Texas EMS Jobs

[RocketMedic]

Anyone have any tips/leads for part-time paramedic work around Fort Worth?

Lifeguard Ambulance opened an IFT operation up there, Acadian is still growing.

any info on Acadian operations in Dallas? i am assuming they are mainly IFT, but ANY 911 contracts? i know dallas fire is the main one and AMR has a few contracts..

btw: i'm new to the area, so sorry for my lack of knowledge...

edit: they seem to be the only company willing to hire somebody in the process of having their EMT license transferred to TX (from out of state)

Acadian is all IFT in the metroplex.

 

[brian328]

only options to run 911 in DFW would be medstar, amr, dallas fire, some careflite divisions, and some small county run EMS?

Acadian has 911 operations in Orange county, which I believe is in east or southeast Texas. They took it over from
Metrocare, yes the same Metrocare that is currently operating in Abilene, Tx they Metrocare from what I understand isn't even complying with their contracts running 3 trucks when they are supposed to be running 5 from what I understand.

orange county is too far for me, i just moved to dallas... from orange county, CA. but it sounds like acadian may take over the abilene contract if they keep it up.

Brand new EMT-B in deep south Tx here, looking to find an IFT or 911 job while I go to school for medic [which starts at the end of the month]. Any suggestions as to companies near Weslaco or Mcallen?

If Acadian took over the Abilene contract there would be so many emts and medics in Abilene.

Metroscare (I meant MetroCare) was always an "interesting" operation when they were in Austin. However, I'll always be grateful to them for having EMT-B and EMT-P classes at night in Austin when no one else was offering them. You can thank (or curse) them for my paramedic patch. One year of night classes while working full-time in a non-EMS field got me there.

by chance does anyone know of any EMS and Fire services around DFW area that are progressive with there protocols?
