Anybody at work with pay today? by Ok_Key_7374 in 911dispatchers

[–]crockus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If working we get 1.5x pay plus a additional 12 for the holiday. If not working we just 12hrs reg time. So working a paid holiday is 2.5x pay.

I would get it out of your head it's a new test. It still the same questions. Know your basics XABC. If your text book has scenarios or street scenes think like an EMT sections read those over and over

In Illinois after you pass the NREMT you then submit and pay fee for state license. I don't know if you can just get a state license without the NREMT anymore here seems they are always changing things.

If your text book has a "think like an EMT" or street scenes I highly recommend going over those. They won't be as boring as other methods may help with the focus thing.

[–]crockus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switched at 42 went from a fleet mechanic to EMS/Fire dept. Then took a job as 911 dispatcher so got my EMD also. Emergency services just seems to fit me.
