MedicWest - Pre-employment Skills Test

[TreySpooner65]

I was invited to a skills test for MedicWest (North Las Vegas).

Is there anything I should prepare for?

They mentioned of course an exam, scenarios and a "mega code."

I'm not familiar with a mega code, I
Imagine it's just what it sounds like?

CPR/AED would be a BLS megacode

Oh. That sounds much more intimidating than it actually is. Thanks haha

I got my start at MedicWest, great place that I'm looking to go back to. IIRC, they cover the east side of the Las Vegas Valley and I-15 north until the edge of Clark County, as well as a lot of the special events and such. Busy 911 system, EMSC-owned so there's mobility within the AMR network, and professional management. Employees are mostly great with a few not-so-great, trucks were good, protocols were pretty awesome.

If any of y'all from Management are watching, I'm OK with a rehire lol.

No worries. Even ALS megacodes aren't that tough. Just my opinion though. Good luck on your test! If you have any questions about NV EMS shoot me a pm. Clark county is separate from Nevada so I'll try to help as much as I can.

So the megacode portion is just CPR/AED right? I have a testing date scheduled with MedicWest coming up, and they mentioned skills as well. Are those just NREMT skills, like OPA/ NPA, splinting, ect...?

So I have a test coming up here for paramedic. What should I expect and what are some specifics they are looking for? (Of at least you can share).

What would you study material.wise? I hear Brady books but my school did use them so I was wondering if protocols would suffice.

Any advise also due to coming from bay area. I will relocate of hired. I would love to work at medic west!
