Wow. Sounds ridiculous...

Hey dr parasite. Thanks for the info. I have checked out the site already. But it seems to be vague on what the ACTUAL stipulations are to be employed by them.

I know there have been plenty of posts that have mentioned the deal with Medic One employment. However, I need a little more information (So if your just going to tell me to look at the other posts, SAVE IT!). There is a possibility I will be relocating to the Seattle area. Does anyone have...

All sounds extremely discouraging. Haha. Thankfully this is just going to be a short term living arrangement. Sucks to leave a good job for a not so great one... Thanks for the info though.

Iceman, thanks for the input. I will hunt around starting with the companies you listed. Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice. I have been looking at both agencies and have heard of the stigmas that private ambulance companies carry. Are there any fixed wing aeromedical transport gigs out there?

Hello everyone. I am looking at moving to the Maricopa County area in AZ at the end of the year. I am a paramedic with 7 years experience (2 ALS 5 BLS). Anyone have any suggestions or advice relating to jobs? Please get back to me. Thanks

Received my visa! Sending copies as we speek to the SRCA.

Excellent! Well safe travels and see you guys over there...

Haha.. very effective way to put an end to this thread.

Do I think that a prehospital care provider of any level should be able to complete a complete PE and accurate HX? Absolutely! Is it a reality? Absolutely not. I should clarify that I do not expect basics to diagnose. But identifying a febrile seizure vs etiology "x" can be done without...

Nor do I agree...

In the state of New Jersey stat ep and FIRST TIME SEIZURES are worked up by ALS (O2, IV, cardiac monitor, BGL, and lorazepam if seizures are reoccurring). Also I would say your statement about pediatric seizures is partially correct. Febrile seizures, for example, are associated with a...

Very nice! Quick couple of questions. How long did it take you to get a departure date after sending them the copy of your visa? Do you have control over when you leave?

Amazing
