Hey everybody! I'm thinking about getting the the May class at NCTI Roseville. Does anybody have any opinions of the program? I took my NCTI A&P class recently (at a different campus) and word on the street when I was there is they're starting to clean house as far as faculty and program...

Hey everyone! So, I'm still in the works of getting my ducks in a row to go to NCTI's medic program in Roseville, CA in the next year or so. Does anyone have any info on their (or any other NCTI) admissions process? Any interviews? How long of a timeframe from the time applied to the time...

Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a pickle right now. I'm trying to save up a large sum of money to pay for medic school and cost of living while going (don't want to work while in school). I've got almost 5 years of experience as an EMT with a majority in a busy 911 system. I love my job and I've...

Hey everyone! Just trying to dig around for some info on AMR, specifically Stanislaus and Roseville divisions. I'm thinking of relocating up that way to be closer to family. I just want to know the usual stuff. What do emts/medics make up there? How's management? Also, how do you guys like...

Hello EMTlifers! I need some advice from some EMT veterans both past and present. First of all, I love EMS. It's been my passion since I was a kid and it's the only thing I've ever felt I've done right in my life. Lately I've just been really feeling very down on the financial side of the job...

Hello! For starters, I know there's a million threads on NCTI, but I couldn't find anything with current information. Living in SoCal, I would like to go to either San Diego or Riverside. I saw on the website that neither campus is offering paramedic anytime soon and I've been hearing that both...

Hello all! I'm an emt from southern cali thinking of moving to Las Vegas for medic school (or permanent if i know what's good for me! Lol). Can anyone recommend any programs? I just looking for the usual info (pt/ft, cost, pass rate, etc.) and any other info or opinions you can give me...

Hey everybody! Well, I have officially had it with the way LA/OC runs EMS!!! I'm looking to take my skills out to the inland empire, where hopefully I will become WAY more dialed of an EMT than I would be out here. AMR is the obvious choice of employment, so does anybody know what divisions are...

Hello EMTLifers! I've run into a recent dilemma that I could use some advice on. I won't say any names but I was working for an IFT company that I had a love/hate relationship with like any other company, but treated me very well for almost 2 years. In an attempt to step out of my comfort...

Good day everyone! Anybody know the current starting hourly pay rates for EMTs at Lynch ambulance and Premier Medical Transport in the OC? Also, any opinions on these companies? Thanks!

So I was reading an article the other day about EMTs and paramedics possibly being armed one of these days. Just out of curiosity I want to get some opinions on the issue from some fellow users :huh:

ok so i failed my 1st attempt at the national registry. i found the test quite difficult, of course, so im studying my butt off. On the 2nd attempt, are the questions reworded? maybe put in a different order? or do they even give you a whole new set of questions? how does it work on a 2nd attempt?

I heard OCEMS is expanding protocols for emt-b's. Does anyone know what new things we'll be able to do?

Hi! I just got done doing my ride alongs for my emt class. Due to my age I ended up getting stuck on IFT units, however I did manage to get a 911 call for a heart attack so that kinda made my day. What kind of stuff did you see or do?

Hello. I'm thinking about applying as a medic for amr down in the san diego area. Does anyone have any idea what they pay down there? I'm trying to decide whether or not it would be worth the relocation.

We all know that being in EMS isn't easy on a hungry stomach. What do you usually eat during your shift? More importantly, how fast can you scarf it down before getting a response? :)

Hello. Right now im in my emt-b training and i plan on starting paramedic training next year. However I'm facing a problem. Where I live, in order to be a paramedic, you must be a firefighter. Only emt-b's roll in the ambulance. I've got nothing against fire medics. They sure are great at what...

hello. Just wanted to hear some stories about paramedic school and how to survive it. Right now I'm in my basic class and I'm going to start paramedic training soon hopefully. I hear all these stories about how paramedic school is so easy to burn out of and how difficult it is. What do you think?
