1. Expected 2. What I feared Wonder if anyone does 24, 48, or 96 hour shifts in South Carolina. Currently run 48/96.

Hello, I'm a Critical Care Paramedic working on a Maternal-Fetal truck here in Texas and I might be moving to South Carolina in the future and I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on South Carolina EMS and employment prospects? Preferably IFT, Critical Care, and possibly Flight as...

Now available! The Pediatric and Neonatal Book for Critical Care Paramedics will help critical care/flight paramedics build their pediatric and neonatal knowledge while also serving as a reference text for the experienced provider. Providing an extensive series of topics that are broken down...

That's unfortunate. There's gotta be a high volume CCT company somewhere in Texas.

Actually, why I'm here, I know I asked about Allegiance but I'm open to other suggestions for CCT work. I love CCT. I live for it. I've got five years high volume CCT exp (including IABP w/o a hand holding RN aboard) plus a year of Flight exp plus FP-C, CCP-C, C-NPT, and PNCCT.

As the thread title says I'm just wondering if anyone out there has worked for them or knows someone who does?

Anyone from Texas know the law or have a link to it that basically states an EMT's responsibility "to act" while on duty, example being witnessing an accident while responding to a call. I've looked on the DOH website but can't find it. Thank you in advance.

Having worked as a Flight Medic I can say it seemed 75% of the time was PR, 15% of the time doing educational material, and 10% was actual flights. I miss the job, yes, but I don't miss where I was. If you get into a program make sure you're getting into a good one with a good crew/base (and...

Former Flight Medic/Critical Care Paramedic currently working/living in San Antonio as a Paramedic 72 hours a week (yes, good pay) but looking to move elsewhere for a change (though not above Austin area). I keep hearing Acadian and AMR are limiting work hours to 36 to 40 with little to 0 chance...

You happen to be looking for Paramedics?

Thanks for advice. Everyone was like "use Kickstarter!" and I had even contributed to a project on there so I went with it.

Greetings, Everyone! On these forums my name is RiderMedic but my real name is Scott Sturm and I've been in EMS since 2001 with the last 11 years as a Paramedic. I've done both ground and flight critical care transports during my years in Pittsburgh, New York, and now my current home, Texas...

Heh. I went to Acadian but I couldn't give them my word to two years and I also mentioned the "N" word -- nursing. Oops. I do miss CCT work. I guess the sooner I get my ADN the sooner I can get into the ICU.

I was recently hired by another company but have been asked to test and interview for a CCT spot so I'm trying to gauge whether or not it would be worthwhile as compared to my current company.

Just wondering if anyone had an info on or were currently working as a CCT Paramedic for AMR in Texas and could give some info on pay, call volume and quality, protocols, equipment used, etc. Thanks in advance. Oh, and I keep getting hearing AMR doesn't like employees working over 36 hours...
