Thanks to everyone for their help. I'm still trying to make contact with anyone at our school. I would try my teachers but after class was over, we found out that they weren't certified at the time to teach EMT. So, anyway, hopefully I'll find out something on Monday and get to take the test and pass it this time. As far as the job shortage, I've seen that from my friend that was in my class and passed her test. She's had a few PRN shifts here and there but nothing that counts.
Thanks again for everyone's help!!!! If anyone has any other suggestions, I'll be happy to hear them!! Everyone is always so helpful!!
