Thank you very much for this!

No, I’m not. Is this a title at your hospitals, or...?

What are some community resources you have for your patients in your area? I am working with a team at my agency to create a list for our employees on community resources we can refer our patients to when necessary, and I figured I would ask for other ideas for places to look. No idea is too...

FDNY also depends on what bus you are on.

Oh I know. I came from busier so this is cake for me, but some of my coworkers are less than pleased with the consistent increase in call volume of 3-4% every year

So our SSM is modified Bc we don't reassign every unit based on dispatch. Just Bc a call goes out, we don't ALL move based on system status recommendations. It's a bit hard to explain, but you can also visit the area and schedule a ride along and have an opportunity to see inside our dispatch...

I have a buddy from NY who is over at wake. I don't think he is on the forums but can put you in touch if you'd like.

Ok, so now that I'm awake and have coffee: CLT is a great area with a lot to do and is located nicely between the beach and the mountains, like you said. We have a decent pension (I believe it's a 2/3 but don't quote me) same insurance offerings as most city employees (I believe the high...

Meck is awesome. I'm here, I can go into more detail later, but we are 1/10 size of fdny but just as busy. Lvl 1 trauma center here. Great compensation. More to come soon.

Does anyone have any first (or even second) hand experience with the flavor?

MEDIC requires fisdap recently (idr if it's 6 mos or a year) you can take it on site or online (fee, but reimbursed if/when hired) if you need to take it. There's a physical along with a panel interview, medical interview and a trauma scenario. Academies run every 1 to 2 months. Plus size is...

I have a friend who works at Grady (I believe) sounds like a solid place to work. MEDIC is extremely supportive of its employees and has a medical director who is active without being punitive. For the most part, our protocols are fairly progressive, and as a new employee you would be partnered...

I recently relocated to Charlotte (1yr ago) and am so happy with it. I work for MEDIC, which is the ems agency in mecklenburg county. It has been a great move for us. I love the area and I can honestly say it's one of the best places I work. Feel free to reach out with any questions! And good...

I would also add: don't be afraid of this conversation (but still be tactful!) as these patients or families have made the decision for end of life care, they know what it means. I usually ask ' Do you have any advanced directives?' If they look at me sideways, I follow up with 'If your heart...
