Good deal. How's the written and interview for a medic?

I have been looking at that website; keeping an eye on postings. I'll be coming back to SoCal in the next month, and Im trying to feel out whether or not AMR will still have medic spots. My bills won't be too happy if I'm an unemployed medic back home in SoCal, hahaha. Might end up having to do...

Are the inland counties for AMR still looking for medics or are they slowing down with the hiring? Any info would be great!

Ive read the articles and it seems that Nov. 1st will be the first day for this change. Currently, Paramedics Plus is contracted with EMSA. When AMR takes over, is this just on the business end or will they do a full sweep of re-lettering the trucks, uniforms, policies, etc...to reflect that of...

Central EMS runs 911 and IFT in the city of Fayetville and the surrounding county. Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville all run an ALS Fire Departmennt, so you have to be hired by them to run on there rescues as a Fire/Medic. Great Departments by the way. Furhter south of NWA you have...

Exactly, signs of Herniation. No where did I say that I would wait and not do anything until I saw these signs. These are things that Im going to be expecting my pt to demonstrate while in my presence if im going down a TBI road with a significant head bleed. If, in fact, you do have those late...

I too work in the rural, with three trauma centers and a burn center about 30-40mins via helo, 2.5 by ground. For your particular call, I would have launched an aircraft, and rolled a second ambulance. All of this after recieving the first dispatch tone. Our service has a great working...

No one is a medic in AZ with some info? Looking at a possible move so any info would be great.

Anyone work for PMT/Southwest or in the Phoenix area that can shed some light on Paramedic opportunities. I understand that PFD runs there own ambulance, but how is the working environment with PMT/Southwest? Good coverage areas, shifts available (12hr, 24hr), protocols, relationship with area...

My thoughts exactly. This was a real good RSI pt.

Since when is CPAP not an ALS treatment or protocol since this doesnt seem like a medic assesment to you? Maybe the OP is a new medic and doesn't have the experience or is just getting used to a certain style of assessing there patients. Every medic has to start somewhere, give em a little credit.

With her not liking the NRB, CPAP would do no good. In our service, she would have bought herself a tube and nice ride in with a dx of chf exacerbation.

What is over the line for you? I'm sure most of us will put up with a lot from our partners, but what's that one thing that you just can't

Yikes.

Do you guys have RSI protocol? Judging by your med list, im guessing not.
