Hello all, I am starting to look into taking the next step in EMS and want to start to compile a list of paramedic programs in southern & northern California (specifically orange, riverside, LA or San Bern counties for socal and around the Sacramento area for northern California). If it helps: I...
And this is with care I presume? To go off what parasite was saying we have a population that for the most part is insured. So I presume that is where they get this idea that fire brings in more.
Anyways we don't do much IFT in riverside we stick to OC/LA I swear it was almost guaranteed that...
Where abouts are you working? We have a 24 similar to that where its a mix of ift/911 and its a 24, that shift was horrendous. We count it as a fire car but by no means is dedicated. They are around most of the days during the week because of day cars running ift only. On the weekends they are...

Wont go into it much due to topic of this thread but goal is FF/Medic.
is there a study that gives a timeline as too how many days it takes to...

Well, I dont plan on being an EMT long enough to let the kool aid run out. ;) What did you sign up for then? A guaranteed amount of sleep every shift would sure be nice but from my standpoint its a business and cant feasibly provide this. I guess EMS should just take a break from 11pm to 6am in...
