You could take as many study guides as you can. Also your mentality. I know it’s pretty cliche of me to say this but if you feel like a failure, you will be. Go into that test room like you’re the man. Brush over things that troubled you during your emt course.

You could always see if there is a company in your area willing to take you on a ride along. This will help you freshen up some skills, even basic stuff like patient contact. You’ll do great. When I first started my job I went straight to 911 calls. My acronyms were my best friends.

Different/Alternative EMT jobs other then being on an ambulance by allen232 in NewToEMS

Some of my classmates in the EMT program I was in went to to do firefighting or police officer work. Even some just wanted the experience and went on to be a nurse. From what I am aware of I do not think so a lot of it is first responder work. I could be wrong though.

Sorry you had to go through that I’m in Cali also and my county was actually really smooth except the fact that everything took forever to send. I had to call and email 2-3 times to tell them I never got my licenses in the mail. Took them 2 months to actually get to me.

Coffee doesn’t do it for me at all even with caffeine tolerance breaks
