If I am going to have two EMT state licenses (New York and California) and I need to renew them at the same time. Could I take the 24 hours EMT refreshener course in California to renew both California and New York EMT License OR I need to take one 24 hour class in California and another 24 hour...

I applied in Gerber Ambulance and they are offering me $9 to be an attendant and $10 for being a driver and they do 911 calls. I declined there offer because the pay is too low, and plus they do a lot of work under pressure. They charged people $500-$1000 per trip and all I get is $10 on that.

Most ambulance companies in LA.

I have passed my NREMT last 2009 and got my NREMT and LA-EMT license. Then, I worked in the hospital and several ambulances until my 1st issued license expired last March 2011. Then, I have renewed my 2nd issued license and it will expire on 2013. I got tired working in Ambulance Companies...

Regards on CE's, are you talking about the 24 hours EMT Refresher Course that some EMT usually take to renew there license?

Why do you guys care about who is the best Ambulance company who would get 911 calls contract if your pay check will be the same. It does not make any sense.

Hello, I am wondering if I would have any issues in renewing my Los Angeles County and National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician Certificate if I am currently working as a Hospice Care Giver. I have submitted my EMT Certificate to my employer which he might be needed me in taking care...

There is a company that I start working that we are only allowed to take breaks while posting. The problem is what if they let us work for more than 12 hours without posting because it is a busy day, and we as a EMT-Drivers (except EMT-Attendants) have no time to eat our lunch and dinner. We...

I am an EMT but sometimes I think that this career is not worthy. Spending a couple of bucks to get your CPR Class, take and pass your EMT Class, pass the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technician, applying and spending money for your State or County License, do your live scan and...

If you live in California, don't do it. I heard that you need to be AT LEAST a Fire Fighter Paramedic to get hired and there were 3500 applicants in LAFD and they would only accept 3. You are lucky if you won the raffle ticket to be picked. Plus if they don't like your performance they will fire...

Yeah but 2 weeks of training is short especially for those people just got out from school and never been exposed in any EMS stuff except for just reading the book.

The company hired 4 people who just got out from school and they have 2 weeks to pass both attendant and driver which also includes there probationary period. Ending 1 guy got fired for failing the attendant and drivers training, and 2 of them including my friend got fired for passing the...

Yeah, he is in probationary period but if he get fired does he get a permanent bad record in his EMS career?

There is a company in Los Angeles that hires people and if you failed the Ambulance Attendant training or the Ambulance Driver training or both in 2 weeks, you can get fired. And if so, does it reflect as a bad record to your employment career and to your EMT Career? I have a friend who passed...

This is the best way to get fired.
