I'm on the A shift. So I work Sunday, Monday, tuesday, and every other Wednesday.

But I'm working biker weekend on Saturday. I get to sit in a medical tent watching women in skin tight leather walk by all day. Ooh and maybe hand out some band aids lol
 
Grrr. Of course I'm the only one in the class that starts on the 20th instead of tomorrow or sunday. Meh.

Put in my full time request letter while I was there as well. Only one in the class to do it so far, so I'm at the top of the list for FT.

That's great. It might be a little while before you are able to go to full time status. Right now we have all BLS units filled. But we are supposed to be adding 1 or a couple more ALS units so that will open up some BLS spots. PM we your FTO when you get a chance.
 
Yeah, and it gives me some time to learn the maps and locations. During the interview mike said some FT emt's are dropping down due to school.
 
How often do we get pulled up into desert hot springs? Does anyone wear armor up there?
 
Mike, how'd your first field day go?

You get pulled into DHT "the Dirty" alot. The crew up there, 437, gets run non stop and always needs coverage up there. And no, no one gets issued that kind of protection. Just keep an eye on all your equipment. We had a blue ALS bag stolen from a call up there.

MI's are always fun. In my entire FTO period, I got a whole 3 chest pain calls!

I saw you once as you were leaving desert lol :ph34r:
 
You guys are lucky... I still have not gotten any call back from AMR...its been 7 months I keep emailing them asking if I need to re-apply and/or whats my status. But I don't even get a reply....
 
Hey look at that they replied to me! Just so anyone else knows who is waiting (like me) HR informed me they aren't expecting any opening till February-March of 2012. I am just grateful to have a good paying casino emt job right now while im waiting
 
great info in this thread. I recently moved back to CA and live in San Bernardino county so i am looking to apply AMR in; redlands, rancho, palm springs, hemet, and victorville.

the only thing is I dont have any field experience aside from ride alongs and some clinical hours, Do I have a shot? In all EMS related courses I have taken I have always been in at least the top 5 positions and like to think I have some common sense.

Ive heard from some EMTs in the area that AMR tends to only hire people with experience and if that is so could you make any suggestions as to other services around here as it seems to be greatly monopolized by AMR.

Also Being new to the area its always nice to get to know people around you and was wondering if any of you are locals. specifically I live in Yucaipa right now.

AMR in the areas you are talking about prefer if you have experience but it is not needed. I know many people who got hired on without any experience.

I live about 20 mins away from your city but am up there often at the community college.

Yeah. Pretty much for AMR you just apply online and then it's a waiting game.
 
thanks

i was also thinking of applying to several others (Doctors, Care, Lynch, Pacific/ Bowers, P1, and Shoreline)

I was just about to do a search on these but are there any i should really steer clear of? I realize that some may not want to talk about a Companys "shady-ness" on public boards so pm's are fine.

again, thanks for all the help
