Also just so you know, AMR's Sutter Health Division has a union agreement to flow qualified EMT's to 911 prior to advertising to the public. Eligible after you're off probation. So that's a good way to 'back door' your way into 911. Yes it's BLS/CCT for 6 months but it's new equipment and...

I am taking the test tomorrow at 11:30 am, anyone else ?

Follow their Facebook page. It'll show you every time they graduate an academy.

For what it's worth, I had two misdemeanor charges dismissed/expunged via 1203.4 in California. I used an attorney and paid $1500. But it was well worth it when it came to the NREMT and California State certification. I had no issues what so ever. I can also legally say I've never been convicted...

If your in California, we have an Ambulance Strike Team Leader certification from CAEMSA you can obtain.

This is a troll post right?

$3000 for a BASIC class? If you paid that much and can't pass one the first two tries you may consider seeking a refund.

I should mention a lot of this is going to be dictated by the local CBA.

This is the exact same model as Northern California.

I wouldn't tell them where your going. Hopefully you didn't sign a non-compete, and then go try to work for the company with the contract they just lost. May find yourself in court.

Anything to help boost the resume is great. I've found, at least for a good talking point in interviews is my, American Heart Association BLS CPR/AED Instructor card. Was fairly easy to get, two day class here in California (not sure about where you are) and it brings in some cash on the side.

I'm sure as long as you're legally able to work as an EMT and hold the qualifications you could do that. ha ha. Never really thought about it. It IS in the contract verbiage that we get cycled into 911 before public announcements, so there is that. From what I've seen the line crew's work pretty...

Ah, I didn't realize you were a medic. Unfortunately I don't believe the Sutter Division will be utilizing medics as it's mostly just BLS and CCT. I'm of course not the official word on that, I'm simply a new hire down at the bottom. Hope this helped.

I would definitely re apply under the Sutter division. I too applied for several positions previously and did not hear back, and was still selected for this position.

American Medical Response is hiring at last count, 200 EMT's and a good number of RN's (with $1000 hiring bonus) in the Northern California area for a new Sutter contract they have acquired. This is a great 'foot in the door' for most people to get on board with a nationally recognized company...
