Did you end up interviewing with American in Fresno?

Not to mention that no where in CA uses waveform Capno. At least not any where that I have looked. I will definitely avoid AMR like the plague if I'm relocating. Already work for them and it's all the same BS no matter where you're at.

Are you kidding me?! $12 hourly rate for 12's. Wow that sounds miserable. I'm at almost $17 for 12 hour rates. Ugh idk if I could do that at all. Yeah I talked to the HR lady (isn't helpful on any level btw) and even called the HR Director with the same answer, "You have to have the CA license...

My app got declined due to not having a CA license. So now I am currently going through the red tape. @Angel let me know what the interview is like please. Maybe I can catch the next hiring process. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the info on the south side! Imperial looks pretty prosperous. Any one here know the starting pay at American in Fresno/Kings for Medic?

Also, capnography. Is there only use of colormetric Capno for intubation confirmation? Or is there waveform available for all the other excellent applications?

So you work for American but completely different operations? I'm actually really curious about those areas. What's the schedules like? 12's, 48's? Average transport times? Call acuity? Morale with every one in those ops? Of course pay? I'll probably have more questions later. Thanks!

If I had to guess I would anticipate around fall time. That seems to be a typical hiring process time. Twice a year, once every 6 months maybe.

Haha yes! Definitely a big difference going from CO to CA. But who in EMS would you say is in their right mind?

Not going to harp on the programs that I did not attend. But from when I looked at their pass rate stats, accreditation, and personal opinion of the medics that came out of those 2 programs around fresno (not all the graduates) seemed to me that something was wrong with faculty or method of...

@ Angel. Any idea when American will start a round of hiring?

Bakersfield is a little far for my possible commute. It seems like Riggs hires often. Kind of a bad sign to me for their attrition rate. Is American a renowned service for them to only hire internally? I've looked at the Medic programs in that area a few years ago and was not impressed...

So I take it they will probably hire again in another 6 months or so? I've been reading what small amount of info I can acquire about American. They have a specialized rescue team. That is definitely a perk to be employed there and the fact they have their own flights. From my understanding...

Hey all! If any one has info on any good prospects of EMS agencies to work for in Central California, I want to hear what you have to provide! I am a medic in CO and looking to possibly move back home. I've been looking at American in Fresno, Riggs in Merced, and Pistoresi in Madera. Any...
