Hey Medic student here who’s hitting internship soon. Was just curious from you medics out there who hold either of these certs. I would like to do flight in a few years and plan on trying to keep up with studying and my education after medic school. I’ve looked at IA-Med’s courses for the...

So I’m asking because I got denied from nursing school (All the ADN programs I applied to) and plan on starting medic school at Ben Clark (Moreno Valley College) this August. Does anyone know the highest paying agencies in CA? I’m probably gonna stay at my AMR division in Riverside for a bit (I...

I was just curious if anyone here has actually done this. I’ve been an EMT for about a year and a half now and I’m about to start nursing school in fall (hopefully I get accepted). I’ve heard a lot about how a Nurse can challenge a Paramedic license since technically speaking nursing is a...

I pretty much have gotten the same response from everyone I’ve talked to saying that I should just skip medic and go straight from emt to RN, but I wanted to share my thoughts and ask for input. Any flight nurses input would also help a lot. Ive been with AMR for almost a year and recently...

Hey everyone looking for some more BLS help and suggestions. I was supposed to transfer out to AMR riverside and got hired in December, but still have gotten nothing back from them, so I took an opportunity that came up that will allow me to run a lot more 911 in Laguna Beach and I’m looking...

Quick little background. I work for Doctors Ambulance in OC which is 90% IFT and some 911. I have done a handful of TC’s and other 911 calls, but OC is fire based ems with BLS ambulances and all medics are OCFA with the exception of Placentia I believe. I’ve been an emt for around 7 months now...

Hey everyone was looking to see if anyone could give me some insight on how well medics are actually being paid down in SoCal. I’ve been an EMT-B for about 5 months now and I’m currently working for a really small division of AMR in Orange County. Our company is all BLS so we don’t have any...
