I would look at the different classes the shorter they are, the harder and more time consuming the class will be. As far as the certification goes it all depends on the state, you can check their ems website for how long it is and what you need. You also should check the age requirements, some...

I have interviewed with several ems providers and never heard of group interviews. I agree that it seems a little shady.

Any luck finding job openings?

How is it that I can be 10 hrs into my shift and only had one call? I'm so bored and my partner is REALLY starting to get on my nerves.

Yeah he may have, but even then it's not the same as being the actual one in charge. Seeing someone do it and doing it yourself are completely different.

I'm so sorry, I know that won't make it any easier, but I will definitely keep my hopes up that you have a full recovery.

I would at least get some field experience. I have seen several EMTs start not realizing what exactly the job entails physically and mentally. It would just suck if you went through all this schooling and found out that you don't like the job.

Northern. It took a me awhile to find I have now and it took even longer to get the one I want. The best thing I did was still give applications even if they're not hiring.

I am currently working as an Emt in California. I have been for 3 years now, I Am hoping to get some good tips and advice from other people who enjoy what they do. I start paramedic training in the spring and am definitely willing to take any tips people have.
