I do have a bone to pick. I am an employee of unnamed company and am tired of being abused and undertrained and seeing patients "treated" by people they think are professionals. I just became aware of this particular issue today and called the state EMS authority as well as the county ems...

I'm wondering what the legalities are concerning unlicensed EMT's that are operating in the Bay Area of California. I know several EMT's that work for an IFT provider that haven't even applied for their county EMS cards yet but have passed their fto training and are being scheduled on BLS and...

Hoping this thread is still alive. I'm looking for some info about volunteering abroad as an EMT- preferably South America. Being an EMT, I don't have a lot of money and all the programs I've looked at seem ridiculously expensive. Any tips would be great.

finally heard from them. They sent the job offer so I am now hired! Good luck with your apps Angel

I took the NREMT this morning- had 70 questions. I checked this afternoon and the nremt website now says when my credentials will expire and my status is EMT instead of candidate (that means I passed right?!?)- I haven't gotten an actual email saying my score or that I passed. I also went and...

thank you for all of the helpful info! I definitely did not know all of that. I was thinking I would get to see more stuff on an ALS rig which would be good experience for PA school, but I'll pretty much take whatever I can get. Aprz- thank you especially for all the tips- I'll pass it along to...

I'm about 2 weeks away from completing my EMT-B courses. I have maintained high A's in all three classes in the program, and feel confident that I will pass the national registry after putting in lots of hours studying. I have a B.S. in Clinical Nutrition from UC Davis as well. I'm just...
