    Am I in the wrong field?

    You say there are services that will hire me. I'm a little new to this whole thing. Do you mean like EMT transport services or 9/11? Are you trying to say they would hire me knowing that I would be at risk or they would assign me duties where I would not be at risk? What are my chances of...

    NREMT exam

    Hi, I just passed my New Jersey EMT-B test and I was wondering how important is the National Registry test? I currently live in New York and I will be applying for reciprocity. I believe it's easier to take it now as opposed to waiting until I need it. Is that correct? Thanks

    Saudi Red Crescent Authority

    Thanks. When I went to school in Saudi it was a similar run around getting documents notorized, translated, criminal background check, sending my passport to the embassy and waiting for my passport to arrive with the visa and plane ticket. I guess its a e-ticket these days. I was there in 2000...

    Beards and AMR

    I'm preparing to sit for the New Jersey EMT-B exam. I am a Orthodox Sunni Muslim and I have had a beard for about 13 years. Could I purchase the PAPR mask myself and present it to a potential employer if there is an issue? Would that work or would it be a waste of time? Thank You
