    WAKE EMS

    If you're considering NC, MEDIC Mecklenburg EMS is also another place to consider. Wake and MEDIC are always competing for performance numbers.

    Racism among ambulance companies !

    Quit playing the professional victim role. That perception was put in your head by those wanting to create tension, hostility, and hatred amongst others to gain political power, and you're buying it. Be true to yourself and be persistent in achieving your goals. Only your self and a negative...

    Buying an ambulance?

    Does it come with the power gurney? I believe that gurney alone is $10,000. If it does come with it and you don't buy it, I will. Then resell it all separately and make a few bucks? NVM. just read the description. that sucks.

    Can you downgrade to BLS?

    Another good reason fire should only be BLS first response and have ALS ambulance. And LA and OC Fire/medics are lazy. This just creates more unnecessary tension/hatred between Fire and EMS.

    New Medic moving to North Carolina

    I sent you a PM. I only had a few years of Dr's apt runs before medic school. Once I finished medic school I applied here and got hired. Process was rigorous but not impossible. Reciprocity was easy. MEDIC staff took care of it while in the new hire academy.

    California New Minimum Wage

    Nope. They'll all bend over and take it. There's going to thousands of applicants that'll be happy to work for less than that current employee. So companies won't mind the more expensive employee quitting. Ca is way too over saturated. Get out and move to a better system.

    Municipal EMS employment in U.S.

    I was a new hire medic with zero 911 experience. With that being said, I was thrown into the deep end. Luckily with all the support of friends, coworkers and supervisors I survived. If you have previous 911 experience you should be fine. As Remi said, there are a lot of Micro breweries here...
