Does she have a black eye?

[MrGreenvision]

Just curious, but can a ex-felon become an EMT in California?

[veganspaz]

I think that they do background checks. I know that Texas looks for any criminal charges. Not sure how California does that.

if its been over 7 years i think you can...

[jmm121884]

um. no. you dont need high school or college. you need a drivers license only.

[SicSkatez]

@jmm121884 to be the driver. how about the actual paramedics?

[jmm121884]

paramedics dont need to finish high school either. you just need to be at least 18 and goto Medic School as far as I know... About a year program. Some community colleges you can get an associates degree I believe in 2 years to be a medic,and that would require a ged or high school diploma.

[SicSkatez]

hmm actually i think its different here in california...a ged or high school diploma is required =/ then medical school THEN paramedic....oh well..

[jmm121884]

Thats a good thing in california. I understand in the west that training to be an emt is different. However medical school is to become a physician. You probably meant, EMT school then paramedic school.

[SicSkatez]

yeah your right lol EMT then paramedic school...

thanks though.

[deezfatnutz]

the driver is also a EMT and to be a paramedic you have to have over 1000 hours of class work
