There likely will be a scenario-based assessment, and they'll be looking at your critical thinking rather than raw knowledge - as in, will you be able to set your priorities right in a given scenario and why. And pay little attention to the attitudes, it's AMR.

Ok sounds good. This is money right here. Thanks for the update.

They won't test you on pharmacopeia, that's what the written is for. The skills test will be heavily trauma-oriented; not so sure about splints, but definitely expect CPR.

Are PS division new hires put through the "Rancho ringer" like all new hires have/ had been in the past for the I.E. divisions?

I am not familiar with the "Rancho Ringer" so I have no idea. Are you able to elaborate

New hire orientation.

If by "Rancho Ringer" you imply that orientation is still being held at Rancho division or Redlands division (they alternate) then yes.

Yes, where they put you through all of the AMR stuff with AMR-tastic vids and the super old safety video from the accident in MA.

It's a standard AMR orientation deal, I believe, so I call it that. I just wasn't sure if PS people had to drive there for that. I don't recall seeing too many PS people make it out that way in the past. Interesting about it being in Redlands, unless they relocated their station, it'd seem kind of small.

Mine was at Rancho. I do believe they alternate orientations between Rancho and Redlands. The drive sucked for me coming from the CV. I was the only PS guy and there was 1 or two people from Hemet. All others were ICEMA.

When I was hired for Redlands it was being alternated between there, or Riverside. My drive from LA was the same time yours from the CV was, but half the distance...I do not miss LA traffic:).

10 to the 210. Traffic... every... morning...

In all reality I didn't do a full two weeks. Us REMS people had days off during orientation when there were a couple days for just ICEMA people. EVOC is still at Fontana speedway.
