Elite didn't offer any ALS transport services?

I remember talking to a coworker who worked at hall about a year ago as an EMT. I don't remember the hourly wage but he was saying most medics were pulling in around $38000. The cost of living in Bakersfield and the surrounding area is going to be about half of what it costs in SD. So that money...

Hall is owned and has been owned by the Hall family since creation. The owner of Hall is Harvey Hall who is also the mayor of Bakersfield. I would say Hall Ambulance is very secure. On the other hand, AMR is on the downfall in many parts of California and on the verge of losing the majority of...

Where do you live?

I don't know where you live but in California places such as water parks, resorts, and theme parks hire EMTs. Many are seasonal spots as they are much more crowded during the summer and staff accordingly.

Were you moving to the city of LA or the county?

I second the above advice. You can also look into AMR in Ventura county. They start around $45000-50000.

The only ALS 911 spots outside of fire departments are gonna be through AMR. I think they run ALS up in Lancaster. That being said there are dozens of ambulance companies looking for IFT medics. I believe the pay ranges from $15-20 starting out. As for McCormick they hire medics but its not too...

The interview is basically a behavioral interview and you are scored on each answer. I didn't get hired there unfortunately. They require a 24/7 availability to be hired and I am a full time student so I couldn't make that commitment. I also moved down to Los Angeles about six months after so I...

Hey I interviewed there about two years ago for an EMT position. It was a three person panel interview and was a mix of how would you react if you saw your coworker ____? type questions with EMT based questions mixed in. If I remember right it was someone from HR, director of ops, and a field...

I hardly consider BLS transports such as dialysis calls, hospital discharges, etc to be EMS. That being said a wheelchair van I would have to believe is not considered EMS.

CARE, McCormick, AMR-Irwindale

Non emergency transports will be your quickest way to reach hours to medic school though. If you want to get into medic school most require 1000+ and that will take a very long time volunteering on 24s and working full time.

I would choose option B if you are able to live on an EMT wage. In your spare time you can still volunteer as a FF while getting patient contact. As for the FD putting you through medic school, here in Southern Cali that takes years of time to do. You could just as easily work as an EMT and put...

At CARE it is a requirement that you are both a driver and attendant so I would imagine you would be safe applying with either.

CARE ambulance hires tons of people fresh out of school. They emphasize customer service more than experience. If you ever worked a retail job or something with a lot of customer/employee interaction it will be very helpful if you apply. Most IFT companies in LaCo and north OC will hire people...

I have heard the same about McCormick but it never hurts to apply though. Any specific reason you aren't interested in CARE?

That story is pretty bad haha. I have seen ProCare employees out and about. I am pretty sure they get paid pretty well $12+ if I remember correctly. Its going to be a dialysis derby. If you're current company is also a dialysis derby then it may be better to leave to ProCare just for the extra...

That's a good read and answers that question.
