Does anyone here know if AMR still runs BLS rigs in Riverside or is it all only ALS?
 
friends work down there. I dont think they do. I know they are emt/medic though.
 
Yea they run 1 to 1 and i have my second interview with them tomorrow and i want to make sure because i don't really wanna get stuck on a BLS rig
 
yea I think your good. that would be a good question to ask in your interview. either way its a huge foot in the door. Times are though right know. take what you can get!
 
Do you think i have a good chance of getting hired if i got a second interview?
 
of course my man. that's how the process works. just dress the part. and answer appropriately.

Not if you tell them you do not want to be on a BLS unit................

Be thankful and humble for any opportunity they offer.

My thoughts exactly.. A lot of of paid our dues on a BLS unit. The interviewing manager will probably thank you and never contact you again if you mention something like that.
 
You guys assume that i would say something like that...im not THAT stupid haha cmon

CCT>BLS>ALS. At least with the CCTs it's RN or RT/EMT/EMT so at least the EMT gets to spend time in the back. I'd rather do BLS than just drive a paramedic around all day long.
 
Yea haha ALS is kind of like a medic taxi, but i just want to be out in the field a little more you know...it's just my personal feelings, everyone is different
 
if you get hired. you WILL do BLS time, especially as a new EMT. I work for one of the other RivCo AMR divisions and all our new EMTs do BLS before they can get a permanent ALS shift.
 
Do you know what i will have to do during the AMR Riverside agility/physical test?
 
The AMR agility test is the same everywhere. And, kc, in one and one counties, you do time on a BLS rig (no 911 during this time) before you get on a one and one rig.

There are some counties where they run BLS 911 rigs. :cough:LA:cough:
 
Actually, AMR Riverside runs BLS IFT rigs. If you're talking about what responds 911, yes, they're all ALS.
