Find your strong and weak areas in your knowledge first. For example you may be knowledgeable in cardiology but lacking in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Focus on your weak areas with the jb learning tool and review your specifics

Did they tell you your starting pay would be $10? They continuously told me it was $12 an hour but I'm starting to question that. Also were you working for PRN in la County?

Thanks, also hr told me flat out the pay was $12 an hour

Btw, it's in California

On fine print the hourly wage is 12 so I'm wondering if it's tax deductible or not. I've been searching for an actual number but it goes everywhere from 10 to even 16. For any current or former PRN employees, what were the pays for an emt? Also I've seen a difference in pay between an EMT and...

I got picked up by PRN actually. Dropped out of McCormick hiring process because I found out I would have to make extremely long commutes. IFT is still good in my book as long as I can get the work experience and money for medic school Btw for those of you in McCormick's process, be prepared to...

I'm in the process with McCormick as well. I passed their written test but I didn't pass the mapping test first time around so I got to retake it today and I passed. I got dummy drag, skills, and interview scheduled next week. How does the interview go?

Google maps is the new kid on the block

How can I study for the mapping test?

Sounds like a good idea. Also do you happen to know if the 6 month minimum work experience to apply for medic school only applies to jobs in a rig?

Hey y'all so quick update: I'm still 18 and an EMT-B but I also got ACLS certified and took an ECG and Pharmacolgy class and also recently got my driving license. I'm now going to apply to different ambulance services but I've heard a number of services don't let 18 y/olds drive for insurance...

You would only do a rapid assessment or detailed physical exam if it were a trauma case since in the rapid you're only looking for life threading injuries and in a detailed, you're actually looking for DCAPBTLS which could be as a result of trauma. Your guest is wrong. In a medical secondary...

JB Learning. I'd say this is one of the best test preps out there.

Nothing. I've received the answers I was looking for. I was more or less answering to what summit asked for which was specifics and I answered with CHAPS which was the symptoms I was taught to be wary of.

Anything with the CHAPS acronym (Chest pain, hypotension, ALOC, perfusion, shortness of breath)

So in unstable, symptomatic bradycardia you would give atropine or dopamine and consider transcutaneous pacing and in unstable symptomatic tachycardia, adenosine if regular QRS and consider synchronized cardioversion. But what would you do if the patients are bradycardic or tachycardic but are...

The QRS complexes in lead III looks like they're within normal limits. I don't think it could be a bundle branch block for the beginning ones.

I'm about to mail my state license application and one of the requirements is a LA County Local Scope of Practice 2011 certificate. Since I took my EMT class at UCLA, the scope of Practice is already on the course completion certificate so should I just mail as it is or should I do the scope of...

Duly noted

By "getting experience" I'm assuming in the form of volunteer work/more ride alongs?
