Honestly? Before you actually go through paramedic training? I would check with your certifying agency to see if they'll even certify you as a paramedic. I am actually rather surprised they certified you as an Basic as most EMS agencies will say no to this offense. If you can't find a job as a...

When it comes down to it? It all depends on how your physician feels.

Don't feel discouraged about not having alot of experience. A lot of companies actually prefer fresh/new EMT's.

Hello there! Today is my b-day and i am just turning 21! Please believe me when I say "I totally understand your pain" When it comes to the age restriction? It's not more of a based preference on their behalf. When it comes down to it? It's more so a requirement from their insurance...

Thanks everyone! I finally got my results and passed! I didn't seem to struggle on too many of the questions. I just felt as if it should've been harder in my opinion. I was getting quite a bit of respiratory, seizure, diabetic and OBG scenario's which are like my strongest area's.

I've actually considered relocating quite a bit. I just dont really have the money to just up and leave from where I currently am now and not have a for sure job.

Hello there. Figured I'd give this a shot. Does anyone have a list of companies that they know of that are actually hiring entry-level EMT-B. I'm based here in the Sf Bay Area. Northern California.
