True. The Falck NW general manager left strait from RM. The guy I've been told has a reputation for promising all sorts of crazy things to get business and not following through. The CEO of Falck US was fired from RM and brought Falck to the NW it seems to carry out a vendetta on RM. Falck...

Hey, I also have looked into working in Oregon and at Metrowest. Can you tell me why they have the nickname murderdeath, if that's actually a thing? Do they have a bad rep? Or management? Or what?

Wow, never thought a thread started by me would stir up so much controversy :P As far as A hole patients, in my experience I have found that being obnoxiously nice to them, asking them to talk to you etc will make them settle down. Which EMS, fire and police should all be doing anyway..

I'm sure we've all fantasized about it but what was going on in this dude's life to make him actually snap and do it? http://m.clickorlando.com/news/brevard-county-paramedic-accused-of-abusing-disabled-patient-has-charges-reduced/33554616

Yeah man go for it, one guy I know who did that course is now a FF/medic in Eastern WA. So really it doesn't matter too terribly much where you go to school.

First off, R/M in piece County is NOT fancy. Neither is AMR, or really any other private place haha. Falck though, also not fancy, is hiring medics like crazy right now and a guy I talked to who works there says they start at 40,000 a year. Probably like 16 an hour? They run maybe 2 calls in...

Rural/Metro starts around 15. pretty sure Olympic in Bremerton is 15, no 911 ALS for them though.

they don't run with paramedics though. although if you wanted to go the CCT RN route there is that: Northwest Ambulance, plus Rural/Metro, AMR, and Tri med who do CCT as well. but you need like 3-5 years experience as an RN in an ER and/or ICU..

unfortunately to be a medic in King County you have to either be with a FD for 3 or more years or apply through King County Medic one. KCMO is third service, no fire fighting, pay is awesome. But hard to get into. Other third service ALS includes Skagit County medic one, North Country EMS...

There are also quite a few Snohomish fire districts that accept volunteers. Districts 1, 4, 14, 27 etc. and North County fire rescue. Stanwood Fire. don't know how flexible volunteer schedules are. If you're looking for good 911 experience, R/M and Falck's Sno/king operation and...

actually Skagit County medic one is just as legit as King County. if not better. king County is too isolated from the outside world imo. not that i would ever turn down a job offer from them.. there's also North Country EMS in yacolt, WA, third service, starts medics at $18 or something...

I believe they are primary up in Sequim? so that's cool. actually if you look hard enough, there's decent amount of jobs for paramedics. you will just need to shell out the $ to test... NTN, PA, bates etc

Hey yall, Seeing if anyone has info on Metro West in Oregon. I hear they're pretty good? Anyone know anything about pay? Schedules? Management? Contracts ? Also for medics, is it true you need an AA to work in Oregon? What about basics?

Falck nw is completely run by old rural metro management who field crews were not fans of at all. So basically people are just going to be working for rural metro all over again

Hey yall, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about remote medical? Just curious what kind of stuff they do, where, general info, etc?

I think the name says it all: GREEN!

Lots of girls will stare at you in your uniform if you're a guy. Just saying! :P

Long story short, you cannot work as a medic in king county without going through the king county medic one program. Try literally any other county in the state though!

AMR contracts with Seattle for BLS 911. When a call goes out an engine or ladder responds first. If BLS transport is needed they call for AMR. If it's an ALS call Seattle medics get called for. I believe Seattle medics only are auto dispatched to codes. Trimed does not do 911 in Seattle but has...
