Okay thank you
Okay will do , they said they were but we will see since I have to take a thomas guide test , and a skills test as well . Thank you! I have it with firstmed in sun valley they are a 911 company with long beach fire so I'm super stoked about it !
Nice I hear good things about them so, and you're gonna be working 911 calls so congrats on the interview. But pay scale wise I hear that working 911 calls are not that good, but iono maybe it will be good, but I know the experience you will get it gonna be amazing so congrats on getting the interview. I'm sure you'll do fine just relax, just be yourself, and you'll be fine
. If you want some more info about working the So Cal area I started a thread about working in So Cal so check it out if you want some advice and prospective from other people.Good luck and keep us posted on how it went. http://emtlife.com/threads/best-ambulance-company-to-work-for-in-so-cal.41991/
I hate to be the poster to burst your bubble, but FistMed isn't a primary 911 responder...not sure where you got the Ling Beach part, since a cursory check of FirstMed's website says nothing of that sort, only that they do national level disaster support after being activated by FEMA....so don't get burned out expecting to do 911 calls all day long and instead find yourself doing hospital discharges, doctors appointments, dialysis, etc calls instead. In fact, IFT companies, IMO are great place to learn general ambulance operations, interacting with real patients, touching them, assessing them, doing vitals (it's one thing in class to check the BP of your 20 year old classmate calmly sitting next to you, completely different on 90 year old grandma in the back of an ambulance filled with road noise bouncing down the 405...) reading/writing reports, interacting with nurses and all other health care providers at multiple levels in and out of the hospital.....etc etc
The manager I talked to stated they did 911 and hardly any Ift if at all any with long beach fire . I have Ift experience already but I'm trying to get my 911 experience for a paramedic program I want to go to . I was thinking a blazer and slacks I'm dreading wearing it in this 90 degree weather but have no choice since I have a full sleeve to cover .
Ive applied to both care and Mccormick I had someone tell me Mccormick was a sexist company towards females but I have yet to recieve a call back from both yet. Sun valley is far for me but they said only the pre hiring testing takes place there and they would put me in there longbeach station
