Its straightforward, good company. Its a growing company that is expanding steadily, good for a first EMT job because they re by the book and focus is always on the patient.
Pay is 10-11 and raises based off of hours accrured. As for the interview, probably standard EMT interview with an exam...
No problem, I work for Premier. I don't much about Liberty, I think they may do ALS as well. If you re interviewing soon, best advice is to ask them whatever questions you may have, get a feel for the company, and choose whichever one is best or convenient for you.
I believe some companys do but Premier mainly does 10-hour with a few 8, 11, and 12-hour shifts. Call-wise, you ll be doing the standard dialysis and doctor appointments with ER and discharges thrown in there. Good for gaining knowledge in the medical aspect of EMS though
Premier (Brea) is a pretty straightforward company. They run IFT BLS and CCT in LA/OC and ALS in OC. Management is straightforward and approachable, staff is cool, steady call volume
Thanks for all the feedback, its much appreciated. Schaefers pomona station is down the street from me but It seems working IFT or AMR Rancho is better than having to deal with poor 911 working conditions.
Out of curiosity, what are some of the negative things your coworkers said about the company? Im trying to do 911 and im looking into schaefer or AMR Rancho
Would anyone have any updated information on this company? I know they run 911 in certain areas but does anyone know their interview process, pay, working conditions, operation setup (BLS calls, running 911, etc)? I appreciate any feedback
Im interested in getting hired with AMR Rancho cucomonga in SoCal and Im curious if anyone knew what types of calls BLS rigs run (hospital transfers, discharges, 911, etc), is there a one and one option (EMT and medic), and what the starting pay is for an EMT-B, the interview process, general...
In regards to assessing oxygen saturation via an electronic pulse oximeter and taking into account the other vital signs, at what percent O2 would you consider upgrading the call to code 3 or ALS?
Thanks for the feedback
In regards to backboarding a patient, do we always automatically use a C-collar if we need to backboard a patient or can we backboard without a collar?
For example, say a patient fell and fractured a thoracic bone in the middle of her back but with no specific NECK pain, C-collar?
Thanks...
Arrive on scene for a c/c of high temp. You find the patient semi-Fowler with a N/C set at 6 LPM. B/P is 58/38, HR is 130, RR is 58, and temp 103.5. After being placed on NRB at 15 LPM, no change in RR. How do you treat taking into consideration the low BP with high RR?
