Why am I responsible for others? Because we are all humans and all deserve good health care. It is not always about us. I understand that people work hard and save for lifetime to provide and leave something for their families and that's admirable, and I applaud them for it. I have been...

thanks for your post!

My reply did not go through for whatever reason. To summarize- there are many organizations and events out there that are explaining ACA in easier more simpler ways for us that are not as well versed in all that mumbo jumbo. I read it on Wikipedia and it sure cleared up a lot for me...

First off I commend you for being a hardworking American family- Sounds like the American dream. I know many people in your predicament and I also know many who work just as hard as you and your family and still cannot afford healthcare in our most recent system (is that fair to you). What do...

This is response that I was not going to post, but decided it is an extremely important one for the original poster to read. The MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do is read the ACA for yourself. It is not that scary and many unbiased websites have made it simpler to read. Do not take your fellow...

I apologize for any grammatical and spelling errors. I was attempting to write quickly. Guess I should proofread for now on.

I am sorry to those directly affected negatively by the current change in healthcare benefits that our country has decided to move forward. Some people will get screwed over and others will get to use healthcare for the first time. It is my opinion and I believe the right one that it helps...

Please understand that what I am about to say comes with only the utmost respect for you and hopefully assisting you in gaining employment. If your resume including cover has already gotten you an interview than please take this with a grain of salt. When writing a cover letter keeping it...

I am bit confused but it might be that I did not understand what you wrote enough. So up until now you have no experience as an EMT, but are proficient in pretty much all the areas of EMT or higher? And you are nationally certified as an EMT-B?? If this is the case then yes I believe you are...

They are cutting the "PT" portion out- and instead implementing a more work oriented physical training approach e.g. lifting and bending (all in uniform). Insurance does not cover off site PT so that are doing away with it. Everything sounds wonderful though

Hello Biggs and congrats, I am also starting the academy next month but this is not my first EMS job so maybe I can attempt to help. So you ask what are 12 hour shifts? Well that's a simple answer in theory- basically an employee will work a scheduled shift for 12 hours (7am-7pm) and in...

I got the call this afternoon saying I was selected. Hope everyone else gets some good news as well. Let me know

Yes I feel your pain!! Every second feels like an eternity. I do hope everyone who interviewed gets a position. I wish I knew how many people interviewed

So I take it you feel good about the interview. Did they mention if and when they would be calling you? I finished my interview early this morning and feel okay about it. No hang-ups but you never know specifically what they want to hear.

Good luck to everyone from today and tomorrow who has an interview. Post any words of advice if you have any. See you there
