For all my bowers homies

 

[NPO]

Haha thank you. I'm hoping to find another good job soon.

 

[staedtler]

I used to work there; I didn't stick around long, too many headaches.

 

[Gordoemt]

Yup. Prn and liberty is going to try to help out an pick up some bowers guys.

Rural Metro

I work at Gentle Ride Ambulance and I know a few Bowers guys went to Gentle Ride Ambulance in Glendale. I know we are still hiring a few more people. Company is doing well and just go a couple more new Leader Ambulance Rigs due to slow expansion of the company.

A couple of the medics who were let go had interviews set up for them at PRN and Liberty by Bowers. From what it sounds like they tried to work with a lot of people to make sure they weren't just booted on the street.

Good luck NPO, I was pretty bummed to see a lot of my friends let go.

 

[NPO]

Thanks. Yeah I'm going to try for PRN. You won't see me at liberty. If I don't get picked up by prn or a couple other out of county options I may go to medic school. There is something called like the Workforce Improvement act or something that allows you to be on unemployment to attend medic school.

 

[Gordoemt]

Ya I got off this am and has seen the parking lot coned off in north hills for the job fair. Good luck and keep me posted bro

 

[NPO]

I interviewed today. The guy said he was recommending me as a yes for hire.

 

[Gordoemt]

That's good man. Keep me posted n if you have any questions pm me

 

[bbmtnbb]

Good luck NPO!!! I saw all the people at the job fair - a bunch - I felt so bad for you guys, sure hope a lot can get hired. I love working at PRN. Keep us posted.

CARE called and scheduled an interview. Its a lot further for me, but I want 911 experience before going to medic school, so they will be a contender..

 

[NPO]

I got am offer from PRN today. I am of course grateful for the offer and will take it if CARE does not make an offer soon.

However, I was a little taken aback when I saw they are only offering me the minimum on their EMT hire pay scale. I'm not saying im worth a lot more, but something more than minimum would have been nice.. With my ecperience it should be reasonable. I'm not new out of school and ive got a lot of EMT experience including first responder roles and instruction roles (including my promotion to FTO). Oh well. In this economy I'll take what I can get.

They let a lot of good people go... I knew a lot of them personally.

did they let go most of the employees in long beach and north hollywood or just long beach ?

 

[NPO]

Both.

 

[Rano Pano]

Both.

You decide who you're going with - Care or PRN?

 

[NPO]

I havent heard from Care.... So...
I hope they call soon. I realllllly want to work there.

What about one of the Los Angeles divisions of AMR? Might be a little bit further for you, but Irwindale should be hiring again in a couple of months. Just something to think about if you go with PRN, but prefer some 911 exp.

Hope things work out with CARE though.

 

[NPO]

I thought LACo AMR didn't have 911. Oh. Well Santa Clarita does I guess.

I think I have an app in, but I'll check.

Santa Clarita Palmdale Lancaster but Amr nationwide is hiring part time only for now.
