I did my para internship there. AA is a busy system and they cover a large area. I don't have any answers for your interview but I can tell you if they are hiring outside their own program than that is a good thing for you. When I was there they weren't accepting outside interest due to the fact...

(first off this is my opinion and also from the Tulsa side of life. Note Tulsa EMSA is different in many ways from OKC and I have only worked for OKC once so this is strictly for the Tulsa side) Thinking of EMSA??? well then think hard and get your info right before making the jump in. If you...

On the paramedic side.... Does anyone have any opinion about DHPD (Denver Health Paramedic Division) Has anyone worked for them or know what kind of hours they run?

don't forget St. Joseph's ambo co in San Rafael. I'm pretty sure if you show up to the interview and put on a smile and positive attitude you'll get hired. 98% of your calls will be IFT in SF. they run 12 and 24's - 24's will be available if you've been there a long time, like 4=6 months. I...

I'm sure a ton of things have changed in 10 years guy. why don't you work as a emt for a while before you go right into medic school. how do you know being a medic after all this time is really what you want to do?

Yup, I am. I hate sitting on my butt. I want to work and I keep telling this CM that I know there are plenty of ppl on work disability that are 100% ok with milking this process, I am NOT. Anyway, good news they are eventually going to take care of this for me... bad news I just gotta wait...

ok, cool, cool. I wasn't sure. I know I'm not known here, I didn't know if someone figured out my real identity on here. I too have been MIA at work. Injured my knee on a call and been sitting on my butt waiting for this slooow *** 3rd party claims adjuster to get me into surgery... I swear the...

TRSpeed, who are you asking?

Rocketmedic40.. So far I like it here... thanx for you detailed info about this place and the differences from Cali to mid west...Although I do miss the beach/ocean and surfing... I figure I can always move back in time to a surf friendly area. The experience here is great. In the 2 weeks I...

During my internship I was getting my sample opqrts on a pt that was "just feeling weak" nothing else.. I asked her " on a scale of 1-10 how weak are you?" God I felt so stupid when I realized what I asked her. I then looked up at my preceptor with him shaking his head at me trying not to...

My 2 cents, I did my Paramedic internship with American Ambulance in Fresno. They are a legit company and are primary EMS 911. All fire is BLS and most of them are hell'a cool to work on scene. The scope is pretty limited but you will definitely get your experience down there. I ran more...

Bay area California, to Oklahoma Tulsa bound, God damit I hope I'm doing the right thing. ..blaaaashhhhhhh

Yup, my lady and my dog. But she and my pooch are going to come out after I settle in a bit. Like after I get through the academy and know where to live and all that. I don't want any distractions and she's gotta wrap things up here.

Cool, Yeah a "5 call" is when a company kinda throws you to the wolves, i guess. You do a orientation then FTO time but you gotta do "5 or 10" different ALS calls on your own to prove you can run on your own, kinda thing. I just applied. But like I said before. I'm really on a time crunch...

...you don't say.... ? hmmm Does REMSA do a academy or is it just orientation then a 5 call???
