I just got my start date for CARE ambulance at the end of the month, but also have an interview with Doctors ambulance next week. I was wondering if anyone can give me insight about which company they believe is better. I really want to get more 9-1-1 experience and understand that it could be up to 6 months before i get that with CARE, while Doctors you jump right into it...If you work for either company, let me know what you think.

as of right now you will have plenty of opportunities to get 911 experience with CARE but with all of the recent hiring that may be changing soon.

Nah, you can pick all the 911 shifts you want and private cars get 911 calls all the time. They meant it would be 6 months till you can get on a 911 only shift.

@jbnus2, you should have heard something by now. I went in for the physical, drug test, etc. 2 weeks ago and I received a call 3 days later saying I got the job. I start orientation on the 16th as well.
