California Questions

I have just over four years of being a fake paramedic in the Bay Area. I don't remember Diltiazem dose, which makes me a fake paramedic, even though Diltiazem is not in our scope of practice of paramedics in most of the Bay Area. Anything I know about cardiology is likely Googled or learned online. I also failed my field training time as a paramedic in Alameda County, which means I cannot reflect on my experience there or compare it to my four years experience as a fake paramedic where I work at now. Even though most protocols are easily available online, including Alameda County, I cannot compare it to my own protocols and realize that it really isn't that much better than most places.

I've posted plenty of fake information online. Feel free to search through it at your own risk.

It's California's best kept EMS secret:

6 out of the 9 fire departments are BLS

No MICNs

EMTs can be given BLS 911 calls by the Paramedic

Pit crew CPR

Vents

No bed delay

Every crew has assigned transfer times

Flex crews are put last up for calls 30 minutes before end of shift

No OT restrictions


Plenty more

New medic is $21.40. I worked there briefly and wished I was still able to but my commute was way to much and my plans to relocate closer fell through due to financial reasons. Hopefully can move closer by end of year.
but it was great vibe. Great people. Wasn’t to busy. Like 3-4 calls a day at Santa Barbara area.

Overtime is unlimited and you can pick up shifts for double time. We had somebody clear $160,000 last year.

Also, they offer paid internships at top step EMT rate. Give them a call for more info.

Nice nice, that's rad. How hard is it to get 24 hour shifts? And also, do y'all do street posting on the 12's or do yall have the little random office building type deals throughout the county when you're posting? This all sounds really rad, the only thing that worries me is the pay compared to how expensive the area is
