Did you ask why not or what you could do to make yourself a better candidate for next time?

For the splinting was it traction and/or sager?

How was the written test? Anything i should be looking at more in detail?

Thanks!

You will be covering everything from being introduced to various people to benefits, payroll scheduling etc. Operations, expanded scopes for LA and Orange and a whole lot more. It is a lot of information.

@anonymous...what is the 2nd week of traing like....I understand its out in the field....do you do 12hr shifts...and do you have any idea where you go?

2nd week are regular shifts just with an FTO. They try and schedule you 2 fire shifts and 2 IFTs. Fire shifts will be 12, private will be around 9. You are the third person so you ride in the back the entire time which gets old. Mostly you will be learning the epcr they use. My advice is please please try to take initiative and jump in there while you have an FTO watching over you because after that you are on your own, especially if you have never worked as an EMT before. I would try to do assessments if they will let you, set up 12 leads etc.

They don't stop you at the door and say "wait til were ready for you?"
