https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Medics-and-EMTs-Lack-of-Ambulance-Staff-Impacting-Emergency-Response-Times-in-the-City-475187953.html i'm not well versed in SD ems but this seems to be a recurring theme. i believe a few years ago there was news coverage of protest for higher wages?

can someone elaborate about this? I am scheduled to test with AFD. TBH i applied on a whim trying to get out of Cali. I was hoping to get a better scope but now i'm hearing that may not be the case. I just recently browsed that aurora has modified protocols than the rest of denver?? Whats its...

That's all I was trying to suggest. Job satisfaction and making the most of what you have. I tried not to digress too much in the imperfections and what should've could've been done. @NPO I wasn't trying to sell protocols I was trying to inform of the greater opportunities to "be a medic, play a...

In regards to WAGES. I too have heard the amount for ambulanz but have no personal confirmations by friends or colleagues in ems. PRN and Liberty probably second best paying. Liberty allows you to do doubles if you're into system status posting for 16+ hours (anticipating with holdovers) and...

go to sleep, no one likes a debbie downer. lol

any chance they open to hiring part time? i remember there was a sliver of time a while back they accepted straight pt employment

dang those red shirts though. haha. good luck to those how apply. i wish i moved to texas when i was a new medic. i missed that crossroads a long time ago.

TIL, college of the redwoods has an LVN/Paramedic to RN program https://www.redwoods.edu/Portals/91/17-18/nurs_careermob_as.pdf F, i wish i found this 2 years ago.

oh man i'm sorry @Summit already stated about excelsior. i didn't mean to rehash info. i should've read more carefully. pretty much everything Summit said. I am a medic and RN student in Cali and I work a very flexible part time medic job (no logner 911; ift-als) 2 times a week, perdiem ER...

NO, there is no California BRN approved medic-rn bridge program. there are online distance education bridges but you'll only be able to work Federal facilities (VA hosp, fed jail).

I had no in like that. I also thought maybe i would've benefitted from a station visit. But it was years ago. Live and learn.

Just because I made a poor choice in choosing a screen name gave you the assumption I was fresh out of school or had ONLY IFT experience? I came into that interview with 5 years medic experience with equal amount of als IFT and 911 als experience outside of LA Co. and outside of California for...

i always enjoy reading your responses. cuz it always seems we walked in the same shoes. i too applied, interviewed and go the same feeling, and promptly the thanks but no thanks email. lol

what area of Texas do you work in? also what's your opinion that's wrong with Houston. I visited once I liked Houston city, Fort Bend area, and north parts of Harris County seemed nice to me

what kind of shift scheduling goes along with each shift? Do the 24's do an A/B/C kelley type schedule or are scheduled permanent days? 8hr cars? and what is the part time policy for medics? also between the 2 divisions is there a variation in job duties such as backing up the bls units in sgv...

Correct. I meant they still operate as if its two different companies still. I had an LDT down there last month spoke with an emt on a RM rig. Its like amr vegas and mwa. So "RM" guys still dress like sdfd with the similar sdfd patches and badge etc.

Amr riverside has almost zero 24s now exect for a perris unit, anza(?), and maybe elsinore. They've all gone hotswap day/night 12. This is 2016 info dunno if anything has changed in the subsequent shift bids after i left. Amr SD/ RM with be cool. I have a couple classmates that work there. As...

step 1 was $16.16, and its OT after 40hr in the week. straight pay otherwise. so on a 3/4 schedule you only made OT on your long week. in all honesty it equaled out the same as the 8hr work week schedule

you can always check out Lynch's ALS program if you wanna stay in OC. the only other ALS in OC is Liberty. Subjectively from the ex Liberty guys working at Lynch its worlds better in every aspect company vs. company
