It really just depends on the company. I am heavily tattooed and my last company didn't care at all, but you should check out tatjackets. www.tatjacket.com

I don't know about Paramedic, but for EMT I used a great online program from Jones and Bartlett. If you can score 80-90% on their practice tests you'll pass for sure.

I heard a rumor that AMR locations in Washington state did not offer 24 hour shifts. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I just moved from California to Washington, but I tested with AMR and have an interview next week. I heard that they also ask assessment questions during the interview?

Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. Already downloaded the protocol and it seems fairly straight-forward (I'll be taking the BLS test), but I hear they just throw you with crazy questions. I'm trying not to let the pass/fail rate of 1 out of 10 scare me..Congrats to you though if you passed!
