Almost 5 months. Not a huge amount of time, but if you switch companies you'll notice a huge difference in everything. You'll more or less be learning how to be an EMT again.

Overall how was it?
 
Renal rodeo

Dialysis derby
 
Someone mentioned the term "Renal Round-Up" around here...I've been using that one. I'll definately add these to my list of phrases. A bit off topic, but these are good terms to describe the life-blood of most private SoCal IFT companies.
 
During my time there it was decent to bad. I started with the OC cars and got run quite a bit. Some dialysis but mostly hospital to hospital transfers. Eventually I ended up on LA day cars where we rarely got a call the entire 8 hour period of posting. Idk why they even were in LA with such low volume.

The emt's you work with are awesome people, I only disliked maybe 4 of them total. Management is horrible. Dispatch is untrained and pretty awful. We all complain, but these girls (only women dispatch, 1 guy) are terrible.

I don't know what condition the company is currently in however.
 
I worked for them for a while back jn 2011. Its mindless ift stuff. Mainly dialysis and ift. The dispatchers screw you around constantly. More than any other company I have heard of. And the owner, Gio, is a real jerk. He reminds you regularly that you are disposable. They hire way too many EMT's at once than fire them for stupid stuff as they see fit. I saw a girl almost.get fired for not wearing a belt. All of that for $8/hr. Pm me if you have any questions.
 
I had failed the written test today. Do you guys know if it's an automatic disqualification? I failed the test, but she had still asked me to turn in my H-6 to her (mine was out of date so I needed to submit another one) and call her to see if I was going to get hired.
