mecklenberg county EMS uses some similar to that with the four doors.

Yeah I do mostly IFT and we have 911 contracts with nursing facilities .. So the call volume is not there really.

This is to Medics and even EMT's, how long did it take you to feel comfortable running calls and making decisions? I'm only 6 shifts in with being a medic and do not feel comfortable yet on calls. I even have a hard time spitting out my report to the hospital staff. I'm confident in my skills...

There are numerous good fire based departments in northern Virginia and Into Maryland. If I were you I would just start to apply to as many departments as you can it may open a new opportunity for you. There are a couple people that work for NOVA departments on here hopefully they can chime in.

Inferior leads look suspect to me.

Just mailed in my application... Any up to date info on the company would be appreciated.

Will this hiring process be back open anytime soon?

No not just for rookies happened last shift lol.

I had to do a full PCR for each patient assessment. Each IV, medication, intubation got a separate form to turn it. Basically we had a binder full of paperwork to carry around the hospital all day.

I learned more from the respiratory therapists in 6 shifts then I did from any ER nurse . I had the same experience as you they were rude and wouldn't give us the time of day.

Imacho works there hopefully he will chime in.

That would be a big commitment to work as a basic for 3 years after busting my but for over a year in medic school. It's to bad sounds like a great place to work.

Awesome thanks! I do have my NR card. I will check out the website. Might get expensive making the trip from ohio .

Does anyone know what the hiring process is like for an out of state applicant? Any general info would be great, I just got the recruitment email.
