  1. Is this for your EMT Basic level? Every question on the Registry can be answered correctly using your patient assessments either Trauma or Medical and using the basic knowledge and termonolgy. What's the first thing you do when you arrive on scene? Scene Safety, BSI, # of patients . . . when you read the questions, what is the correct answer that happens first in your assessment? Do the answers come from the Scene Size Up, do they refer to your initial assessment? If you don't have your assessments solidified in your mind frontwards and backwards you will not pass this test. Was your curriculum AHA 2010 compliant? If not, you need to take a look at that as well.

  2. I worked for the ski resorts in Colorado in Summit County for 5 years, it's not the easiest job that's for sure, you tend to see the ugly side of people a lot and being an employee of the resort it self, you need to be able to smile and nod, for there, the customer is ALWAYS right. Every penny made depends in large part to word of mouth for these guys. Colorado kinda speaks for itself, but there was some bad publicity with the corporate owners of Keystone/A-Basin and it hurt them bad. They don't have customers, you don't have a job.

    If you can get past that, it's an absolutley amazing place to be and get to work, how many get to wake up and head to the mountain for work? Are you kidding me? Getting to ski fresh powder all season for free is another good point! And if you're really lucky, you get to meet some really amazing people that make up for the crappy ones! We had a large population of drunk and/or hung over peeps, with too much money and a touch of altitude sickness, probably not the best combination!

    Basically it comes down to your customer service skills and your attitude I guess. I am very lucky to have worked the ski resorts, and I also knew when it was time to leave and grow up-ish :)

    Good Luck!
