Hey, so I don't have to bump the thread: For 24 hours we work on the Kelly Schedule. There's A, B, and C shift. Each shift works 24 hours, then are off for 24 hours. So a work week would be three 24 hour shifts, then you get 4 days in a row off. But you can be held over in between shifts or pick...

Seeing as it's monday, good luck/hope it went well. Good luck!

Exactly why it would depend on where I was going and the pay. When I was desperate for a job, I took an offer from Care which would have been a 75 mile one way trip, either down the 15, 57 or 91. Being stuck in the traffic those routes can offer would have possibly made me rip my face off...

The pay isn't absolutely terrible. Considering EMT schooling only lasts 8 - 16 weeks, having a job that pays nearly $12 an hour isn't bad. It's difficult to find that pay in a job you didn't earn a degree in (in most cases.) Of course, that's what I get paid in SoCal. No idea what the pay is in...

The sad thing is, not everyone is a troll. There are most definitely people dumb enough to do these things haha I wonder how many people call themselves "self-employed EMT's" when they can't pass the NREMT or written exams in hiring processes. Or even background checks, sheesh

During your course, you will most likely be made to abide by dress code guidelines identicle to most rules set forth by local EMS providers. The rules for mine were: If hair is longer than collar length, it must be pulled back. One stud earring per ear (females only), clean shaven, no visibile...

Apologies, I was relying on the threads that were displayed when I began making the thread. I already have my ambulance driver's cert, but LA requires a seperate one. I wasn't even able to find out what it was called, so thanks to those who pointed out it was LA DOT (That was easy)

Hey everyone, got lucky enough to be called for for an interview with a company based in Los Angeles, CA. I'm aware that LA companies require a "certification to drive in LA." But no one has given me specifics on it and Google is failing to help <_< I'm just wondering if anyone here works in...

Thanks guys! Aprz - I live in the biggest county in the country. Our EMS office is about an hour's drive away. I think I'm going to go ahead and call to avoid any confusion/messing up paperwork. This is the site for the agency I'm supposed to go through, Joe. It's very...Minimal. It basically...

It's most definitely an I. So I just remembered that the levels of EMS is being changed (was printed in my course textbook). It said that EMT-I's were becoming "Advanced EMT's" and EMT-B's were simply becoming "EMT's" It just...doesn't make sense. But considering the only paperwork available...

I'm sure these threads are a dime a dozen, but I didn't want to be irritating by bumping an old thread. This question is more so aimed at individuals familiar with San Bernardino County, California, but all advice is welcomed! Alright so, I passed the NREMT last week (yay me). Now I'm...

Hi everyone, You can call me Jay, I'm a girl regardless of the name, I'm 19 and live in Southern California. Fresh out of my EMT-B class and taking my NREMT this Monday (Yes. I'm nervous.) so here's to hoping I do as well as I did in the class! Not only am I new to the EMT field, I've never had...
