Hi there. I'm a 47 year old mom/wife who graduated in May of this year from Baldy View ROP EMT program, in Ontario, CA. Ever since, I've been filling out forms, getting live scans, paying app fees, and collecting documents! I'm licensed for Inland Counties, have my LA County expanded scope of practice, NREMT cert, and have passed all three FEMA Incident Command System tests. I have my temporary ambulance driver's license; passed the written test without too much difficulty. Here's the thing: after waiting six months for the license, DMV notified me to send more forms from my physicians okaying me for work/driving even though I take 2 medications for depression (effexor and aplenzin). I got my physicians to fill out the forms approving me for EMS work. Is it likely that I will have to resort to the final step: a hearing and an appeal? I have so loved the course and the learning and practice and so much want to work in the field...I hate to think I might be stopped before I even start!!!!!!!

A lot of companies in So Cal will hire people who can't drive, so start applying while waiting for the DMV cert.
Im not clear on why the DMV is not giving you a certification. You showed them your green card (physicians clearance) and payed the fee, took the written test and passed the live scan. Thats all I did. I went in and got it all done in one day. Why are they not issuing your certificate?

That'll teach you to tell the truth on those forms.
And you can work for event ems. Priority one is just a transport ambulance but they do hire non drivers.

The CA DMV LOST my paperwork twice!!!! It can take a while.
Pretty much what the DMV doesn't know won't hurt them, sssssh just tell them not to put the eye chart infront of Brown and ask him to read it
