ooh that's what that stands for! yeah i just need to get my foot baaack in the door.. we'll see what happens. i'm on the register for RMA's emt position too cause i couldn't make the hiring test because of school..

maybe for some states but the one in washington only requires CPR, first aid. EMT cert is just a plus. But i was wondering if anyone here has done this type of thing and if they kind of shifts typically are worked

sorry i mean 5 min after they found him (the FD said it was probably 10) but it was not a very reputable home to say the elast

It's just a wheelchair van type thing

when someone goes code post trauma...? my first was a 60 yr old male at a nursing home. worst nursing home ever! they called 911 supposedly right after he went code but most likely they didn't for a good 5 minutes. they said they would meet us at the front door, then when my partner and I got...

Does anyone have any info on this job? What's scheduling for FTE like? Is it a good foot in the door to get moved up to EMT? (Yes I am an EMT)

hmm i don't know! they didn't say anything and i was always very thorough with my assessments, i caught things the FD medics missed a couple times like stroke signs and neck pain. most of the FD liked me, and i was one of the few who always gave the rigs total wipe downs with disinfectant every...

i said it was cause they thought "my heart wasn't in it" because i wasn't able to cover as many shifts as they wanted me to which is bs since they scheduled me almost everyday so i can't cover shifts i'm already working. and a lot of times when i did call to cover an open shift it was already...

ive seen positions at renton for like a clinical support tech or something and er tech jobs at tacoma general

the er tech jobs i've seen that will hire without experience have been in tacoma, renton, and outlying areas. definitely wont find any in seattle/bellevue

so what if i was insinuating something? it's not like the world is rid of racism, that stuff happens. if code 7 is the same, do you mean airlifts? but we didn't really have set aside break periods. we were on rotation in 4 crews at daytime and 3 at night, and your break would just be...

i don't know how most other agencies are but the one i was with, we had about 1 month of training being the 3rd guy and then 90 days of probation after that.

well when that happened we were 3 min from the hospital and it was relatively light sleep where i would have waken up totally if i felt the speed slow etc. and yeah i know i messed up but i just brought up ethnicity to give you a better picture of me and also cause i got alot of funny looks...

it sucks cause most er tech jobs prefer if not require at least some experience. but there are some that will make an exception! plus you make around $15/hr starting when you would make, in my own experience, $9.35/hr starting on an ambulance crew.

ohh interesting. Olympic in lacey also requires experience since they are primary responders in that area and run priority to all calls. but Oly bremerton is secondary and you never run priority except on full codes or if someone tell you to. theres also Oly in sequim if you are willing to...

where i worked, we had a guy originally from philadelphia and where he worked, emts had to wear bullet proof vests. i also talked to an old CNA who was a medic somewhere in california who said he had a vest and carried a .45? i've never heard of that, even in ohio where medics are sworn...

i'll just keep working as a handyman and try to volunteer with a FD for now. i make $15/hr as a handyman opposed to the $9.35/hr i was making with that company.

not to mention the mom who ate her 3 1/2 month old babies' brains... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32171926/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/investigators-stunned-child-dismemberment/#.T8heLbBSSf8

I'm in seattle, washington. the company i was with was outside of seattle in somewhat rural area. it's pretty bleak here so i'm really kickin myself for blowing my opportunity! but thanks for the tips!
