time to re-dig up a fossil of an old thread. i wonder if motomedic is still on here? i was hoping for any updates after 3 years if this is currently how amr is still operating in sd? i just started working for amr vegas. while i love it immensely the experience, the calls, the 911 system in...

speaking of texas i think that could be the next step. an old emt partner of mine told me of austin/travis years ago when i was an emt. it was the first time i ever found out about third service. goggled them, saw their rigs and fell in love. lol. but i heard its next to impossible to get hired...

I'm sorry to the OP for getting off topic but I don't even know where to begin… you're still quoting EMT pay right?! Because $9-11 i'd say is OC/LA average for IFT and minimum wage being for 911. everything else you've quoted is medic pay range down here!!!! I know NorCal has a higher cost of...

sweet.

damn totally forgot about Denver Health. I thought their youtube mini commercials were entertaining. Seems like a great place to work. In anyones thought and opinion is hospital based ems the prime spot to be if you wanted to make a career in EMS without going FF/medic? Comparing the pay, and...

do you have a source to cite? are you referring to San Diego City or County? Rural Metros operating area or AMRs operating area? I'm not calling you out I'm just very interested. I used to work for a Falck owned company and I had a pleasant experience there. Falck is an up and coming...

I don't think its so much as secrecy but more privacy and possibly in the best interest to prevent incidents in patient care. Its a station for a BLS ambulance. the level of care isn't there to accommodate homeboy ambulance, a walk up stemi, stabbing, cva etc. Compared to knocking on the door an...

quikclot where you located? I'd say pay is all the same. IFT vs 911. IFT will lure you in with a higher hourly but limit your OT and opportunities for it. Thats what i fell for. Additionally, most IFT companies don't offer 24s anymore and those that do majority seem to only pay partial 24s...

In California "whatever work you can get" as an EMT under the age of 21 isn't far fetched from the truth. Most hospitals like to see previous EMT experience and sometimes knowing someone on the inside is more than half of it. Now your job outlook as far as ambulance companies that might...

r/m keeps it another year http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/apr/29/san-diego-city-council-unanimously-approves-contra/ if you were referring to SD city

hey all i wanted to post here to get all the variables figured out by enlisting or reserving. (pro and cons, things to consider, stuff i haven't thought of) I'm 27 asian/american lived my whole life in socal. found ems my passion relatively late by my timeframe. some college no degree. i'm...

I just read a reddit AMA from a medic working for a hospital. I know little about hospital based EMS only that they run calls in a certain entrapment area. Even then I don't know of that's accurate information I was given. I was curious how I could find who does hospital based EMS throughout the...

It's just to expand the CCT services. All IFT like other private ALS providers in LaCo. "Ideally" they say all the als shifts are going to start out in a SGV area substation far from CARE's EOAs. They are capable to be pulled into the 911 system if they're the closest unit but at that point you...

CARE just put in for als accreditation with LaCo. which could be approved as early as next month.

Great write up. Loads of helpful information. Sooo I have an interview for medic on the 19th. IF I pass everything will this affect hiring?

Sandpit thanks for the reply. I replied to your PM. Robb thank you too. I stumbled across my post a year ago about this same subject kinda de ja vu moment. I regret chickening out last year. nows its a year later and probably a year stupider since i haven't real practiced paramedicine since...

hey i searched and saw most of the vegas stuff is dated. I recently just got an email inviting me to test with medic west for a medic spot. i was wondering what can i expect? also if any medic west employees don't mind sharing or PM me what life is like as a medic west employee. i do have a...

sorry to wake an old thread but Riggs came up in conversation with a partner at work. saw their site and I'm interested. any updates? I've also heard they prefer newer medics i guess to train them their way? thanks

i just checked their site a few days ago and it said full time medics apps closed? I'd like more info too plz.

Any SoCal ambulance co. employees affected by the upcoming obamacare? My company just released a memo with our last payday that they are terminating our health benefits dec 31, 2013 and all the employees have to go obamacare. I thought legally a company with more than 50 employee needs to...
