Sounds like Falck just needs to buy out AMR and then they would own the world.

All I know is CARE keeps up to date rigs and has really good benefits. They make purchases on rigs often and falck has streamlined their application process (it takes less than a week to receive a response now, used to be 3-4 months). Seems like a big backer to have.

Congrats. I hope it works out for him, socal is swamped with applicants for basic positions

There have been many studies conducted showing that liberal art or social science majors usually have higher verbal and writing MCAT scores than their hard science peers. Conversely, obviously those people also tend to not score as highly on the bio, chem, and physics portions of the test...

I'm going to CSUF due to cost. I'm supporting myself currently, really stuck in a hard place. No classes to get research done, even though 3 the required classes for a psych major are all research oriented. I wish I could do something like that from UCI. Lol

It really is. But it also isn't. Real world experience should be a huge factor in decisions but the logic behind research is more or less the idea that as a medical doctor you are going to be doing patient care AND research and experiments of procedures. I realize not every MD does this but a...

EMT shouldn't be a central point on any med school app. As said before it is to pad a resume. You want to be well rounded but specific. The main girth behind my method is that I am a pyschology major. My ultimate goal is neurology and hopefully neurosurgery. It is two tiered because it breaks...

Each one of those things listed is a dime a dozen yes. But when you look at the huge amount of medical school applicants many do not have any work experience in medicine, have never seen anyone die or bloodied or in a condition science has taught them. Combine all the things you have done and...

I started in EMS to supplement experience and my resume for med school. Granted, I have 3 years until I finish my undergrad studies and pre-med. For me, this is a leg up on the competition because I will still be doing other extracurriculars such as research and volunteering until then...

Not being with doctor's, but working around them a lot(I am with Medix, the company that has Mission viejo), they are a good group and i'd recommend them over the majority of companies in OC.

Kinda easy today. Old guy falls as I start the shift. Then another who refuses transport. Then we get a guy exhibiting stroke symptoms, but the fire changed shifts in twenty minutes so they rolled it bls. Then at 5 this morning a crazy who didn't get name, wouldn't allow treatment, only wanted...

During my time there it was decent to bad. I started with the OC cars and got run quite a bit. Some dialysis but mostly hospital to hospital transfers. Eventually I ended up on LA day cars where we rarely got a call the entire 8 hour period of posting. Idk why they even were in LA with such low...

Almost 5 months. Not a huge amount of time, but if you switch companies you'll notice a huge difference in everything. You'll more or less be learning how to be an EMT again.

Buy some cheap suit containers. My silver bengal (the one in my avatar) destroys my navy blue uniform with his hair. Target is a good place to get them.

He was DOA. My work here is finished.

Go for it as a stepping stone, but keep sharp on your skills and knowledgde. I made the mistake of falling into the rut there and lost almost everything I knew skillwise. Further info: you start at $8.00/hr and after 6 months it is bumped up to 10.

No skills test. Written is a joke. You'll lose brain cells working for them.

Medix is still family owned and still kicking. They had someone internally sabotage the billing a couple years back. Won't go into it more than that, but they're starting to grow again. They've done extremely well in Mission Viejo so far which may help lend them some credibility in this highly...

I'm really hoping my company (Medix) will be able to stand up against CARE and Doctor's when it comes to bid time in a year. All three companies are just so good. And now care and doctor's have big backers who are established.

Probably due to being owned by Faulk now. Which may also explain the firing going on. Who makes the rigs btw? I'm just wondering. And are the sirens digital, they sound kinda weak and high pitch so it just doesn't sound normal to me.
