EMT-B re-cert exam. 66-70 questions. Done in 30 minutes. Easy as freaking pie. Tested @ 1245p, resulted 6a the next day. This time around was much more comprehensive (relatively). Frightening to know that a person only has to answer 70 multiple choice questions to be certified to save life...

It will be interesting to see who comes up with the Boulder County/Arvada contracts. Seems like a bust for R/M if they don't get em. I work for Northglenn and we just lost the 911 contract for the city of NG starting at the end of 2011.

It seems as if everybody wants at least 1 year of experience before they will even consider hiring you. I am looking for an emt-b job or a place where I can volunteer and at least get my foot in the door as an EMT with no previous experience. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I...

Met Dennis and got to talk to him a little bit towards the end of my class. Very cool down to earth guy. If I ever go to P school it would be awesome to learn from him. B)

Excited to take my IV approval soon here in Colorado as an EMT-B. Seems as if most places round here won't take you until you have your IV approval, or will require you to get it upon hire - as if there were jobs to be had right now! :rolleyes:

65 and passed. waahoooooo

I would definitely be interested in hearing about your experience at Boston EMS. How long was the course?

Wow I am glad I am not the only one! The more I research and the more I read the more I want to be part of the EMS community and do this. I want to attend a strong program, not some so-so, iffy program, hence my reason for coming to the forums. Thank you so much for the share!

thank you so much for all of the info and links, it definitely helps a ton.

what is the "ticket" that keeps getting referred too?

My Situation: I am graduating college with an unrelated degree in May. After that I am considering a move to Massachusetts to dive into the EMS field. I am taking a First Aid/CPR for the Professional Rescuer class in my last semester to get things going. I would like to take an EMT-B...

Ive been searching left and right for an EMT Basic class and haven't had much luck. Can anyone point me in the direction of where the course is offered? If anyone has recommendations I am all ears.
