Hello Guys,
I want to buy ambulance stretchers and will pay for used but functioning ambulance stretchers. Preferably stryker power pro xt, mx-pro, stryker stair chairs and Ferno Power and manual stretchers. All weight capacity will be bought from 500lb to 700lb. Call or text me at anytime 832/598/42O4. Regardless of location in the country I can organize pick up. Thanks, Oscar
Hey there
Thank you so much for your reply to my post about visiting from Australia. My partner and I would be honoured to come visit you guys in Pennsylvania. We’re happy to hire a car and drive over.
We are in NY from 26th November to 9th December.
Let me know if you need further details and when you would like us to visit.
Again, thank you! It’s really appreciated

Anyone else have to wait for their Initial Ambulance license to be reviewed at the DMV headquarters?? How long did you have to wait to hear a response? If you’re guessing…the answer is yes I live in CA🥹😂

Nope, my state (like most of the others) didn't require such asinine things
Feeling discouraged…

Applied for my Ambulance Cert passed with flying colors…wasn’t issued a temporary because I checked yes on one of the boxes. My license was suspended last year because I failed a knowledge/Skills test but took it again and passed and my license was reinstated, but now they are saying my previous suspension needs to be reviewed before they approve. anyone else run into this issue?

Other than that one Suspension my driving record is clean. No citations ever, no convictions, never even been in a car accident before, any words of encouragement or advice would be greatly appreciated🙏🏾
Hi Chrls,

I have a couple questions if you don’t mind? I just graduated paramedic school and I am interested in a flight officer position with CHP, what is the timeline looking like right now? I understand you need to complete the academy then 2 years as a road officer, is their current openings for officers that have their paramedic? What is the schedule for a flight officer? 12/42?

Thank-you,
Trent

Sorry for the delay, I haven’t logged in for awhile.

There are several flight officer/medic openings currently but there are also lots of patrol positions open too. The department prioritizes patrol spots over flying so the air program is pretty low staffing wise until the patrol side gets built back up.

We have 8 air bases and they work 4/10’s or a 9/80.

No worries thanks for the response chrls,
I get that the department prioritizes patrol positions as that is the backbone of the dept. Which air bases normally take the new flight officers? Also do protocols go off of what county your airbase is located in?

There aren’t openings frequently enough for one base to get noticeably more new people than others.

Yes, our protocols are from the county we’re based in. Personally I work off Riverside County protocols even if we respond to neighboring counties.
Hi, I saw your post form 2017 re: HCPC. I'm moving back to the UK having been a paramedic in the US for three years. I was wondering if you still had your application packet as an example of what they're looking for, particularly the details I will need to provide of my education. Any help you can provide would be really appreciated. **email address removed**
Hi there! I'm currently a medic in SC and will be moving to PA for school. I've seen your other posts helping others out with gaining reciprocity, and I have some questions on what exactly I need to do. Could you send me a DM please? Thanks

Hello, All - I’m coming up on 67, originally from Delaware, moved to Idaho 2018, became involved in rural Ambulance & Fire Dept’s - now running with Salmon River Rural FD. Initially in an EMT class & running on ambulance as a student, but short of taking exam. Recently back to studying EMT manual in prep for exam. Also trained in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), as well as Active Shooter Response.
So I get a lot of profile posts here (and I barely check this btw) asking about McCormick hiring process. I'd love to help, but it's been 6 years since I was hired (Dec '16)(Plus I was only there for 1½ year until leaving in July '17 for my current FD job) There's been tons of changes (including the company itself being bought so management side is different). I really don't have any current useful info, sorry.
Hi Jim, my name is Kyle and I just applied to McCormick Ambulance as an EMT and I was just wondering how the hiring process really is.
How is the interview? And how long (how many hours) is the 5-day orientation? Do you know on what day and time the orientation starts of the week? Thank you so much in advance!

I'm honestly not too sure. Keep in mind it's been like 6 years since I was hired by McCormick (and 4+ years since I left), and I know things have changed a lot in the interim. I know when I got hired there was a two day interview process, and then the job offer and Orientation were all within a couple weeks. I honestly do not recall the schedule, but if hired they'll tell you exactly when and where you need to be.

But like I said, in the years since I left, there's been changes, the company was actually purchased by AMR's parent so a bunch of stuff changed on the management side, plus they gained new areas (Santa Monica) and the whole pandemic has hit staffing hard, so I imagine the entire hiring process has likely changed from what I went through, so I really cannot give any useful information on what it looks like nowadays

No worries! I appreciate your help and I understand that a lot could've happened in the past years. Have a good one.
