Renewing PALS in Texas through Air Evac? like $30. Doing it here in California? $205. Exact same classroom based renewal class too. Wow. Anybody know anywhere in northern CA that does it cheaper? I've already paid for PALS but my ACLS is coming up... in other news, I need a leaf blower and...

Hey everyone! I did search through the archives but most of the posts were 10+ years old, referring to EMT-B jobs only, or devolved into bickering about Orange County. :) Or in some cases, the companies mentioned simply do not exist anymore. How is the Sacramento Area these days? Who's hiring...

In your case: I'd drop by a field office and just ask them. There does not seem to be a way to contact them, and many departments are working remotely anyway. I know that people do search for "California Ambulance Driver Certificate" or something, and DMV has changed their website so a lot of...

Long story summed up: I moved to TX in 08. life happened. in early 19 I reconnected with someone I've known for years. lotsa love happened. she moved to TX to be with me. She had a good job lined up. Moved to TX. 'Rona happened. Job said "lol, we're cutting everyones hours, and your full time...

Great. I'm back in California and I've been gone too long so I can't just renew my old one. So I have to jump through all the California specific hoops yet again. Not looking forward to this. :/

I hope so. I applied this time around. Last time was in TX and I got conflicting emails back - one saying I didn't include my license (which was clearly visible right there in the app) and another saying "you've been forwarded to the hiring manager." That was a few years ago now. Now I'm back...

" years of experience(3 minimum)," This number keeps going up all the time. :/

I'm a current Allegiance employee. Been pretty happy, but we have a lot of the same complaints that people do about most services. Allegiance has a few CCT crews, but like most of the services in the area (Sacred Cross isn't a high volume CCT service either) the volume isn't all that high. I...

Most of the threads about it are well over a year old, so I'm looking for current information. Seems that they're recruiting again. Anyone recently gone through with them? What's their process like? Any idea on pay rates? Protocols? I understand that folks still live out on the local economy...

This is something I was curious about as well, but I'm sure that it requires more experience than I have. Hmm...

Yep. I have TX and NV. It's the drivers license thing that is an issue, though. Can't work anything except special events in the other state because I only have a TX drivers license. So stupid.

> What's it like to take the program? Awesome. There's a LOT of homework, though. Some of it can take you many more hours than you would have thought it would. It's worth it. But it's on YOUR time, not some college semester time. If you want to take an extra two weeks and learn a crazy amount...

Sorry for the long delay. I was pretty busy with stuff. They were pretty easy. There's 2-3 people handling it, and it can take a while to get things arranged unless you're flexible. A LOT more students have been coming in to Texas to do theirs, and there are only so many slots for students in a...

Yeah, I've been here for a long time.

^^^^ what that Dank guy said is accurate. Although there's a base pay + shift differential. They acquired many operational areas of Guardian EMS, which did have some older equipment, but the maintenance staff has improved a lot. As in, you can actually take a truck with an issue into the...

CareFlite. Allegiance. AMR. Acadian. Those are the bigger ones. Medstar is in the Fort Worth area, but they haven't been hiring Basics in a while. There's a couple smaller services still floating around, but be prepared for the dialysis totes and daily renal roundup patients. Nobody escapes the...

This was my 9th year up there and it was a great time. The rain on early Monday made things interesting to say the least, but it was still a decent week overall. Mostly soft tissue injuries this year, which is typical. The weather during the event was nice after the rain left the area. Just a...

hey! did you ever find anything? and what area are you in?

In the Plano area, 911 is mostly fire. AMR has a county contract north in Collin County (but not in the cities) and they have Hunt County as well. Some of the counties have their own stuff. Only cities that a private service I can think of offhand are Balch Springs (CareFlite) and Arlington...

At a standby service I work for PRN, I went from $10 to $12.50 for having my AEMT/EMT-I while I finish up Paramedic school. The extra few bucks has actually been worth it so far.
