Update!!!!!!
Ok so I got fired today....
To answer all of your questions. I have documented every wrong finding with a rig. It was company policy to fill out a ending report at the end of every shift and there was a box for things that needed to be fixed on the ambulance. You bet I was the...
Ok some of you have read my thread called "Would you work for this company?" Well........ I've seriously about had it with this company.
So heres the new story.
On Sunday I was working a 24 CCT shift (8am-8am). My partner and I get there at 8am, and our unit 205 was not back from running...
Some of you may know my ultimate goal is to become a flight medic. Currently I'm working as an EMT-B gaining hours for paramedic school. Recently I've been checking out the Navy and the Air Force. But which one is better? I don't know much about either so any feedback would be helpful.
I know...
Oh I'm thankful. But I just dont feel safe at all. If we have to jump a rig, it still goes out because its so common. I was at a hospital one night and we couldnt get our ambulance started, so they sent another unit to come jump us, then sent us on another call. Rediculous if you ask me.
All...
I was expecting you to respond lol. I should have just sent you a personal message instead.
So a letter with the application. Got it.
My friend works for Doctors, shes going to try and get me an interview. Fingers crossed.
I started at this company a month ago, I know I know a month? I'm strickly doing IFT's and would really like to be doing 911. My schedule is Monday thru Friday 12-8. However since I'm the last crew to come on, my shift is always canceled because a rig is always in the shop. This is getting...
Regal/ Edwards lets us in free if we are on duty, AMC doesn't. Off duty I haven't tried yet.
Disneyland also gives EMS discounts, it's only 10% but hey it's something. Knotts Berry Farm lets you in free, if you are on duty lol. I've heard of some of our guys posting near the park (on a...
When I went to go get my annual EMT physical the Doc told me that even if you quit smoking a year ago the police department, fire, ems still wont accept you. Something about testing your hair particals will show drug use. I've never heard ems doing this but I know for sure PD does this.
Never apply online. Always take in your resume. Most places require you to bring in a drivers history print out (it's called an H6 here in cali) with your resume.
A question might be repeated, dont freak out. I got 2 questions twice.
Sometimes every answer is correct, they just want the "best" possible answer.
Good Luck
You can become and EMT before youre 18 but most employers wont hire you until youre 18.
In California its 18 to work and most of the time 21 to be a driver.
I traveled to Rwanda, Africa in August of 2006, and June of 2007. I spent sometime in some of their local hospitals. One day I ran in to a kid who was about 8 years old, he had cut his leg pretty deep on a piece of glass, it was about a 2-3 inch gash on his inner thigh, but couldnt go to the...
We had both the Thomas guide and the binder full of all the addresses of every hospital, nursing home, extended care facilities, etc. I forgot to mention I did map it out for him.
Oh and he's been an EMT before, I found that out. He had 3 weeks of training. I only had 4 days because our...
Ok so yesterday was my first official day on the job. It was just me and my partner.
Here's how it went...
We had to pick up a patient at a local hospital and take him acrossed the street to an extended care facility. My phone said the distance was a total of .4 miles. I don't know how it...
