Your info about PT is correct except let me add that if you work graveyard the call bonuses are in effect right away, you don't have to wait the 520 hours. Also the hourly in all stations except SF is 11.05 and after the 520 hours goes to 11.75. Then after the 1040 hours it goes to 12.75...

Yea they definitely changed it. There is the group interview in Richmond and then if you are hired there is a group orientation in Cotati every other week. Then the following week you go to a classroom tr nig inPleasant Hill. But between the orientation and the tranngeveryone has to go I...

Not true. For Pro-Transport-1 I had to do about 4 different exercises with 3 differnt sets of weights. First the warm up with 40 lbs, then with 90 lbs, and then with 120 lbs. It is done at FROST in San Jose and when I was there there were other employees from Bayshore in San Mateo, AMR in...

Sarah I hope you choose the SFPA. Yeah they fill up fast. Hopefully you will be in their Spring class. I have been volunteering along with other classmates on Saturdays to assist the instructors teaching skills. I'll probably help in the Spring too. It really is an awesome program. They...

I think the 40 lb, 90 b, and 120 lb test doing 3 or 4 different tasks at each weight level is pretty common. Several companies in the Bay Area send the candidates to Frost in San Jose to do the fit test. It is the exact same thing that you describe. I was so terrified I was going to fail...

Everything I am finding says this information is false. Read my previous post.

Can ANYONE confirm if their background checks have cleared since the government shutdown started??? I have been calling since Tuesday when I was sent home from training. And everyday when I enter the ATI number and my birthdate it says: The California response is still in progress. The...

Thanks. Are you sure? I have been trying to follow up. I was provided with all the information so I can call and check on the status. But when I call and provide the ATI # and my birth date it just states pending. The guy in Santa Clara county said that is a good sign. But there is not a...

I wish this was moved to EMS Lounge instead of EMS Employment. Live Scans will effect people trying to take NREMT or get their Ambulance DL. In fact I needed the Live Scan because Santa Clara county requires you be licensed for Santa Clara county. I just wish that when I picked a county I did...

I probably should have posted this in EMS Lounge. Moderator please move to whatever place is most appropriate?

So I had to get an additional Live Scan because of the county I am working in requires a county badge. They used to let you use the receipt as proof that you got the badge. Well, yesterday I was on a rig posted at Stanford and I get a call from the Santa Clara County office that they still...

Congrats! How close together did you take the exams? From your posts it appears to be a week but you could have taken the fisrt one a while back. For the NCLEX you have to wait 45 days between exams. Is their a waiting period with NREMT?

Yeah but a company asking for a password to one of my accounts is a bit absurd. It may happen but it is not a company I would want to work for.

Sorry, at first I thought it was so odd that they wanted a copy of your DL and H6 and other stuff with your age on it. I thought it was illegal to ask age. Tigger as you have stated they cannot discriminate but they can still ask for documents that have your age. The only reason I was...

Huh, wow. I would move on to the next company. I don't have anything illegal in there but they may not appreciate some of my Burning Man pics and other stuff. By the way it is Miss ChanelCinq. Chanel Cinq is Chanel #5 in French. I don't think many guys would have a perfume as their...

THanks. I am sure they want something else but yes this is good for the application process and then when I get hired I can take whatever course they recommend.

Thanks guys. It appears most companies want it after employment. So I'll wait until I get a job and see exactly what they want.

I would never refuse to provide something they ask for as that would automatically disqualify me for the position. I am trying not to make waves, not to draw unwanted attention.

Why would I hide my age. My fear was that I would get overlooked because of my age. But that appears not to be the case.

LOL, I certainly don't pant when walking across the room. I go to the gym 5 times a week, do vinyasa yoga, mountain bike, used to practice Capoeira and other martial arts and many other physical activities. And I don't look my age at all. It seems like they don't care because I already have...
