Hi, I had a question about the typical calls a BLS rig would get in San Diego. I got my emt certification about 2 months ago and I am thinking about applying for a job at South Bay Ambulance. I'm a full time college student and South Bay was the only company I could find that had flexible hours. In fact, the person I called said they have several students working for them part time. (If anyone has any experience with this company, i'd love to know how it is.)
Anyways, the person on the phone said that their EMTs mainly do transport. What does this mean? Would a BLS rig still respond to 911 calls? Or would I just be transferring patients from hospital to hospital? I want to gain experience as an EMT.. use OPAs, NPAs, bag someone etc..... but if my patients are going to be conscious that doesn't seem very likely.
Thanks for reading,
Jason
