I was selected for an interview with this company. Does anyone know anything about them? I know they do non-emergent transport like IFT and dialysis and whatnot but is this a decent company to work for? Do they pay EMT's a fair wage?
Wow thank you for the excellent information. I wasn't even aware that I could become an AO. My plan is to enroll in a local college that has some fire tech classes, and then sends me to get my fire 1. I really want to get my medic as well. I'm all in I just am trying to find a job where I can...
That is appreciated... I have experience along with letters of recognition for patient care/bedside manner, and I will also be leaving my company I'm currently working for with a letter of recommendation, so I'm hoping that helps me out.
I appreciate that very much, most likely I will be going to Anaheim. I am going to visit in a couple of months to hopefully land something or make a good impression..
Well I would be willing to get my medic ahead of time, I have looked into it a bit. Although, when I spoke to someone at a college in the area about their accelerated medic program they informed me that it was mainly fire fighters being put in it via their departments. For the time being my main...
I'm an EMT with about 1 1/2 years of experience (Private transport emergent/non emergent) and I'm about to relocate at the end of the year to Southern California. I keep reading horror stories of people not able to find work for months, and it's really worrying me. My goal ultimately is to get...
JHey everybody!
Another question for everyone. I've been researching potential employers in the area I'm trying to move to (Southern / Mid Cal) next year, and I found CARE ambulance. I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with them and if they have any advice for the interview/hiring...
I agree 100 percent. Especially where I am we go into some VERY rural areas and take patients back to some pretty dilapidated homes. When you can literally feel the floor flexing beneath you with your partner, your stretcher with PT loaded, and yourself it's rather unsettling.
I love the...
I gotcha. I mean kind of more in aspect of the work / workload / hours etc. I know a lot of departments are 24/48. I just want to be as prepared as I am able to before I start applying for positions.
So... I have had my EMT now for 6 months, and I have been working for a private for almost 1 year now (I started off as a driver, yes I was literally an ambulance driver...). My question basically is how easy/difficult is it to go from IFT to 911? My ultimate goal is to get my paramedic and go...
Thanks everyone for the responses. This is something I really want to do. Even if the odds are against me. There's a reason I got my certification and part of that reason is to return to my home. I appreciate the information. Although is there anybody on here who has transferred their nremt to...
I don't really consider it the wrong coast.. I'm currently on the other one, and it's not very wonderful either. But I thank you for the information and your answer.
