Yeah absolutely man. The key in any system is to be a hard worker, be a team player, and know what you know and know what you don't; meaning don't be afraid to ask for help and ask questions about things. Good luck!

That I actually don't know, I would assume it's around there if not a tad higher. Rancho/Redlands and Hemet got pretty significant hourly raises during Covid, and with our contract negotiations(For the union) coming around, I would assume we'll receive something comparable. It's a great place...

You're going to go through FTO and will then be placed on a shift until you can choose a new shift(We do this every 6 months called Shift Bid based on seniority). I would say 60/40 it will be a BLS or ALS shift you'll get but don't shy away from IFT. Half of my time here was in BLS and I feel...

I’ll start looking into that today definitely

It’s definitely been better, I’m coming up on 2 1/2 years so my perspective is still pretty new but I’d be happy to discuss it. Shoot me a DM

There's a possibility I might be moving to PA, but I know almost nothing about their EMS system. Was curious what any PA people thought about their companies and the system as a whole. I'll be locating to the Philadelphia area, but I'm really open to anything that seems like a good opportunity.

Come to sunny ol' Riverside

Our leadership doesn’t seem to mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All AMR divisions in the SoCal area are maxed out. SD is lost, and Riv is probably not far behind tbh.

South end is where it’s at, but compared to the city...yeah I’ll take MoVal

I’m an EMT for AMR Riv, I make above $18 and I’ve only been here for >3 years. Personally I like jumping around and picking up shifts in different areas, MoVal can be fun. Management and dispatch can really get your burnt out, but I just learned to live with it. i know everyone says grass is...

Would you mind if I PM’d you?

This is also something I’ve considered. Maybe I’m getting burnt out too quickly.

That’s an idea, I also considered going South End, I hear it’s generally a better vibe out that way.

To add to this, dispatch does seem to play favorites with who they like or don’t like/don’t know. Not to mention getting a call dropped on you 30 mins before EOS, that’s a BLS preschedule with other units posted elsewhere. Yeah, late calls are the nature of the job, but every night? Maybe I’m...

Is someone who works/worked at Care/McCormick willing to let me ask them a few questions about their day to day, etc? Coming from AMR Riverside, it’s a good operation with good pay( best in the region for my EMT exp level), I just am really tired of dealing with crappy management and equal...

That makes a ton of sense, I never really considered the issue of National standards vs individual State, County, and Agency needs. I wonder where this is education will go in the next 5, 10, or 20 years. I’m sure there are plans for streamlining this, but I can definitely understand the...

I’ve been thinking about this ever since I got hired, and I want to ask what you all think. During EMT school I learned things , and didn’t learn things, that were vastly different than what I encountered while on shift. I had to practically relearn and unlearn information during FTO. With...

Oh that’s interesting. My stomach has been kinda weird for a while but I definitely noticed stomach pain and all that much more within the last week or so. Is it true that there are different “strains” of Covid? Because I’ve had friends be positive with a more chest related illness(SOB, chest...

Well, I tested positive a few days ago. My division supe said I was the third one that day calling with the same story I feel fine, my taste and smell disappeared so that’s when I made the call. But I feel completely fine other than that, and the doc says I’m towards the ending of the...
