emt-b

Ok so I'm currently an EMT-B and while I was working for one of the 9-1-1 ambulance companies in my county, there's only 2 of them outside of fire departments, I was given the option of either resigning or being terminated after one of my partners backed our rig into a metal post and somehow...

So I just accepted a job with them. I'm going in as an EMT-B, and they're going to pay for me to move up to EMT-A which will also come with a pay raise. From what I could tell at the interview, my boss is a pretty straight shooter. Can anyone tell me anything about them? Any one else work for...

Hey all, I'm a HS student in Arizona and it's nearing that time where I need to figure out what to do with my life. My dad was a FF/EMT for years before I came along and is pushing me to go the EMS route instead of law enforcement. Through my county I can get my EMT-B by the time I graduate for...

Hey all, I'll be moving out to CO in the next few months...probably somewhere in the greater Denver area, but CO Springs or anywhere else really is an option (further towards/in the mountains the better). Anyone have thoughts on what private companies are good to work for out there at the EMT-B...

My CPR cert expires in a few months but I really want to get the recertification knocked out ASAP before school starts back up for me. The company I work for says they don't have any recertification classes right now but suggested searching the internet (which didn't help me). Any ideas on how I...

I'm currently with a station on probation. I got my EMT certification through them. Due to family circumstances, I now live an hour away and it's really hard for me to do things. I have been considering quitting. Today, someone called and warned me that if I don't complete my service hours, I'll...

I have been searching high and low for EMT-B programs in Washington State, and the only on I can find is Tacoma Community College. AMR says they have locations in southern WA but none are offering courses. Does anyone know of any programs I am missing. I am registered as #20 on the TCC waitlist...

hello, I'm wondering where I can take an EMT Refresher or CE course? I live in West Covina California. My NREMT cert expires March 2017. I've been googling and found one school that offers a refresher course but it's super far! The rest of the results are for online schools and other random...

I just finished obtaining all that I need in order to work as an EMT-I here in Stanislaus County and now plan on applying to various companies/agencies and hospitals, particularly in Modesto. I am awre of the tests that they give you and I am not too concerned about them. My only concern is the...

Hello, I am a student taking a emt-b course. What do you suggest I do to study and how? I'm new to emt life also.

As an emt fresh from the national registry without any job experience I've never bagged a patient. I imagine it's much harder to get a good seal and chest rise than it is on our mannequins at school. Is it more difficult than what I've been taught? Tips and tricks? This may be a simple question...

Hello. Are there any good pocket guides or study materials that anyone can recommend for studying for the EMT-B computer-based test? I signed up for 30-day membership on EMTprep.com. I just want some small resource that has helpful information/refreshers...

My question today is twofold. First of all, I know how essential it is to be IV certified when looking for your first EMT-B job and that it really gives you a leg up on the other candidates. I am taking my EMT-B class in the fall, and then in the spring, the IV certification class goes from...
