Great. I appreciate that. What I'm looking for is more or less on the ground experience of paramedic life at the LAS. What I'm hearing about pay, working conditions, management, burn out, and fearing you'll be disciplined for any minor infraction makes for scary reading. So, what I think I'm...

So, I'm progressing through the current London Ambulance hiring phase as a U.S. paramedic. I have several questions related to paramedic life and London life that I can't find answers to online in these forums or elsewhere. I could really use someone who presently works there or recently worked...

So, international applicants do NOT have to go through that programme? It seems like we do given the materials recruitment sent over. BUT it's not real clear. Also, I have heard about the 14-hour shift. I take it you're staying after to finish paperwork? And I have been reading some pretty...

Greetings, Are there any folks in here that currently or previously worked for the London Ambulance Service that might be willing to answer a few questions for me regarding being an international applicant? 1) I see that it appears international applicants need to go through a 2-year Newly...

Hey gang, I have an interview and test with Banner Health out of Colorado next week. Just wondering if anyone has experience with their paramedic test and what I should focus on if necessary. Thanks much!

This is sort of what I saw on the reviews online about the company. It was hard to differentiate between the poor reviews that were for other parts of the company and those that were for the paramedic side. One aspect could be miserable; the other not so much, so it was hard to tell. They only...

Bro, I have to tell you, over the time I've been posting here, your replies are always so helpful. I appreciate this. I'll definitely consider applying. Thanks again.

Greetings all, I'm trying to do some reconnaissance on an organization called Banner Health. They have some paramedic openings and it looks like there are some pretty mixed reviews about what it's like to work for them. They are a large organization, but the location I'm most interested in is...

Thank you very much for this. I appreciate the response. To my question though, do you feel having my FP-C and having gone through a critical care course make me more competitive in the countries you mentioned?

Thanks, brother.

I appreciate this. Thank you. I've done some research about U.S. paramedics in Ireland and it seems that Ireland remains one of the top places for ex-pat medics. Now, part of the reason I want to go to the U.K./Ireland is to be a better medic. I like the idea you had of some sort of bridge...

Greetings folks, I did a forum search for this topic and what little was found is quite dated. So, I'm looking for input on how to make the transition from American paramedic to Ireland EMS. Paramedic continues to be on their "Critical Needs" or "Highly Skilled" needs list as of today. So, they...

Could I jump in here and ask a quick question? I had considered cruise medic as an option, but I'm married without children. So, we technically can pick up and go anytime. However, do these cruise jobs allow you to bring your spouse? Or is it set up to only accommodate the paramedic? Seems like...

Very helpful stuff here, friend. Much obliged.

Thanks for this. I did see this course, but I don't know anything about its quality. Do you have any experience with it?

Greetings folks, My company offers an educational finance benefit that I can use for whatever educational needs I might have related to EMS. I've decided to investigate critical care certification. I'm wondering if you could offer up your suggestions for what might be the best CCP courses. I'd...

Cool. I'll drop him a note. Thanks for the reply.

Sounds good. I'll definitely look into it, but I know that vest plates expire, so I'm not sure how my employer would feel about purchasing plates/vests with an unknown warranty or shelf-life.

Greetings folks, This is a follow-up post to one I made a while back about grants. Since the last post my employer has tasked me with locating and applying for grants that would either be general funds or be used specifically to purchase bulletproof vests for each of our medics. We're a...

Hi folks, I work for a small service that is looking to get some bullet resistant vests for we paramedics and EMTs. My service is a bit outdated in some ways and there isn't anyone here that has experience in searching for or obtaining grants. So, my question to the community is whether any of...
