Funny you say that as I have been seriously considering that lately. Thanks for the advice! Were you a Medic in the army?

I am currently living in the Phoenix area and I am having a really difficult time getting an EMT-b job. I am in medic school and I am working as a waiter. I would really like to use my EMT-b however and I never hear anything back from places I apply to. Any advice? Or should I just finish medic...

Took the emt-B test this morning and it cut off at 115 I think. I passed with only 10 min to spare.

Learn the bones especially if they give you a bones test. Learn the heart and how blood flows through it. And the basics of the male and femal reproductive system which I bet you already know. If you go to the end of the chapter there is a bunch of orange pages that give all the importabt words...

I think it just depends on the community college/institution that’s teaching it. Every place has there own book. And I’ve been working on my psychic ability’s haha. I remember the human body chapter though from when we went though it. And it is a butt kicker.

Me too! You should apply for the department when they are open for hire again. I know I will! It’s really competitive to get hired in the department. Are you located in Phoenix?

I’m am still in EMT school so I don’t have the wisdom some of these people have, but I will tell you what has helped me. Reading the chapters we will be going over in class, before class starts as opposed to after. This way I can have an idea of what they’re speaking about. Also put in the time...

What do you mean the Fire Academy? For Phoenix? Or what department? Or is it through a community college. Phoenix requires all people to go through there’s no matter what academy you’ve done in the past. But some of the smaller departments don’t.

Hi, I’m Ben! I currently reside in Phoenix Arizona and am in EMT-b School. This thread helped me a bunch as I was preparing for EMT School and I love reading the ems stories on these forums! I like to hunt and fish and am part of FireFighters for Christ international and am pursuing a career in...

So I ended up finding a guy on Craigslist who dropped out of RN School. Sold me his litmann classic 3 for less than half of sales price. It was the color I wanted and still in package!
