.

Yea after posting this I have linked and found a lot of other threads just like it. my bad; and most of them are saying the exact same thing. I tend to agree that shortcuts are not the way to go. medic school was hard enough for me. I'm just frustrated with the work situation out here!!

of course my man. that's how the process works. just dress the part. and answer appropriately.

So the question is has anyone thought of taking the MEDIC to RN bridge class??? being a EMTLIFE forum this could i expect some negative responses but thought I would throw it out there. Paramedic jobs are scarce (spelling) out in CA, the money for a RN kills a private medic salary. the fact...

Paramedic 1st try 150 FAIL! 2nd time 80! passed

I never had to take the Basic NREMT exam but I took the medic one twice. The second time I took it as serious as I could, prepared a ton. ate a good breakfast took my TIME on every question, canceled out two answers as best as I could an worked out the rest. good luck!

yea I think your good. that would be a good question to ask in your interview. either way its a huge foot in the door. Times are though right know. take what you can get!
