    Is FTO EMT training this tough in other depts?

    Thanks, guys! It's nice to know that this isn't the norm. I'm just going to study a bunch before my FTO shift tomorrow, and do my best! My FTO really is good and helps me a ton, I just think the way they teach doesn't complement my learning style. They way they discourage me from asking...

    Is FTO EMT training this tough in other depts?

    I just got hired with a BLS company in the SF Bay Area in CA called ProTransport-1. It was a rigorous interview process in which we had to take a written test, pt assessment, and oral interview. I graduated top of my EMT class, so I had no problem getting in. Once I finally started my FTO...

    EMT Licensing in California?

    Hmm, I thought I had the California cert, but I'm not entirely sure. I got a certificate in the mail after passing the NREMT, is that it?

    EMT Licensing in California?

    I already received my certification in the mail. What I'm talking about is the "licensing." My friend said it's different than certification.

    EMT Licensing in California?

    Hey guys, I recently passed the NREMT (woo), and someone told me that I still have to get licensed by sending in all my documents and whatnot. I couldn't find anywhere on the website that confirmed this, so I was wondering if anyone knows if this is true, and if it is, where to go? I wanna start...

    Anyone have info on becoming an ED tech?

    Oh okay, thanks! So I did a little research, and California doesn't really use EMT-B or EMT-I, it's just called EMT, and I guess is similar to an EMT-I cert. I'll do some research on ER tech jobs in my area and see if any certs other than EMT would be helpful, but I've heard it's pretty...

    Difference between EMT-B and EMT-I?

    Hey guys, so I have a simple question: Is there a difference between EMT-B and EMT-I? I'm trying to figure out what kinds of jobs I'll be able to apply for once I have my EMT cert, and I'm not sure if I'll have and EMT-B or EMT-I. Thanks! Tanner

    Anyone have info on becoming an ED tech?

    Thanks! That helps a lot. Just a few other questions that arose: Is ER Tech the same as ED Tech? And do you know the average pay? Also, is EMT-B the same as EMT-I? Next semester I'm taking an EMT class where I can then take the national registry. Is the cert I'm going for EMT-B or EMT-I? I'm...

    Anyone have info on becoming an ED tech?

    I recently learned about ED Technicians being a good entry into the medical field, although it can be pretty difficult. That's pretty much all I know, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to become an ED Tech or the best ways to go about it. I live in the East Bay in California if that makes a...
