Saw this recently: http://www.voiceofoc.org/countywide/county_government/article_b3417802-6379-11e4-b5f7-7b723784b066.html "On Oct. 9, the Health Care Agency issued its recommendations to the Board of Supervisors -- which immediately drew fire from ambulance firms. These recommendations made...

I had mine done by a chiropractor on that list and it was accepted. I can't remember the price but it was less than $75.

Just came across this petition and thought I'd share. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/775/481/834/tell-canada-to-take-notice-of-first-responders-suffering-from-ptsd/

I took it about a week after my class ended, which was the soonest possible after my instructor approved everything.

Congrats on passing! I believe the DMV Livescan only requires DOJ, so at least it's a little cheaper. Also wanted to add that some employers want their H6s to be dated within 30 days from when you apply, interview, or get hired. So don't get it until they specify it's needed, to avoid...

AMR has a timed test. You go through the steps of responding to a call including getting out of the truck, opening the back doors, carrying equipment, etc. You'll have to load/unload the gurney, and carry a barbell (about 75) at waist level up and down a few steps. The highest weight on the...

It was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. I didn't pre-read the book but I did skim through the chapters the day before we went over them in class. There were a number of people in my class who dropped out or failed, but that was because they didn't keep up with the readings and didn't ask for...

Some that I remember from EMT interviews: Why do you want to work here? Why EMT Conflict with a coworker Example of how you manage your time Describe a time you were under a lot of stress A time you demonstrated leadership The only one that I really blanked out on was about describing a time...

I had zero clinical experience and very little overall work experience and still got job offers.

There are 3- and 8-week classes at UCLA. I haven't taken it though. Looks like the next classes start in October at $1,195. https://www.cpc.mednet.ucla.edu/course/emt

I haven't been in your situation, but I've been looking into all the different health professions for a while. One thing to consider is that some PA schools either require or recommend that the pre-reqs are taken within 5-10 years of applying, and to retake them if they weren't. Some don't...

I have a small first aid kit in my car intended mainly for personal use. No stickers. I do carry a disposable mouth barrier for CPR, but I haven't had to use it. I've never stopped to help out while driving. I haven't seen a major accident that didn't already have EMS on scene, and minor...

I was told last month when I tested that their next interviews will be in June for a start date in July.

The LADOT office wants an official one printed out within the last 30 days. I don't think I've seen a company so far that accepts the online version.
