I was selected for an interview with this company. Does anyone know anything about them? I know they do non-emergent transport like IFT and dialysis and whatnot but is this a decent company to work for? Do they pay EMT's a fair wage?

I'm an EMT with about 1 1/2 years of experience (Private transport emergent/non emergent) and I'm about to relocate at the end of the year to Southern California. I keep reading horror stories of people not able to find work for months, and it's really worrying me. My goal ultimately is to get...

JHey everybody! Another question for everyone. I've been researching potential employers in the area I'm trying to move to (Southern / Mid Cal) next year, and I found CARE ambulance. I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with them and if they have any advice for the interview/hiring...

So... I have had my EMT now for 6 months, and I have been working for a private for almost 1 year now (I started off as a driver, yes I was literally an ambulance driver...). My question basically is how easy/difficult is it to go from IFT to 911? My ultimate goal is to get my paramedic and go...

I'm currently an EMT-B in South Carolina. I was wondering how I would transfer my certification to California. I am also wondering if anyone can give me a real estimate/number as to what I'd get paid for private transport or county in that area. I appreciate it everybody!

So I was wondering something.. How the heck does someone new to EMS deal with partners that A) Know it all, B) Assume that you have no idea what you're doing, and/or C) Constantly correct you in front of PTs, even when you're doing the perfectly right thing at the moment. Please don't tell me...

So I'm taking my EMTB, and basically my situation is this; My instructor puts a lot of the learning aspect on his students, I don't blame him, it is in the end our responsibility to learn. But the problem is with me, I am the kind of person where I need to literally read each chapter 3-4 times...

Hello everyone I'm pretty sure this has been covered in many places already, but I am currently working on my EMT-B cert right now on the east coast. How difficult would it be for me to take it and relocate to Southern California, and also what all is involved with doing that?

Hey everyone. I'm in persuit of my EMTB but landed an interview with a transport company in my area, and I will probably need an EVOC (emergency vehicle operation certiifcation). I can't find any places that have them, so I was wondering if anyone familiar with the Charleston or even Columbia SC...

This is a little odd, but I was wondering basically the top 5 things I should be focusing on to gain strength that I will use more often in EMS. I've been trying to do a set routine of everything (medium to heavy weight then working back up to light with 3-4 days in between for that group)...

Besides EMS, what does everyone like to do for fun? I myself (just being a student and not officially "in" ems) like to listen to music/play the drums.

In the spirit of studying/preparing myself for EMT-B certification, I am now on day 3 of my venture to quit smoking (Smoked for 10 years, I'm 25 now.). So far I've got it down well working out/drinking lots of water and a LOT of mints/jolly ranchers.. Would running in addition to these things...

Just purchased a flip-up field guide for BLS, and man I wish I would have purchased one sooner. I am going to study it until January when my cert course starts. Not sure if that's really all that post worthy, but meh.

Hey everyone. I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong section, but I was curious and started looking up what if any effect the affordable healthcare act aka "obamacare" has had on EMS. I know it isn't fully in effect yet, but the latest posts I can find on the web are from like 2010, and...

Looking for a good reliable pack for a basic that is Made In America.. I liked maxpedition until I saw where it was made.. No way I'm paying 80 dollars for something that cost about 4 to make.

Hello I am currently persuing my associates degree in paramedicine from my local technical college. I'm planning on moving to Asheville, NC after that. I was wondering if there are good opportunities there. Thanks!

My local technical college offers an EMT-B certification course that is partially online work with a 3 hour lab weekly. I was wondering if anybody has had experience with these, and if so is it an effective way of learning properly? Thanks!

I am currently enrolled in college courses knocking out general educations for the emt-p program. I may have to wait an entire year before I get my slot to start, so in the meantime what can I do? Is there any courses besides A&P, Bio, etc that I can take. Also, are there any certifications that...

Hey everyone, this is my first post and I have sort of a serious question. Here's my situation, I'm 25 and I'm living at home going to school full time and I'd like to be a paramedic so I could get into some sort of career in the health/other industry (such as being a dive-medic on a ship). I...
