Amazingly enough, our night was actually pretty decent, total of 4 transports, had a call at like 1am for a walk up to the fire station across from the hospital but that turned into a public assist and we got cancelled, then didn't get another run till 5am which required the use of CPAP, and the oncoming crew was here early and able to take the 0645 call so we were able to clock out on time.......so does that just mean we're gonna get ran with 15 calls tomorrow? Lol
 
If I'm gonna watch a medical show, it pretty much has to be one of those where they have the cameras in a real live ER someplace COPS style (which pretty much seems to always be either England or Australia, or the occasional NYC or Boston lol), I don't even like the one where the Docs tell the story reality show confession booth style with reenactments, that's as bad as the straight up scripted stuff which always gets the same reaction^ from me lol. It's the same way with military tv shows, I can't watch 90% of them without doing this:

Hmm a county somewhat local to me is hiring. It's tempting

I just talked to one of the senior staff at SCEMS, they're looking at hiring around 12 in the next few months. If you want to work in DE, now is the time.
 
I'm just not cut out for urban or suburban 24s.
 
24's would be one major reason why i'd never go into EMS full time. I work 8-10 hr shifts on my once every other week type schedule, and I maybe have 1 hour cumulative "off", however thats also because i don't have much paperwork either. I would never ever be able to last through a 24 hr shift.
 
Depends where I would work. At RAA, the shift I want goes for 16 and with urban EMS that's as long as I would want to work. I've done it a few times and I'm usually pretty tired at the end. I wouldn't mind a rural 24 though.

I'm not either. But a rural 48 I'm ok with

We work 24s and are suburban... we also have enough resources so that they're not stand-up 24s.

Recently our 24s aren't standup but the calls come in so we really don't get any rest. Like every two hours or less.

I work semi rural 24's. Luckily I sleep through the night more than not.

I work a 16 and a 24 each week. The 16 is Wednesday nights, 5p - 9a and the 24 is Saturday at our more rural station. I work the set kelly shift, so I'm filling a truck that would normally have a crew off. I gotta say, I much prefer this type of schedule to almost anything else I've ever worked.

The Wednesday nights are usually busy, but you get a few hours of sleep in there. And the occasional no hitter. Saturdays are usually pretty mellow, but the calls I do get are usually more acute. It's a good mix.
 
Our 24s split the difference between "usually a few hours in-house" and "a call every 1-2 hours".

That would be the definition of a stand-up 24.

I always used the term standup meaning no downtime at all
