Hello everyone, I don't post often but am curious if anyone has any information about AMR in San diego. They are hiring medics and I was curious if anyone knows the pay, scheduling, difficulty of getting hired or any other information. Also is Rural Metro in San Diego hiring? The HR there never answers a phone or email. any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
San Diego paramedic jobs?

They pay $10.91 an hr for 24 hour shifts, horrible pay for the cost of living. DO NOT move to San Diego to work as a Medic, I moved away from there because of the System and the pay. THey work a Kelly Schedule, and when I left 2yrs ago there was a waiting list to go through the testing process.

$10.91???? Damn, that's $10.01 more than I'm making now, 
LOL
Yeah, there are so many peeps here that they can pay next to nothing and SOME damn fool will take it.
Rural Metro and AMR both are hard to get into here. Rural, as I've been told usually doesn't hire Medics directly, they promote within, so if you already work as a B, and go to school and get your P, then you have a shot.
I agree with Fish, if you don't have to, don't move here then look for a job, if you're dead set on comin here... get the job first, (good luck) and then move.

im wondering, does SD fire/rescue have medics as well? or are all the medics private? thanks
They have Medics on their engines, but the medics on the box are rural metro employees.
