Nice dude. But did McCormick clarify what they meant by “switching systems for the new year”?

Hey man hope you made it through. So they went back to dummy drags for the physical instead of AMR’s PAT process?

It says for the renewal you need original documents of everything. When I first got my LADOT permit, I gave them the original copy of my DL-51 Medical Examiner’s certificate so I only have a copy of it right now. I need to renew mine so will they still accept the copy of the DL51 since they...

Are there any paramedic programs in/around la county that don’t require 911 experience as a basic to apply? I’m also wondering if UCLA’s program requires 911 experience to apply

I’m hoping someone who’s recently gone through Care’s hiring process can answer this

So after you get the conditional job offer from care, with the drug screening test, do they have to take your vitals before the physical test?

So far, I’ve been an emt for an IFT company in LA County for 7+ months and I’m at a crossroads here. I either have the choice to go with a 911 company for 911 experience or skip that and go straight to medic school preferrably UCLA paramedic school. Essentially my main question is, is it a wise...

Got offered conditional employment with McCormick and I have to go back to take their physical agility test next week. For anyone who’s recently gone through it, what’s exactly on the physical agility test?

I can see how that can apply to mapping but dummy drag? I’d think that’s a basic physical competency for EMS

Just heard from my partner that McCormick got rid of the map testing process as well as the dummy drag. Don’t know why though

According to McCormick’s Instagram page, station 4 does exist and judging by the background building, is on highland

Can’t get fluids going if there’s no fluids in the bag

About a year and a half ago while I was doing my clinical ride alongside for emt class. Was in the back with an emt and a LaCoFD medic and I had the privilege of spiking the bag for the medic when he had to get an IV going. We went over a very well timed and convenient pothole in the road and I...

That’s a shame. My dreams for a 10 minute commute to work are dashed

Bingo. And I believe the actual street number is 750 Highland

@MyNameIsRobert Do you know if McCormick still has station 4? The one on highland in LA near Hollywood

To be honest though I wouldn’t mind being assigned a LP to practice interpreting patient’s rhythms. But then again, wasteful resources

Woah what? Basics with a monitor? Where is this magical county

Well rhythms aside from v-fib and pulseless v-tach which are the only ones you’re supposed to shock. And I’m sure even EMT’s should know what v-fib and v-tach looks like

This reminds me of a discussion a few of us had at our station. Nothing really stops basics from taking ACLS except maybe an ECG and pharm class and that’s pretty simple. So you have your ACLS card now and can interpret pretty basic cardiac rhythms. Does that mean EMT’s with ACLS should get to...
