One of my local hospitals has 2 positions open for ER Techs. One day shift position and one night shift. I know both will pay different with overnight differentials but does anyone have any clue what they start out on average around my area? I currently have no experience as an EMT which way...

How do you find out if an Ambulance service is strictly IFT? I just passed my state test to become an EMT-B and I'm just waiting for my cert. to show up in the mail so I can start applying places. I've heard that IFT's are generally the easiest to get onto because most people don't like working...

I just found out that I passed my State test to be licensed as an EMT-B. Thanks alot everyone here for the help on this forum. Now for my main question. Just coming out of school did you feel lost? I mean I did ok in the class but I feel like if I was put on the job that I wouldn't be able to...

Anyone have any clue how long it usually takes them to post the grades online? I took my test last Saturday and the anticipation is killing right now. They told us the grades would be posted before the actual scores were mailed to us just didn't say how soon that would be.

We started our practical stations today in my EMT-B class and I gotta say I got my self all worked up for basically nothing. To be honest none of us even new today was going to be a hands on practical day. Our teacher told us last week that our exam and practical would be next week but didn't...

So we just finished up all of our trauma sections in my EMT class and our instructors have cleared us to get our Ride Alongs scheduled. I gotta say that I'm pretty nervous just thinking about getting my first taste of everything I've been learning about but i'm also very pumped at the same time...

I see all kinds of threads with people talking about IFT's and working for an IFT company or something along those lines and I have absolutely no clue what you guys are talking about. What exactly does it mean?:blush:

Reason why I ask is that right now I work 32 hours a week at my current job at 4 days a week. Once I get done with my EMT-B course I would like to get a job as a part-timer and do that while I go to school to become a Paramedic. I hear alot of people saying they work 12hour shift or 24 hours...

Well I'll be pushing 2 months into my EMT class come October 14th and I just wanted to say it feels good to actually understand alot of what is being talked about on these threads. :) When I first got on here in early August I basically was lost in some of these as I had no clue what alot of...

I'm a few days into my EMT-B class and so far so good. I'm likeing everything they are telling us so far and excited about getting CPR certified next week. My only concern so far is the amount of Clinical time they require on an ambulance to take the state license test. In our class it is only...

I'm assuming you don't need a degree to become a paramedic but what does it all consist of. I am looking at my local college and they have a major of EMS. Did you guys just take the Paramedic classes or did you complete an entire EMS degree? IF not the degree, did you do the classes and then...
