So it would be perfectly fine to say you are happy being a transport only medic and don't have desire in fire? I don't really get depts like those because it sounds like an insult to the dept saying you want to only stay in the ambulance

Do you have to "promote" to suppression side or can you stay in the ems side. Because sac metro they want them to move to the fire side after 3 yrs I believe.

Haha I was reading that!!

Ya its badass but its Pecos lol Kind of like my service. Its one of the best if not the best in California but its Central Cal lol

OP, Can you be more precise in what is more important to you? Scope , pay? Etc. Here are a few, Williamson County, Harris County Emergency Corp, Cypress Creek Ems, A/tcems, Med star, Humboldt General Hospital, Wake County EMS, state of Delaware, King County. We can name some more if you'd like.

Ya that's ridiculously low pay. I like how they are a 'non-represented" position.

You guys are at least a yr away from that. Which will be 4 yrs without raises

can't wait man! I've been studying the material for a few months now. along with never being stagnant on learning in general. thanks to you guys as well for some knowledge. 4.5 yrs on a busy 911 system helps too I guess lol

Well just got word a buddy and I are getting sponsored by our employer for Paramedic school. Not only will we not pay for tuition, books, uniforms, certs, etc but we WILL continue getting our Full pay check and benefits during the program. !!!!!

That's bull:censored::censored::censored::censored:! Lol but whatever I'm at a way better place now We just got a 9.5% raise for everyone and in a yr and a half 10%. We are non union too, like your division. Obviously something is wrong with the "unionized Riverside division" Lol

Sure is. Emt and medic pay in riverside hasn't moved in 3 yrs. So I never got a raise in 2 yrs. And they still haven't ratified a contract so it still going on more time with no raises.

14.xx an hr for medic. Amr riverside is ALS primarily 911 with occasional IFT. Medics there start at 15.60 hr but don't get OT after 8hrs only after 40 in the week.

Come over to Hall. If you want a career in EMS.

i worked Riv for a a couple of yrs, before coming over to Hall in Kern. I can say Riv is a good place too(especially compared to LA,OC) especially with the new med director but still far below kern co in more ways than I can count in 2 hands. Just don't get complacent , as an emt and a employee...

^ correct. Also it depends on which medic you work with.

Thing is medicare reimbursement rates are higher or are going to be for public services. I think. But don't remember where I read that or else Id site the source.

Longggggg transfers!!!! Little mom and pop service that runs all the 911 and IFT there. They have a lot of turnover due to new medics going there just to get some 911 exp then leave.

Lol ^^ Does anyone have or seen presidios protocols?

Well ask transportjockey. Apparently they are pretty much physicians where he is at.

We have a emergency button on HTs and our MDT. We also have codes and regular safety checks we need to go Code 4 on. Once either is activated they will switch everyones traffic to another channel and keep the unit in distress on the main alone so no ones walks on them if they key up.
