Hi all. Have an interview this Friday with a 911 hospital based EMS. I'm extremely nervous. With all honest, only have about 7/8 months in EMS & that was dealing w/transport EMS & that ended about May / June 2012. So basically been out of the field for about 7 months, give or take. So as I'm...

Morning all. Just updating my resume & I would like to include my current EMT work info. Can anyone send me a sample of what it would look like on a resume format. Thanks!

I was at a diner in NJ the other day & I saw another car with a plaque on the front windshield that was basically the NJ EMT patch. The plaque was basically the same one that police officers & their families have on their front windshields. Does anyone know anything about this or where this...

Hi. I passed the NYS EMTB test in August 2010. From Aug to late 2010, I contacted the FDNY to register for their EMT class. I did register, however I have not heard back from them or received anything in the mail. A friend of mine who is already a FDNY EMT told me if I remember correctly, that I...

Being a somewhat new EMT, the answer to this question to me is totally unknown but definitely curious about the answer. How come a EMT salary is so low? I do understand that depending where you're working at, there may be a good amount of down time but on the other hand, you are to a...

WOW! Seems very hard but I'm looking for salaried EMS positions in NJ around the Kearny, Jersey City, Newark, Hoboken area & the majority of listings I found online are mostly for volunteer agencies. So far I just applied for Linden EMS & Life Streams Transport. I did a post regarding this a...

Does Blackberry have any EMT apps? I'm searching & can't find anything.

Does anyone know if their still in operation or anything to that nature? I live around the corner from them & I rarely see them open. Maybe once or twice a month I might see the ambulance driving around & maybe on a full moon night I might actually hear there sirens go off but that doesn't mean...

With 2 volly's & I scheduled myself for maybe about 6/7 maybe 8 shifts already and so far 3 of those shifts were cancelled due to no other members signing up. Both companies need 4 people on a bus: Driver, Chief, 1 EMT-B & 1 EMT-B in training (forgot the term they use). This really blows. I have...

Went to a training for a volly company this w/e & we were told that this particular company has a member fee each year. The fee is not much but I'm just wondering is this common? Being a new EMT, I'm not familiar w/how volly companies work. Just struk me wierd. We don't get paid but yet we have...

I'm a new EMT that currently works a part time job & I just got accepted to work for 1 volunteer service that requires about 16 hours a month. Tonight I'm going to another volunteer service orientation to see if I could join as a new member. I also have 1 other volunteer company that I'm REALLY...

WHOA! I was told I needed to do these course to gain more points when the time comes for the FDNY to call & they seem pretty confusing. I was told to do: ICS 100 ICS 200 ICS 700 ICS 800 HAZMAT WMD So far, I did ICS 100, not really concentrating too much & I failed it. The...

I'm a little confused w/certain licenses you need to get employment as an EMT. When I was in class, we were told that we don't need a CDL driver's license. But, I contacted a hospital EMT contact & he told me that their looking for someone w/a CEVO 3 license. I'm not sure what it is or what to...

I'm a new EMT on the scene & I'm actually starting w/a volunteer agency in mid-October & I was just curious as to what supplies I might need. I know boots I need & my stethoscope I already have. But other than those 2 items, I'm not too sure if I would need anything. I was told that the supplies...
