Just wondering if anyone out there has experience with Durham Tech. I'm trying to find out some personal reviews about this school before I officially decide to go there for my medic cert. Thanks

Christopher is right. There are a lot of opportunities here in NC for EMT-B. I recently moved from Utah, got my reciprocity rather easily and quite fast. Still unemployed at the moment but every day I'm applying to new jobs that need EMTs. Good luck to ya

I researched the forum about this course, didn't find too much info. My question is, how valuable of a course is this? As in, the people who may have taken it. Did you find it was worth the price? ($175 here in NC) Is the knowledge gained any more useful than what you may have learned about...

Hey you guys. Thanks for checking out my resume, and you're right, I shouldn't have posted that sensitive info about myself. Guess I was being a little too trustworthy. Either way, ironically a few days after I started this thread I was called in to do a written test. Did that this morning...

I'm waiting for OC to have openings. A guy told me they were going to hire in June. In the meantime I've been waiting to hear back from my local Fire Dept. and Orange County Rescue Squad for some volunteer time.

Honestly, it's only been 1 month. I know the hiring process is slow. Getting a lot of turn downs from hospitals. Perhaps I will try to call them to see what I need to do to get past the initial resume screening. I have been thinking about redoing my resume, also have been trying to remain...

So as the title states. Not having any luck landing a position somewhere. Just moved, got the reciprocity done, (EMT-I), but can't get anything. Looking at just taking some BS job in the meantime. Anyone else been in a situation like this?

I was cruising through the threads and saw yours. I just moved to NC as well and now I'm in the middle of all the reciprocity stuff. How did everything for you work out?

You've been a big help. I really appreciate it. Gives me more optimism that I'll have a solid chance of getting hired there. Seems like the best place to work around here. I'm right outside Mebane so working in Durham would be perfect. Another question is the GEMS and the PEPP. I have...

I'm assuming the assessment for EMTs will be fairly simple? Patient assessments, airway, bleeding, cardiac (codes?), etc... just proving you can execute the motions of patient care? Plus the physical things like lifting, moving of course. The website makes it seem pretty easy to pass.

Medic, When Durham is hiring again, will it be posted on the Durham County EMS website? And is this the kind of place that acknowledges connections from applicants to employees? (As in friends, nepotism...anything like that?) Because I have zero connections to anybody in EMS here.

Once you establish here it's easy, but you're out of state right? I had to wait till I moved here as well. I had my reciprocity packet months ago. I know if you have a promise to hire from someone, the NC DL thing is waived. Try it out dude. NC is a great place to live, I'm very happy to have...

Gotcha. I was planning on doing that.

Can you define a "good" driving record? I have a speeding ticket and another improper left hand turn. Stupid. No DUIs or anything serious, just those 2 violations.

Medic, I've got the packet completed and it is sent out. I'm wondering how AEMT will transfer here given that it seems everyone is looking for Intermediates, and how the Advanced will translate into one of the Intermediates because I know there is a difference. Also if I will be granted EMT-B...

I really don't want to clog up the site with a bunch of repetitive questions that seasoned folk get tired of seeing. I suppose I'm just nervous like the rest of the people out there just starting out or moving to a new state. Most people here seem to be pretty informative and helpful though.

Thanks man. Here's 4 I guess.

DrParasite, Is this opening already closed? I clicked the link and got nothing. How did you find the info that they were looking for applicants to start in May? I've been all over the Durham County EMS site and can't really find any of that info.

I just moved to the area and would really like to get into Durham County EMS as well. Is it ok if I send you a PM also? Sorry to tag along on the poster's thread, but this is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

So I've scoured the boards and the internet for the best info on this, now I'm looking for anyone with some personal experiences dealing with this. I am currently an AEMT in Utah and I'm moving to NC in a few months. I can't seem to find a definitive answer on whether NC is using AEMT or the...
