Wake County EMS Interview
I just received an invitation to interview and test with WCEMS in Raleigh, NC. I can't believe I was even selected! Over the past six months I've researched their philosophy and read everything I could find ever since I first discovered it while on this site. I waited a long time and finally applied literally right after I walked across the stage and finished paramedic school back in August. I didn't think I had a chance, especially from being out of state. Anyway, it's amazing to see how one county conducts their EMS as apposed to an entire state (my state, Florida). Now to prepare. Any tips?

doc,
You are also forgetting the relative call volumes and the effect they have. Law enforcement is the busiest function (crime fighting) so the cops have the least time to devote to other, non-crime-fighting functions.
That makes it intutively o...
