There are 2 paths to becoming a paramedic :(You must have basic good education, English, Maths and a science pref.)\n\n1. Go to university and take a four year course in paramedical science.\n\n2.You can start off as an Emergency ambulance technician where you will be trained to deal with emergencies resuscitation etc.   You have to work at this for two years then you can apply for paramedical training.  If you are selected then the ambulance service trains you.\n\nIt is an advantage if you have taken a first aid certificate.\n\nHope this helps.

(Edit: Oops! Gave bad info..glad I double checked. It isn't the number of stations, but the number of times they call for backup. Ie: The situation is getting out of hand and/or is worse than expected.)\n\n"What is a multi-alarm fire? As in,"The fire was 3 alarms."\n\nIn simple terms it is how many times the fire commander, on the scene, has called for help.\nWhen a citizen reports a structure fire a predetermined response of firefighters and equipment is sent. This is usually something like: 3 Fire engines, a truck or two, and a battalion chief. Some cities will also send an MICU on the first alarm.\n\nIf the commander on the scene determines that more resources are needed he may call for a second alarm. This provides another predetermined response. This is usually slightly less than the "First Alarm". It might be two engines and a truck. Often a second Battalion chief is sent along with a district or assistant chief. Certain other support vehicles also might automatically be sent on the second alarm. Examples might be an R&R or Air filling vehicle. Subsequent alarms will get a similar response.\n\nA scene commander can special order any type or number of equipment. He might call for another truck or just for air. He might ask for several pumpers to fight a grass fire. It is not uncommon for four engines to be fighting the same brush fire. This does not constitute even a first alarm unless he stated, for some reason, that he wanted a first alarm response."

I absolutely LOVE my job.  I'm a 911 dispatcher.  I take calls all day (or night) long.  I save at LEAST one life per week.  There's just something about going home after a shift and knowing the kinds of things I've accomplished that make me feel terrific!  Besides that, can't beat the fact that I'm sitting here typing this out from work, as we can do anything we want when there's not an active call!

They are all different. Just depends. Some of them call the same day, some the next week.

If there were a large number of Applicants, of whom several had not 'jumped the gun' as you put it, then you will not get the second call.\nBut, if there were only a few Applicants, and you had answered the rest of the Questions very well, you still stand a fair chance : If you get called, please do NOT raise the topic of this goof-up on your own - and only if [and when] they raise a query about it, answer honestly, that you had been 'too nervous'.\nBest of Luck !

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.

Yes- I witnessed a pedestrian get hit by a car - people just stared at me for a minute - I knew first aid so I was barking orders for someone to PLEASE call 9-1-1.  Finally someone re-focused and rad to a nearby plaza to call.  Luckily an off duty paramedic drove by and stopped to take over.  I was relieved because the man appeared to be going into shock on me and I wasn't confident that I really knew what I was doing!

To memory  various emergency number is not easy for many people. So it is the good thing that there is one dial number.

When you get a phone call?

I'm not sure that there is a legal limit as to how many times a day creditors can call you, however, I used to work at Verizon. What I know is that they aren't "technically" allowed to call you before 9:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. and supposedly not on Sundays. My experience with my Mortgage company has been totally different. They've called me on Sunday mornings before 9:00 a.m. before. If I'm one day late with my payment, they call me all day long. I've threatened reporting them, but they don't care. So now, I just answer my phone with my business name, and if I'm a little late with a payment, they think they have the wrong number. When they ask for me, I just tell them that "this is a business, and I don't know who 'she' is." That helps alot, trust me! I think if we all start reporting these people, they just might start adhering to the regulations. One other thing that is good to know, if your friend has a residential line, there is an 800# you can call to be put on the national "Do Not Call" list. Unfortunately, bill collectors have rights to call, but they aren't supposed to go outside of their boundaries to do so. Business line customers can't get on the list, however, because they are at an advantage to advertise any time they make a call, because of the caller-id feature.\n\nI don't know why the times showed up as *, but the the times are nine o'clock.

the times differ from state to state\nEMT basic (reqired) 3 months\nEMT - Advanced (not reqired) 3 months\nEMT - Paramedic (depending on the program) 9-12 months.\n\nI personaly recomend that you work as an EMT-basic for at least a year before you take your paramedics.\n\nYes many comunity colleges offer paramedic programs.  Also some hospitals.
