Hey there, There's a big music festival around this time of year where I'm from, and they always ask for volunteers to work first aid. I've never volunteered for something like this before now. So, I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on what to expect. There's usually around 30,000...

I'll be 911, and I'm not sure how long the orientation period is, but thanks guys! That's helps a little!

That's perfect, thanks guys!

I've been working as an EMT for awhile now, new to this forum, but fory first question I gotta ask... What's the best way to tell your family and friends that you just want to leave your work at work. I get woken up to texts and phone calls from them asking about their injuries/illnesses. I just...
