Moorpark doesn't hire very many EMTs, if any at all. Their system is dual medic with a few 1:1 cars, so most EMTs stay. Santa Clarita and Los Angeles are probably your best bet. 90016 is a new station for AMR LACO so I know they are pushing hard to get units up at that location, try emailing HR...

Which division of LA AMR did you apply for?

I was also contemplating Hemet, about an hour drive from Rancho and I like Rems. Why do you suggest Rems over icema?

Try applying for AMR Irwindale, great place to start and you get to use your skills. And they're hiring

I want to transfer to Ventura, but it's not as easy to get in over there. Plus I may be moving to the IE (approx 5 min from Rancho main)

I've heard that before too, but I believe that was before the new union contract? I'm not sure. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I was wondering if I could ask some questions about the Rancho division. I currently am an EMT out of AMR Irwindale, and did my internship with AMR Hemet (fantastic division), but I'm just waiting for my state paramedic license to come in the mail. I want to transfer to a good division, and...

My friend has cluster headaches, the doctors prescribed her oxygen, so she has a tank in her room and she throws that on when she feels it come on

im the same way, i have to sit there and think about it when i multiply by 4, where as if i count for 30 seconds and multiply by 2, i can get my number real easy. AND, if the pulse is irregular, you will have more opportunity to detect this over 30 seconds rather than 15

ive heard that gerber has lost their santa monica fd contract already

im wondering, does SD fire/rescue have medics as well? or are all the medics private? thanks

i think that age is only a number, and there will be some 16 y/o that can hadle it,and some that cant. its more of a judgement call to me, that's better than being stereotypical about it and saying that all 16 y/o are immature.

all the positions are in south orange county, but its better than nothing

yea, you need to be a working EMT for 6 months to a year to get into most paramedic schools. required. just keep applying to everywhere. try different counties too, if youre close to san diego, try there, or san bernadino. dont try orange county there's really no jobs there ahaa
