Lol just imagine how the women feel
I've actually been pleasantly surprised with the women I've met. With one notable exception that i try not to think to much about.

After reading that thread on gloves I realized, it is nice being able to choose between 3 different types of gloves supplied by the company and the 1 type that the hospitals have.
Me too. A year of BLS was more than enough for me :glare:
People at AMR need to stop taking everything for granted. I tell this to every partner that start complaining about there; highest paying emt 911 private company job, with all new technology (power gurney,tough book,etc), half a case of waters before shift, comfort stations, and unlimited OT.
I'm not saying you do, but just stirred my mind.

To be fair, it's hard to get better... once you get over the fact that she's currently a Dalek.

Comfort stations not so much (my unit not at all) and yep free water plus an ice chest to keep everything cold. Plus a lot of other perks from management.
Honestly 2 person lifting is the best although most people don't. It is worse if you both dont lift right, but once you guys have it down it makes everything extremely light and easy.
I def understand the school thing. Hey AMR reimburses us up to 1k per semester I believe for school. Another good thing. Not much but people forget it is there.
Ya ALS units have SSM so its understandable but for BLS, it can't be any easier. And little perks like I've said above^
We don't have power gurney's for BLS. And our BLS out here dont get stations either, we post SSM just like ALS.

The 1k is only for medic school and you also have to sign a 2 year contract with the company saying you will work full time as a medic for the company for 2 years.
When I went thru orientation we were told the 1k was not being offered anymore.

You may want to consider getting a job at a hospital as a tech. A few of the guys I work with went through medic school that way. At my hospital you get $4500 a year.

Sounds a bit like my place of work. They could give us all 10000 bonus checks and we would complain about having to walk allllll the way into the office to pick them up.

As much as I wouldn't mind the pay the hospital setting is not for me. I would much rather take the lower pay and be out in the field. When I start medic school I'm paying my whole way through. I am not going to sign any contracts with anyone. No student loans and no student aid (from what I heard its alot of steps for it and more then likely I won't qualify for it).
In fact the only thing I like about the hospitals aside from the hot nurses and cool air are a couple of the doctors that are extremely funny.
And a lot of the others suck
. Ofificially signed a contract for ROTC, and I'm in the ambulance core at my college. I haven't been on a lot due to socializing, and training. I hope you're all doing awesome, and that everything is great. I fully intend to read through this thread tonight.

I don't even know why I pay for health insurance. 9 times out of 10 it doesn't cover anything I would need.
