Emt with AMR in the riverside division. From what I’ve heard management is better with the hemet and Palm Springs division. I’m also saying this as an emt not a medic so take what I say as a grain of salt since I’m obviously not a medic. But from my understanding but our scope is pretty limited...

It’s about to get a lot worse. Riverside AMR is really short on medics right now. I’m working BLS there and we’ve been getting sent to a lot of 911 calls. I was just at our mandatory meeting today and since the vaccine was mandated I’m pretty sure we’re going to lose even more staff.

I appreciate this post a lot! That’s kinda what I had in mind as well. I would love to be full time at an FD as a medic and also do PT as a flight nurse. I tend to value experience over pay and time anyway. I know I could go straight to a BSN program, but I feel like working as a medic before is...

California is pretty intense with the certifications lol. I needed the Med Examiners to work in Orange County as well as Riverside. Our DMV in California requires the Medical Examiners In order to even receive an ambulance drivers license if I remember correctly.

I’m not super picky about my rig mostly because I used to be in a different ambulance everyday. When I did finally get a shift with the same one everyday I did like to make sure I had stuff in a particular way where I wanted it so it was more suited to how I like things. I have always done a...

Eh that routes not totally for me. I can’t see myself in admin or management. I prefer hands on patient care. I’d go insane sitting at a desk lol, but that could just be young me

I don’t remember the HR tbh but I don’t think it was anything super significant, maybe a little tachy. It was definitely a strange call for me, but this is my first time doing a lot more 911 lol I’ve learned more in 2 days I feel like than I ever did in my 10 months in Orange county

12 lead was done nothing significant from my understanding, then again I’m a basic so I didn’t really look at the ekg I just put the leads on lol. We actually did try the Large cuff on her forearm, but it was the same thing, it was not giving us a BP

This was actually with AMR riverside. I just transfered out here from Doctors and going through my fto time. We Initially were code 2 to RCH but my medic wanted to upgrade. I probably didn’t grasp the whole situation entirely since it’s one of the first times I’ve been apart of such a stressful...

Just started my ALS training with my new AMR ops, I’m a basic and with a medic and emt fto, I just ran this call and could use some input. One of the most intense calls I’ve run. 70 yo F who’s friend called 911 for falling out of her walker. Pretty extensive hx, chf, copd, db. We’re code 3 to...

I tend to say these to every pt Loading pt in ambulance: we promise not to drop you! We only drop people on (whatever the day was). Have you ever been in an ambulance? (If it’s first time): first and last time right?

I know most of those but there’s definitely a few on there I need to learn. I haven’t done the routing portion of my orientation yet so I’m sure to learn a lot more. I appreciate the list a lot though! I’ll definitely make it a point to learn those.

I’m an EMT! They told me when I interviewed for transfer that we can jump straight onto an 911 ALS as long as it’s available. My goal is to only bid for ALS shifts and if There’s none there’s the main shift bid in June. It’s good to know that the mdt/ cads actually work lol. My previous ops...

For starters I’ve been with AMR for almost a year now and I’m currently in orientation for AMR Riverside as I just transferred from Doctor’s Ambulance in Orange County. Any input on what to expect working in Riverside County? I’m looking to jump straight onto a 911 ALS Truck and I’m not...

I pretty much have gotten the same response from everyone I’ve talked to saying that I should just skip medic and go straight from emt to RN, but I wanted to share my thoughts and ask for input. Any flight nurses input would also help a lot. Ive been with AMR for almost a year and recently...

Hey everyone looking for some more BLS help and suggestions. I was supposed to transfer out to AMR riverside and got hired in December, but still have gotten nothing back from them, so I took an opportunity that came up that will allow me to run a lot more 911 in Laguna Beach and I’m looking...

Quick little background. I work for Doctors Ambulance in OC which is 90% IFT and some 911. I have done a handful of TC’s and other 911 calls, but OC is fire based ems with BLS ambulances and all medics are OCFA with the exception of Placentia I believe. I’ve been an emt for around 7 months now...

I would suggest applying, I think we’re pretty good on our end on getting back to people the only thing that sucks is our HR is ran by AMR in LA and they tend to suck. It’s a good company to start at and if you’re lucky you can get some 911 experience. But I’ll let you know right now it’s pretty...
