Hello all, my friend and I both just got hired as Paramedics in Kern County. I was hired at Hall and start next week, he was hired somewhere else (can't remember the name.) He just called me nervous about an accreditation test he has to take in a week. I haven't heard anything about this test or course I have to take. Any Hall Ambulance employees out there that can fill me in? Thank you in advance.

Study your destinations and triage material for that county, otherwise it's pretty standard medic material. They review the questions you miss and discuss with you the reasoning behind the answers, so as stated before it's really just a review of THEIR protocols. They are extremely nice and welcoming. NO reason to stress because they won't fail you. Doesn't mean you don't need to know your material for your provider. Keep in mind that in Kern county you may be the only medic on scene of some pretty horrific things (MVA's, farming accidents, small plane crashes, MI's in the middle of nowhere, etc) so you better know your stuff. Hope this helps.
Actually Hall is where I learned how to be a good medic. My FTO taught me more than my preceptors, Kern County and Hall specifically made me the medic I am today. If it wasn't 200 miles from my house, and I didn't want a family, I would still be there.
Edit: I would tell any new medic, especially one educated in SoCal, to go to Hall for awhile, unbelievable experiences and you can't find another system like it within a thousand miles(well, at least 500).
