    Anyone work for Durham county EMS?

    Yeah its the only way to get reciprocity unless you live here. And technically you can drive in any state with any state issued license so. Most counties down here hire multiple times a year.

    Anyone work for Durham county EMS?

    Keep an eye open...we will be hiring again soon. Like I said if you got a valid state DL and medic card you can apply. You have to come here to do the assessment center but you can easily get them moved over to NC.

    Durham County is self insured...so risk management is very very particular on your driving record. Depending on what occurred and the outcome, you may have to explain that to the Risk Manager...I know a few ppl who had 2 or 3 tickets and didn't get hired.
