Standards by state?

[Lucy212]

Hello EMT family,

I have applied to a local hospital in my community as an EMT-B. Since I have little experience, the EMS Supervisor suggested I start off as a volly and complete 100 hours or 6 months, whichever comes first. Upon satisfactorily doing so, I will be transferred to paid. My questions are is 100 hours a standard here in NY or nationwide for completing volly hours and secondly, will the volly shift possibly be flexible? :unsure:


Thanks in advance everyone,

~ Lucy

I wasn't required to have any Vollie hour thankfully. And from working in three different states I've never heard that being a requirement. I would just look to get onto a paid service ASAP.
