My apologies. I overlooked that part. I’ll call down there tomorrow. It expired in 2010. I’ve been only certified through the state since. I’m just outside of Evergreen.

Hey, everybody. So, I’m still dealing with this. Can someone confirm that I can be admitted into the NREMT if I just do a refresher course and skills in Ca? I moved out here to CO and figured I’d just retake the course since CO scope is so much more than Ca. Well, the local JC wants $5k for...

I’d stay away from OC. Not that the operation is bad or the culture is different, but I’d much rather run calls with LACFD than OCFA. My personal opinion is that the SGV is a good place to start. There’s a lot of diversity in the areas that Care now covers. You can run calls in sleepy San...

As I understand it, since you only have your NR, you don’t need any reciprocity. You’ll just have to go down to your local EMS agency and get their certification. Your national registry is good everywhere.

How old were you when this happened?

I would shy away from an hour commute for a part-time position, but does anyone think he should get a little time in the rig before jumping into medic school? What's your PCT experience? Are you working as an ER tech or are you up on the floor being a sitter or doing other ancillary duties?

I've always had a lot of respect for what Mr. Hall built and the working environment he created for his employees. My condolences to the entire Hall Ambulance family.

From what I've heard, Basics work mostly events and standbys. To be back on a rig you need to be an intermediate or medic. EMTs working at the casinos as EMT/Security make about $14-15/hr. I don't know what the starting wage for the field is, but I was talking to a couple former Medicwest...

I think SB is $14/hr and RVC is $18/hr.

Stand in the machine. Push hard and fast.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Looks like I'll be tracking down a refresher course. To anyone reading this, don't lost your national registry go. It's way more of a hassle to get back than to keep.

I let my NREMT-B lapse 8yrs ago. Have been working in SoCal EMS the whole time on my state card, but now, since CO doesn't have reciprocity, I need to get my NR back to move. I've read through the NREMT site and just don't get it. I need to take a refresher course, skills, plus a boatload of...

Do some time at Care or McCormick then get an AO job with one of the FDs.

Cool. Thanks.

I'm also interested in this info, since I may be moving to CO in the near future.

The job is not for everybody. There's nothing wrong with doing some soul searching and hanging up the towel, if you feel that's what's best for you. In a perfect world, what would you want to do as a career?

If I know AMR, you all will be getting those Horace Small shirts.

Everyone here has real good advice for you to consider. Given the two choices, I'd pass on lifeline and go with Doctor's. You could do better than doctors (Hall, Care, Lynch), but you could do a lot worse than doctors (Lifeline). You won't be doing more than driving between two hospital...

You'll be doing mostly IFT at Doctors. What's the IFT company?

Which WestMed?
