    Phlebotomy Class

    Thanks for the feedback guys. After talking to the CCT nurses I work with and a few other people I've decided to just bite the bullet and take the class. I'm going to try to look at the cost of tuition as an investment.

    Should I switch careers?

    ^^^What he said. If you have the time and money to waste, then sure do it for sh*** & giggles but honestly you can accomplish that same feeling of helping others by becoming a nurse. And by the sounds of your education level, you might as well go that route or something similar but definitely...

    Bowers hourly pay?

    I've worked for Bowers since November of last year and YES, you need to absolutely keep a daily shift log of your SOS/EOS and missed meals. They mess up on timecards A LOT.:glare:

    Hate to beat a dead horse...

    Bowers is a good company overall, they have their pros and cons just as any other company. I've worked there since November 2011 and have complaints just like anyone else. Regarding your concerns about burning bridges, yes, some degree of this is true, but you need to realize that the world of...

    Newly certified EMT-B looking for job in LA County

    I have worked for Bowers since November 2011 and have my pros and cons about them. Sadly, I wish I could say the big takeover from Rural Metro has done us worlds of good, but that's yet to be seen for the most part. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy working there, just a lot of politics and drama...

    Bowers Ambulance?

    I've been with Bowers Ambulance since last November 2011 and I have as most people do my pros and cons about working there. Overall, (based on what I've heard in comparison to other companies), I love working there. We have a huge contract with Kaiser which has it's pros and cons. One problem I...

    Phlebotomy Class

    Hi all, I've been working for my ambulance company for almost a year now, however I'm thinking of moving into the hospital to work as an ER tech, but also want to further pursue other career options that aren't far from my career path of firefighter (I might eventually, maybe, go to medic...

    Tattoos with Bowers/Pacific?

    Wow you guys just don't stop, do you? I wasn't becoming defensive because I was getting feedback to a debate that I allowed myself to engage in, I was becoming defensive because my points all kept being taken out of context among other things and I lost the desire to go in this back and forth...

    Tattoos with Bowers/Pacific?

    Wow, I really am proving my own point here I guess, aren't I? I didn't come here to have debates (this wasn't a conversation). And it doesn't surprise me that you're gonna claim that whole "I'm being the better person" :censored::censored::censored::censored: here because why not? It gives you...

    Tattoos with Bowers/Pacific?

    Instead of responding to the last two individuals who posted a reply, I'll simply say this- this has clearly become one of those, "I'll have the last word if it kills me" sort of scenarios and this back and forth nonsense is absolutely not what i joined this forum for. I joined so I could ask...

    Tattoos with Bowers/Pacific?

    You people really are so eager to lace into someone else with an opinion that doesn't jive with yours that you must skip a lot of the reading. I NEVER SAID anyone needs to believe in my same opinion of tattoos let alone agree. This thread didn't even have the intention of it going to this point...

    Tattoos with Bowers/Pacific?

    Well first of all, who said I was complaining? At least not about what you were referencing to. I'm just curious, did any of you know that there have been many reputable surgeons with full sleeve tattoos, working alive and well today? I just thought id throw that in there so you wouldn't think...

    Tattoos with Bowers/Pacific?

    LOL, anyone wanna mustache ride? :rofl: You'd be the mayor of creep town if you approached your patients like that, haha You're right, that is weird. But realistically it isn't any weirder than that whole only 25% of your tattoo can be showing rule that someone else mentioned in this thread.

    Tattoos with Bowers/Pacific?

    I'm assuming the same problem with tattoos, it's looked at as being associated with unprofessionals apparently :cool:
