Ohio reciprocity Questions!
I(M22) will be moving to Ohio in a couple of months, but I will only be there for 6-7 months, and im really worried I screwed up my chances of being able to work in ohio.
I'm confused about the process and how long it would take on average. Somewhere I read, says it can take up to around 6 months to finish the process. And I've read from other people, that you need quite a bit of extra trainings. I am 100000% willing to take those classes and tests, but im so worried I won't be able to finish them in time.
I've also read on a few stations websites that they are fire¶medic, and some say they only have ALS units. Where I work, we have two EMTs/unit, and ALS drives their separate trucks. Does ohio not do BLS?? I know quite a few states do 1 BLS & 1 ALS per truck, so how does ohio do it?
The station i currently work for is known as the busiest and one of the best stations in the state. We have 4 BLS units at one station, and 1 BLS at another. Im worried the stations around me in ohio won't be busy. I really don't want to sit on my ass all day and waste all the work I put into at my home station.
And if anyone reading this lives in ohio or has worked in EMS in ohio, please lmk how it is and how the hospitals are, and any tips or advice?
