Got one of those as well, it's more than you will ever need, but works great as a travel bag

I agree with NPO, UCLA's rep isn't what it used to be. It's pricey and you get your field internship in LA County which is great if you plan on staying in LA county for your career, if not you will be deficient in many skills, medications, and how things work outside a major metropolitan area...

Ok, but from experience I can tell you it doesn't matter which company you work for they all do the same thing and operate under the same protocols. The only real difference is the hourly wage and how they pay you. If you're looking for how it is to work there even the EMTs from care can give...

I used to work in LA county as a paramedic. It's all fire, unless you get to work a stand by as a paramedic you will almost never give medication and never start an iv. Plus you are essentially an EMT with a monitor.

Mother Nature will not listen. I just bought a house myself and am getting ready to move in and it's rained a bit most every day so far.

Joke is poor in taste.

Have you tried calling the state EMS agency who puts out the test. I'm pretty sure they would know how to go about taking it.

Don't think they are interested in giving the whole story. My guess is it's the patient, a lawyer, or the paralegal trying to get the patient out of paying their bill.

You can do either and the NREMT site has all the information on recertification that you need

Not true as some localities don't allow an EMT to check a blood sugar and it also depends on what the call was dispatched as. I think you are confusing the actual procedure which anyone can do and once it becomes medical personal how not everything that laymen can do is allowed by protocol. A...

Look back on this thread and you will find your answer by someone who actually does billing. The user hasn't been on in a while but they have previously answered a similar question.
