EMT-Basic supersedes a CFR certification.  \n\nEMT-Basic includes all the same training as CFR plus more advanced life saving techniques and includes other training such as transportation.  Both are National Registry Certifiable. \n\nCall Bureau of Emergency Medical Services at (518) 402-0996 to make sure.

You can become a Firefighter without going through Paramedic school. Normally, at an accident, the Fire Dept shows up in case extraction is needed using Hurst tools or to make sure there is no danger of a fire due to gasoline leakage. At least that's how it is here in Florida. Wish ya luck. Honored profession. :)

Sweety, pardon my ignorance but is the USMLE a medical student test or something? Since no one else has answered your question, I'm going to have to apply my legal knowledge as I see it. I'm an ex-cop, not a lawyer but I can tell you that if it is illegal, the truth is, that they probably won't do much about it since the internet is so vast, it's nearly impossible to find all of the sites which post the information. In my view, unethical; yes, illegal; not sure but I'll try to find out, stopping it; no way. I personally like to pass test on my own intelligence but some people just don't care how they do it. It's damned wrong! But, internet policing is not so easy. =) email me with the exact name of the test so I can do some research. rilti8@sbcglobal.net.

I was a volunteer Firefighter/ETT for awhile and my first medical response was an auto accident victim. I went to the hospital to meet the ambulance and help offload the patient and give the EMTs some support. The ambulance arrived, the rear doors opened, and I was stunned at what I saw. But the training kicked in immediately.\nWe transferred the patient to the emergency room and everyone did everything they could. There was no hope.\nI still remember giving chest compressions and looking unto the patient's brown eyes and praying "God help us help this man".\nThe doctor told me to stop compressions and I felt so helpless. It was over.\nI didn't sleep that night. I still see his eyes.\nYou won't forget what you saw. But your neighbor is gone.\nYou're okay, you're safe. Just cherish and appreciate life.

Depending on your local EMS, but most states require you to be 18. You don't need a high school diploma but you will have a hard time getting hired besides the interfacility companys. You can take the EMT course you just can't be certified by your state. Don't be discouraged, being an EMT is a great stepping stone to any career. It shows responsibility, ability to handle stress, dependability, and maturity to be able to handle emergency situations.

National Certification is tough for everyone!  It's a great deal of writing and documenting.  Key to passing...document document document!!  Also find a huge support group to help you!

First you have to become an EMT-basic.  After that, you  can go to medic school.  Check with your local community colleges.  They normally offer EMT and Paramedic classes.  Also, check with your local fire departments.  They may be medics, and they are definetly EMT-B so they should be able to point you towards a school.  EMT school isn't too tough, but you're in for a year to 18 months of difficult school to become a paramedic.  You'll have to study hard and really apply yourself.  Good luck to you!

So the hubby is in the way, huh?\n\n I was an EMT on a rig for 2 years on a 911 provider ambulance in So CAL., it was the best experience of my life. I saw many things that people would up and run from. But it served to make me a mature, ambitious, responsible individual capable of leading a team of EMT's or a corporate meeting.\n\nWhat you do;\n-Wait a lot, for calls and patients\n-physical stuff lifting, pulling, pushing, and so on.\n-assist paramedics\n-radio and computer communication\n-customer service\n-vitals, spiking bags, splinting, backbord and c-spine, setting up EKG's, CPR, moving patients, documenting, oxygen therapy\n\nThe pay sucks, you make your money on OT but it opened a lot of doors for me, currently I work per diem in a hospital as a tech, EHS coordinator. You can't pay to get that type of experience. \n\nEMT is definetly not a life career but it is a stepping stone to bigger and better things. \n \nThere is nothing more satisfying at the end of the day knowing that you saved or impacted somebodys life.

I worked for a 911 provider and there were several EMT's that already had there Bachelors and were trying for PA school. When it comes to hands on experience being an EMT on a 911 rig will look excellent on your application. You come in contact with all sorts of medical conditions, plus depending on your program, training can be as short as 3 weeks. Several of the EMT's I worked with were snapped up by USC, western uni, and other great schools.

Some tips for you:\n\nAsk what type of questions will be on the exam.\n\nPlan ahead. Make a trip to the testing facility a day or two before to get a sense of environment and the location of the testing room. \n\nEat a well-balanced meal before taking the exam. \n\nBring personal identification to the test site. If you know ahead of time that you don't have proper identification, contact the Office of Testing Services before arriving to discuss alternate forms of acceptable identification.\n\nMake a trip to the restroom prior to testing.\n\nListening carefully to the instructions given by the Test Administrator will eliminate most errors in marking answer sheets or misinterpreting important information given out by the Test Administrator.\n\nGood luck!

Do not read first aid.  I got 3 or 4 questions out of 350 from first aid.  Focus on the scientific concepts not on rote memorization.  Every question will make you think not regurgitate.  Take the kaplan course and do at least 10,000 questions.  There are no other books you need.

Good luck on the bar exam!!  I took (and passed, thank goodness) the NC bar this past July.  I didn't take PMBR -- I only took BarBri.  I will tell you, however, the MBE was BY FAR the hardest part for me.\n\nI was afraid that I would be completely burned out if I took the PMBR too.  I had friends that took it and said it was basically three more days of doing practice tests then going over the answers.  My advice is save your money -- just make sure you do plenty of practice questions on your own!

OK, It was a long time ago. The Orange County Sheriffs Dept. in California. About 250 people applied and took the written part. of that only 50 people made it. Then it was off to the physical test. It was a cake walk. About 2 weeks later I had to show for a verbal interview. Before the interview they gave me a stack of paperwork to do. Lots of questions, Too many questions. Questions about drugs, date, time and place. Questions about sex. Date, time, place and who. questions about family and their friends.\n After all that. It came down to the interview. A big cop told me in the interview, That my job history was too short and I didn't look like I wanted to be a peace officer by the fact I never was in the explorer scouts and never took any law classes. (nevermind I just got out of the Marine Corps) Needless to say, I didn't get the job. Now i live a life of crime. lol\n\nReally.......good luck
