Hey Y'all,
So I am currently submitting applications as a part-time IFT Medic in the Los Angeles area but I am trying to get a little more info on some of the companies. I know there have been threads like this before but I am hoping to get a little more current info on medic positions with them and hopefully spark some discussion.
I understand that PRN and Bowers are among the top in LA but what exactly is an ALS shift like with them? Almost all ESRD runs/discharges to SNFs with a few cardiac monitoring transfers in between? Do they ever get any ALS transfers such as STEMIs (the only reason I ask is because I hear they have contracts with major facilities)? Does Liberty and or Americare give either of them a run for their money?
Apps have been sent in to Bowers and McCormick and have not heard anything in over a month even though it says they are both hiring medics... This is probably just me being ignorant in the way EMS hiring works in SoCal...
Also, has anyone else noticed some medic positions on craigslist that look a lot like that gorilla in Orange County with the blue and white units? I know they are looking to start an LA ALS IFT service but have not seen anything on their site... Anyone wanna throw their 2 cents in on this one?
I would appreciate any help or guidance anyone could give!
Thanks!
