Ah okay, Cool!

Im pretty sure ketamine is still in a pilot program for isolated extremity injury pain management in ICEMA only, I do not think it has been added to the state scope, same with TXA being pilot only. Do you have any site or link that can prove otherwise?

It was at a seminar at UCLA in July of last year, Dr. May Nour came to talk about it. I guess the information I have is very outdated, my mistake! Edit: I was also reading my previous comment, and it seems passive aggressive, which is not at all what I meant. I think its a great program, I was...

Its a pilot program by UCLA mostly funded by donations and philanthropy. As of now only Santa Monica Fire and Beverly Hills Fire are considering utilizing them, since the MSU deploys out of UCLA and doesn't leave the west LA area (LAFD and LACoFD are firmly against using it due to logistic...

@gonefishing does hall Ambulance have a residency requirement? I applied as an EMT like three years ago but I was gung ho about fire back then (prob why they said no) and told them I wanted to stay in Santa Clarita, they told me they wanted me to move to Bakersfield. I hopefully will be getting...

When I worked there as an EMT starting pay was $10 about two years ago. With prior experience I made $11.50/hr. When went to dispatch pay went to $12 an hour. I hated dispatch and went back to the field, and instead of giving me my old wage of $11.50 they took me down to newhire status at $10...

you're most likely gonna test with luke, he is a very laid back, down to earth guy. Honestly the skills test is very simple and straight forward, just dont overthink it. The only way to mess up is to not know how to do a patient assessment, which you seem pretty well versed in.

Hey, I worked for PRN!

Best of luck!

Lol, they made a facebook page post and deleted it the same night after a massive amount of backlash.

It's not hard, just a basic patient assessment, same as your EMT skills book. I got a motorcycle accident. Just Scene safety/BSI, Obvious life threats and need for c spine, ABCDE's, transport decision, and full body assessment head to toe on a manikin. You'll do fine. McCormick just needs warm...

911 is fun until you realize LACoFD paramedics are just advanced EMTs with a blue P-card in their wallet who ship Chest pains, ALOC, and DKAs BLS so they can go back to their station. I once took a chest pain BLS, paramedic came to the back of the ambulance and said, "We're gonna go with the...

I heard through the grapevine that when upper management went to an EMS convention in March(?), one company recommended calling your employees caregivers instead of EMTs or Paramedics as its supposed to imply that you consider your employees caring and empathetic. Instead they come off...

My best guess is like you said. Gold Coast. McCormick operations with an AMR umbrella.

I talked to one of my friends about that. He said that the facebook page got snappy and passive aggressive with any current or former employee who left a comment (yours truly included). You'd think they would have a more political presence when making a post about SELLING THE COMPANY. Also love...

Well, Turns out they couldn't handle the heat. After four hours they deleted their AMR "Merger" Post on facebook. I also screenshotted everything before they deleted it for future keks.

Its been a fun day reading reading all the comments in Facebook pages and groups, reddit, and here! At least for a local it is. I imagine the drama would seem pretty mundane for someone who didn't live in SoCal.

Shame, I loved McCormick and ever since they got their Torrance Contract two-three years ago they've been going downhill at Mach-5.
