Congrats! It's a great feeling finally just getting your foot in the door somewhere. Especially since it seems like everybody wants experience even when it's an "entry level" position.

In Oklahoma we have ET intubation, IV's, ped IO's, and a small handful of meds - narcan, albuterol, nitro, 1:1000 epi, nitrous oxide, glucagon, and maybe a few others I can't think of right now.

Sorry typing from my phone, Advanced EMT.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm really looking forward to getting started. I just completed my Advanced course and I'm testing towards the end of next month and there's a possibility I might get to run a some calls as the lead man after I get that cert and some time under my belt. All in all...

Well so far I'm 1 for 1 in interviews and getting hired. I know that's something to definitely be thankful for in today's job market, especially as an EMT. It's a 911 county-based service covering around 100,000 people. Now that I'm hired though, what's next? I have about a month until...

Hey guys and girls, I just got my first EMT job interview with Comanche County Memorial Hospital's EMS in Lawton, OK. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything or has experience working for them. Also, anything I need to practice on or focus on? The oral board kind of makes me nervous, I'm...

Something I did to help with my testing was a pneumonic device, SIAT-SEVIR. S-Scene Safety/Size-up I- Initial impression A- ABC's T- Transport decision S- Sample hx E- Evaluation V- Vitals I- Interventions R- Repeat vitals, assessment, and response

Congrats! So were there any EKG or cardiac drug questions on it?

Yeah, took the ACT once in high school and got a 26 so hopefully it'll be close to that lol any advice for the interviews? Sort of looking ahead but that's the part that makes me the most nervous.

Just thought I'd give an update for anyone who cared. I decided to take the majority of you guy's advice and apply for the fire job. So far I've made the 2nd round of applicants with the CPAT and written test coming up in a couple weeks. Any advice for the written test? Should I be expecting...

Looking for some insight into the NREMT advanced test. I was talking to a medic a few days ago that said he was an advanced instructor at a school across town and that his program and book went very in-depth into EKG monitoring and first line cardiac drugs. The book we've used (2012 Brady AEMT...

Not to thread-jack here but I'm in the last few weeks of my advanced class in Oklahoma and I've heard from a few people that when we apply and test for our OK state license, that our license to practice will be at an Intermediate level. I know advanced and intermediate are very similiar if not...

Thanks, that does make a lot of sense. That's actually a really good point that hasn't even crossed my mind, good fire jobs are few and far between. I'm sure working in a smaller, rural area I would still be working a lot of EMS calls, too. Thanks again for the advice, that really puts things...

I know this a personal preference question just as much as it is anything else, but I was hoping to get a little insight into my dilemma. I'm currently a Basic living in a pretty large area (150,000+) and in class for my AEMT right now and from the very beginning, it was EMS the whole way...

Emstat would be my ideal pick if I go ems. I did my clinicals there and they were great, but I'm still considering fire. I'm in school for advanced right now so I'm hoping by the time I finish I'll have a better idea of which is for me.

No news yet. Checking about every 20 minutes or so..

Well just got done testing. 110ish questions. Left feeling about 50/50 on my confidence. Now sipping on a Coors and hoping for the best lol

110ish in Norman, OK. Never needed a cold beer more in my life lol

All around great advice. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I think the biggest part is people hype it up to be some monsterous, intimidating test. I'm taking the attitude of it's just another test and hopefully that'll ease some tension on my already worn-out brain lol

Another nervous nremt virgin here. Just trying to get some tips/ points to focus on in this last week before the test. I'm pretty confident in my general knowledge base, I'm just wondering what subjects and hints I really need to hammer. So far on my list I have 1. ABC's 2. Scene Size-up /...
