AMR Las Vegas written test

[Vegasmedic]

Hello all!

So I know there is many post about vegas already but none specific to the written test.

So I'm set to test with AMR/Medic west on Jan 6. and wanted to see what I should study specific to their test. 12 lead, rythems, A&P ect. I plan to study what I did for the national but I was hoping some one had already taken this test and had some insite. Feel free to PM if you'd rather.

Thanks all

*edit i just saw you're an emt-b. sorry i took the medic test. i'm not sure what you'll get, but if you pass that you move onto skills test. skills relative to you skill level. mega code, airway, medical scenario, trauma scenario, panel interview.

ugh....prob the same as all the AMR tests which i cant seem to pass no matter how much i study...

Spelling.

Sorry I couldn't resist. As an EMT why would they test you on 12-leads and rhythms? Most pre-employment written exams are similar to your class final.

You got called out son!

Don't Medicwest basics work the event side until they qualify as intermediates?

 

[SandpitMedic]

Yes, basics do events/IFT until they are intermediates, and more often then not they stay in events as intermediates for some time before going to streets. That isn't to say it is always like that with intermediates, but as stated- more often than not.

Even paramedics from other states work as street intermediates for sometime before being able to work as medics- again, not always, but a majority of them.

We have events/ILS(IFT) and streets/Ops.

@SandpitMedic why is that? Lack of experience or just to get familiar with the area?

 

[SandpitMedic]

Both. Usually for about 3-6 months.
