Away with the national registry

[JPINFV]

Nope, Orange County simply requires a copy of your course completion sheet, national registry card, drivers license, live scan, and a completed medical examiner's physical [green DOT card]. No immunizations or tests outside of that.

Damn, you're getting screwed, big time. Move down to OC. Same DMV BS and same DOT Card BS, but the cert is ~$60 (~$30 each for your EMT-B cert and attendant license) and you only need 1 livescan. Plus you can get it as a 2 year cert as well as before you're employed. Most of the companies down here also start at/above $10/hr (Care, Pacific, Lynch, at least. Doctor's has terrible pay though).

edit: Hell, CC students get free TB tests? Even UCI Student Health charged like $10 for that. (TB tests aren't required in OC though)

I just got my OC certs, $80 for 2 year (40 for 1 year) for the EMT-B cert, $35 for ambulance, however they waive the $35 if you get them both done at the same time
