    Casino emt?

    Kinda like they said I worked as security/EMT at a casino and I thought the job was great. Fairly chill, mix of duties, pay was good. I suppose it varies heavily from casino to casino but I was at a smaller one that paid me well, my coworkers were pretty cool, and I am not hard to please...

    Real learning vs spoon feeding

    I agree that shop classes or really anything that is more similar to real world work, should be brought back. They could do internships, explorers whatever the heck. But I think an issue for me was that I had no experience with how blunt work was in real life. You come and you work, take...

    Finding a job with a Army ELS RE-3?

    I'd say don't hide it, be honest Don't try to defend yourself too much, just be clear and state the facts and tell them that you have changed your attitude. Change your attitude for real if needed. That's really all I would say. Time will help, and doing something with that time (school, diff job)

    ER Tech Salaries

    I believe the idea is that Hospitals in Rural or low population areas will generally pay less, from my experience. However if you go to vegas or SD, you can get from 18 up, but they are much more difficult to get (as ive been told by everyone) Rural spots you can nab pretty easy tho, get...

    Hey, looking to join this community (first post)

    I only ever worked on a BLS ambulance, and as you can imagine it was less than exhilarating. It was good for practicing assessments and just getting used to patients in general, in DEmedic's line of thought, it can be good practice for learning how to deal with the scenes and be kind to the...

    Get over the guilt

    One of two things A) you were confident (at the time) that you felt a pulse, in which case I still may have been worried, but regardless you would be sure of the pulse and the nurse confirmed breathing. Now if something scary like that happens you can always ask said nurse or someone to check...

    You respond to 40 y/o with chest pains and coughing

    Playing along with the bs of that scenario, Idk about legal things, but IMO you have 2 patients Not an MCI so you can't black tag anyone, call for backup (hell ask a pedestrian if they can do compressions 4 u) and use time that you aren't shocking or bagging pt 2 (maybe just hands only no...

    Americare is Bad

    I worked for their san diego chapter, and let me say they are shady as hell. I tried to keep my head down and out of it, as they treated new people like walking garbage sometimes. But I was not too out of the loop to miss them holding calls so that people didn't get paid night hours. They held...

    Cardiac Arrest Question?

    Hey there are always going to be times that you aren't sure what to do or haven't been prepared for a certain situation, and all you can do is put up your best effort, ask for help and think critically. See if you were 3 min away from the er probably even 5, I would say run for it. Any more...

    Should I follow up or wait?

    Actually some places don't follow up or anything that quick. Places that do group hirings (most amb companies I've seen) won't say anything for a while until they are ready to start going through everything so don't get ancy, that's just how some places do it That being said leaving one little...

    "Requested Salary"

    Ya either negotiable, or just put a dollar amount around what they intend to pay (maybe just a tiny bit above so they dont go with your lower offer) Usually they are gonna pay what they are gonna pay and thats it, your number, more or less, does not matter
