I would get a White, Short Sleeve (M) I love the design by the way

Hi, I just wanted to know if 5 seconds is enough for taking pulse rates and respiratory rates as well? I have taken the pulse rate on myself to try out and seems accurate compared to 15-30 seconds. I always got the same result with all times. How long have you guys taken it for? Because I know...

Ok thanks, but 45 for both not each right? And at the end of P2 or both separately/different times? Their descriptions on their site are so confusing :)

Thanks for your replies. So, if I do my clinicals in Texas, I would only have to do it for the P2 portion right? Because I read on their site that there are also clinicals for the P1 portion which is for AEMT, which I don't really want to do since I have to travel.

So, I have been looking at schools but they are either too far away from Los Angeles, hard to get in(lots of requirements too) or full time. I need to work, I can't afford to go part-time when I get a job or quit because of paramedic school. I really want to go to paramedic school but it is...

One more question, is PERCOM accredited and is it an associate's degree? I think I would have to get licensed in Texas first and I read Texas requires an associates or higher from an accredited college.

If you are not allowed, you should take some krav maga or martial art :) I don't know if Los Angeles allows or if it is up to the company. One of the emt's that I did my ride along with said he carried a knife in his pocket just in case.

I am going to graduate soon and will be working, however if I have to drive an ambulance I am ruined because I don't know how to drive in the freeway, I am scared of it and don't know much about directions. Have any of you had any similar problems and how did you deal with it? I don't even have...

I know one does in my area(los angeles)but wanted to know what is like the average of other companies. What I mean by my question is that when applying for a job as an EMT do they offer you the choice of not driving and just being an attendant?

hi, I contacted them and they said I would have to travel. How long did it take you to complete the clinical and field rotations?

I have been trying to contact them but they are soooo hard to get a hold of. Do any of you know if I am able to do my clinical and field rotations in Los Angeles? If they don't, is it possible and fast to find my own so I won't have to travel?

yeah, I saw their list but they didn't have it, maybe I should call them. I have heard of some people taking it in LA though so maybe it is

How can I confirm CA will accept PERCOM?

HI, does PERCOM offer clinical sites in los angeles CA?

Does anyone know if this is a good school that offers a very good paramedic education? I also want to know if they have clinical sites in Los Angeles CA, specifically in the San Fernando area, if any of you know anything, I would really appreciated it. I have looked at other schools but they...

Does any one know where I can go to school for paramedic training in LA, besides UCLA and part time? I met a guy who only goes tuesdays and thursdays and I was going to ask him where but somebody cut me off and I am not going to see him again. Do any of you know where that is? He also said that...

I live in the san fernando valley in LA. The ambulances here that I know of are Bowers, Impulse, PRN, and some other ones that I dont remember. :)

I am in school right now to become an EMT and interested in getting a job with a private ambulance here in Socal. I wanted to know if any of you know what kind of calls they get? Like, do they get emergency calls or mostly non-emergency like driving a patient to dialysis? Because in my area...

So I live in los angeles, I am going to go to school to become an emt and look for a job here. I want to get three 12 hour shifts, however, I have heard that some employees who work 12 hour shifts don't get paid for 12 hours since they discount the lunch break. Is it like this everywhere and is...

I am going to study to become an emt basic and later go to school for paramedic training. However, I wanted to know if you get paid while you are doing your clinical hours required to become a paramedic? Did any of you get paid and how did you manage having a job with going to school full time...
