Hello all, Westmed Ambulance is currently hiring Paramedics for our Santa Clara County division. If you are interested please feel free to PM me. Thanks!

Actually, in counties like Santa Clara that have private companies who run ALS, you can respond code 3 as long as a doctor is requesting it (for example, out of an urgent care). Generally this only applies to ALS and CCT, not BLS.

That entire post sounded very vague. Can you better explain what you are talking about? How are they changing the industry? What contracts do they have? What are the "good things" you've heard? Honestly your post just sounded like an advertisement. Also, I heard AMR just got an extension on...

We had this issue come up when we hired some people a few months back, and per Santa Clara County EMS they are acceptable for accreditation in their county. SCC is pretty strict so I imagine other counties would be the same.

Well they are not currently hiring medics, but will probably in the near future. We just got a lot of new contracts in Santa Clara County and will be needing to expand our staff. What info were you looking for? Also if you started out as an EMT you could easily upgrade when a position opens...

I am both a patient transporter and an ER Tech at a hospital in Norcal. Don't know about the rest of the country, but I wouldn't even bother applying anywhere until I AT LEAST had my EMT cert. I'm actually a medic, and thats the only reason I got the job. They love people with EMS experience. I...

I can confirm that they are starting up operations in Contra Costa County in Norcal, but I have no idea what their plans are.

Oh man, I wish I could still do cardio on my off days. Maybe once i'm more used to the program, but for now i'm usually way too sore/tight to do anything but stretch the day after a crossfit workout.

Haha not yet, but getting close! How is Rural going by the way? I'm hearing mixed reviews about them.

i've been doing crossfit now for a little over a month, and I love it. It's intense, fast paced and i'm in and out of the gym in no time. This works great with my hectic work schedule. Plus, the workouts are always different so i'm never bored. check it out at www.crossfit.com
