Anybody know anything about Guardian EMS around the Dallas area?
 
I see their units driving down the road..


Hope this helps.
 
And their units are ugly as hel!.

OP- There are better options out there, keep searching.
 
I know of a very small and rural municipal third service looking for more ft medics :p
 
I'm thinking about it, JT, trust me.


txmedic... I haven't heard much, if any, good about the Dallas branch of Guardian. There are a handful of other private EMS agencies around here you can give a go.


Though they do pay slightly better than my current employer....

Dominoes pays higher than your current employer..

and you can't leave. :(
 
My boss asked me again today if I'd heard from anyone I know yet :p
 
I don't know about their Dallas operation, but if it's anything like their Madison or Bastrop County operations, I'd strongly urge you to look elsewhere. I've heard plenty of bad things, the only good thing being "well...you'll get some good experience!"

Yeah, experience in how not to do things! The organization is terrible, patient care guidelines minimal, and the overall quality of their medical staff is marginal. While Ricky has enjoyed some success over the years, he has done it with a very minimalistic attitude.
 
Don't know. Have not taken grannies home in a long long time!

Because IFT taking granny home after her UTI treatment is the epitome of excitement ^_^

I honestly do not know how you can handle it. Respect to you man. I do maybe 1 or two transfers a day and they get soooooooooo boring!
 
I don't know how I've done it for the past 6+ months either.


I'm now (again) in the process of applying to a bunch of different 911s, both locally and 2+hours away, AND I'm even considering *gasp* dispatch!

As of right now, I'd rather do a 2hr drive for a 24hr 911 shift than a 1hr drive to a 12hr IFT shift... and honestly I'm not too opposed to moving right now.

Yea, after working my first two MVCs out there I'd say that's right :P a handful of FFs that are not EMT trained standing around trying to 'help', three crew members for several patients and one ambulance until our second out unit got there. It was a blast! :) I loved it but I know a lot of medics I know in ubran NM wouldn't have been able to handle it after being used to having 6+ medics on scene plus a handful of EMTs :p
 
I've worked a few 911 calls in Collin County where my agency does 911, and the vast majority of the time it's a single Paramedic, their EMT, and a bunch of volly FRs.


I think I can handle it :P

Are you wanting to stay in Texas?
 
Yup, I'd much rather stay in Texas. I've grown somewhat accustomed to the culture after 4 years, and my entire immediate family is here. :) That and I already have the state cert.


I've thought of both moving to Colorado, or moving back to Michigan, but I'd have to exhaust all decent agencies in Texas before I move out of the state.
 
Check out Montgomery County Hospital District EMS

It was my last job. Good pay, excellent equipment, and very progressive protocols. It's a tight-run ship but a well-run one. I highly recommend it. I just got tired of the commute (I was living in College Station at the time).
