That happened to me when I took mine. It was the worst! I thought I had failed cause it kept giving me questions lol. Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk

Pretty much, the way they have divided up the territory and run BLS rigs in so many places that need ALS. They fact that they let so many rinky dink company's operate in the county, its mind boggling.

Lol, double thanks. I was just wondering cause I'm an ER tech and need some extra cash at the moment. I was wondering if I could do some shifts at some low rent IFT and not need the DL lol.

Ok thanks.

SNFs send train wreck patients to me in the ER all the time. They always hand off to EMS with a ****ty report and a BS reason as to how long the patient has been "not normal". I would not worry about it, there really isn't anyway that you could have done to improve or further harm the patient...

Do you need a ambulance drivers license/permit to work for a bls interfacility transport service? Or just for working 912 calls?

Most people are starting from zero. There are few who are already familiar with the subject matter. Make lots of flash cards and drill. The first couple of weeks are all about memory and recall. You'll do fine.

They also throw in random test questions that don't affect your score sometimes.

Never take it on Friday lol. Mine went to 120 and I thought I failed it. I passed it, so don't worry.

Does it work better than coban?

What state and county do you work in?

If speaking literally then yes, we do it for a pay check. We don't do it to get rich lol, we end up overworked, overstressed and underpaid.

We certainly don't go into ems to make money lol.

I always use non adherent dressings for burns.

Check with the local office also have them check their nearby offices. AMR is huge in Cali and run classes out of pretty much all of their operations centers. Yes, I'm in the Inland Empire and have taken classes out of their Rancho Cucamonga office.

My local AMR office runs a refresher every other week. I did one earlier this week cause I'm starting a new job on the 30th and I wanted to be up on everything. They charge $150 its 3 days in a row, they sign off your skills and include a BLS card renewal. They are really helpful and patient...

If your coming back to california don't stress. There are a few ambulance companies that do the skills testing with out taking the class. The going rate is 40-60 in OC and IE area. I would recommend taking a full refresher though, it helped me a lot when I was out of practice for a year.

If you volunteer to work the event your lodging is usually free. I know cops that have volunteered to work it in passed years. You work 24hs and get a couple hours to rest on a cot and then back to work lol.

I'm trying to get my accreditation with OC EMS. I'm already licensed through EMSA and ICEMA, but from reading their website it appears that I would need to take a 5 hour class for their "expanded scope". Does anyone know what that entails? I've searched their website for clarification, but...

Ouch I never realized how small your state is. You could always volunteer to work EMS for the bike rally in Sturgis. I'm sure you'd get plenty of exposure with penetrating wounds, C-spine and drunks. Probably a combination of the three at every call lol.
