    AMR Victorville

    It all depends on what division you are going to and if you are a medic or emt. We didn't stay the entire time every single day but it all depends on who is teaching that day.The EVOC driving training days were very long. Just hope the day you are at the track, it's not 110 degrees. They had us...

    AMR Victorville

    Yeah I think they only take 20-25 people per orientation. The orientations are for all divisions (Rancho, Redlands, VV, Hemet, Palm Springs, Riverside). They won't work around other jobs or school schedules during orientation which sucks for some people who have second jobs or are in medic...

    AMR Victorville

    Does anyone have information on their orientation process; upcoming dates, times, process, etc.? Once hired, orientation is 2 weeks full time (0800-1700 Mon-Fri). They won't allow you to miss a day either. They do orientations every 2 weeks, rotating between Riverside and Rancho. After...

    Companies checking Facebook prior to hiring

    My most recent employer asked employees (during there interview) to log in and show them your Facebook. They wanted to see your pictures and what types of posts were put on your page. I was perfectly ok with this because I had nothing to hide. Yes we all drink/party/smoke at times and have a...

    I've spent the last 2 days in the hospital with pneumonia and sleep deprivation. And we are going on IV #7 at 0200.. I want to go home :( On a positive note, I found out yesterday I got a full-time AMR job I interviewed for last week. I'm more than excited to get out of IFT and dispatch...

    How long did you go between getting your certs and landing a job?

    Danno: My interview is on Wednesday. I applied for 8 different AMR divisions June of last year and this is the first one I've heard from. Chimpie: I did ask the HR person who called me. She said every division is different across San Bernardino and Riverside counties in regards to skills...

    Desert Valley Hospital

    I've been trying to get an ER tech position at St. Mary's for over a year. They hire within mostly from what I was told. I know an ER tech that works at DV and he said once you apply, you have to stay on top of them, like call every week. Good Luck :)

    How long did you go between getting your certs and landing a job?

    I got all my certs and within 6 days had an interview and job offer here in So Cal. Now it wasn't my first choice of a company, but it was a full time job with benefits. Now 9 months later, I have an interview with AMR next week.

    Awesome. You'll love Whitney if you get the chance to go up there. It kind of kicked my butt but I wasn't in the best of shape when I went and was the weakest of our group, but I survived. And it started snowing as we made it to the top =) Baden Powell is a good hike. It's up in Wrightwood. I've...

    I definitely know how you feel. I'm trying to keep myself away most of tonight though so I can sleep most of tomorrow and function/stay awake for work tomorrow night. Then I get to convert back to day shift on Tuesday. Someone in scheduling really doesn't think these things through. I asked for...

    I actually just did this a few weeks ago. It was not my normal rig so I had no clue it was even down there. We were parked in front of the mental health facility and I put my foot right there (who puts it on the floor where we put our left foot). It took me like 10 seconds and my partner yelling...
