Has anyone had the opportunity to volunteer/work down in Richmond, VA?
I was planning to start volunteering either this month or next at West End Volunteer Rescue Squad, and was wondering if anyone could tell me what it was/is like.
I don't know if the rules for the VA state exam practicals differ from the NREMT or other states...

I passed everything but the Medical station because I didn't say...
I'm a little confused about the NREMT and the state exams.
Why don't all EMTs have take the NREMT? I just took the VA state exam, so does that mean I have to take another state's exam if I wanted to move? Does taking the NREMT exempt you from taking state exams?

Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the right section of the forum to post this question or if this is a silly question...
If get a call and you're driving the ambulance to the location, but you accidentally took a wrong turn and it took you some time to get back on track, but with that time...

Thanks
