AMR Hemet Test

[exodus]

Just stopped by AMR in Hemet and picked up an app. I came by too late to do the test today, so I'm going back on friday to do it. Anything special on the test I should go over or memorize beforehand?

Hopefully they like the fact that I have 2 years experience as an EMT and dispatcher, with a year of it on a CCT rig... Who knows. I just want an EMT job here in riverside. I hate commuting down to SD to work =(

The test is from 2007. There is basically a question about everything you have learned from triage to pregnancy.

Do you know if I need the RiCo EMS card too? I have my new state one AND San Diego one I just got today..

 

[DesertMedic66]

Just your state. All the counties in California are moving to just the state card

That's what I thought... Hopefully AMR is okay with it though.

Good luck man, We just had some EMT spots open up but I think they just hired 4 PT'ers. Hemet AMR is an awesome division. Hope to see you out here.


Edit: My partner just bid to weekdays, so I need an EMT!

I got 2 years CCT experience, and one of our nurses used to work as a Medic for AMR Hemet a few years ago and she told me that she was told in a few weeks some EMT's would be hired. She's still good friends, with I think the person, who is the manager. So hopefully it all works out!

I got out of EMT school in January and still feel nervous about taking that AMR test feels like forever ago.

When I got my card it was just the state card so I called REMS (Riverside county EMS) and they confirmed that California dropped the county cards. And yes California is a NR state. For my EMT cert I just had to show proof I passed the NR test and then bring a couple more documents (and about $100).

Here is the website with the phone number if you wish to find out anymore info:

The number is at the bottom lefthand corner under "contact us". I havent had time to look for the exact place where it says that (if it's even on the website).

Yes your Temporary Ambo Cert is fine. The real cert will take about 4 months to get back to you (that's how long it took mine to arrive).

The pink ambo cert is good for 180 days after the date of issue.

yep. they make you wait most of those days too. the one you get in the mail looks the exact same. its just white and not pink.

Does this allow me to apply to companies out of the county that I currently have a card in? (rivco)
