I'm a single parent and am very much aware of possible shifts including overnights and weekends when I start work as an EMT. My question/concern is if it's possible to let my station know that overnight shifts are nearly impossible? Will it be frowned upon because I have childcare issues that I...

Hi everyone, I took my EMT NY State Exam in May and got a little bit below 70 ( I'm incredibly ashamed, I loved the class! )... I take the written test again at the end of August and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how I can improve my score and pass with the 70 required or above...
