I heard from MedStar and at this time they are only hiring EMT's internally.

I am planning on applying to TCC's Paramedic Fall program. Has anyone attended their program? If so, what did you think. I know classes are 6-10 M,T & W. Do you know how many clinicals they require? Also, do you if they usually have a waiting list to get in?

Does anyone know how long their field training is and what it entails for a new emt-b?

Does anyone know what MedStar uses to detemine if you can handle carrying, pulling, etc.. 125 lbs?

Is this a company that you were hoping to work for? I have been out of school a month and have not applied anywhere. I am holding out for the company I want to go to work for to start hiring. Congrats on getting the job.

WOW. That is awesome, way to change your life around. Good luck to you in your EMS career and the rest of your life.

To Gastudent - relax and get some good sleep. The 1st thing I did was write down vitals, SAMPLE, OPQRTS and stuff like that on the dry erase board they give you. Then take 30 seconds to read and reread the question and think about actually being in that situation. I used my rideouts as...

I passed with 70 questions.

I passed!:rolleyes:

I just finished and it shut off at 70 questions. I have not received my results.

I have studied, studied and studied some more. I guess if I do not know it by now I will just retest because I WILL become an EMT. Thanks to all of you for your posts and great advice.:rolleyes:

Thank you Linuss.

I just finished EMT school and taking the national test in two weeks. I really want to work for MedStar in Ft. Worth, Texas. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the preemployment test is like? Does anyone work there? If so, how do you like it? Thanks,
