SF, East Bay, and Peninsula based IFT companies hire pretty constantly. Look into Pro T, Bayshore, Westmed, Silicon Valley, St. Joes... you won't be running 911 (unless they get called into overflow, which is rare) and they pay is probably less than what you make now, although you will get...

so you're an instructor there, or a PR person for their school? or current grad... either way, the program has a horrible rep out in the field here in the bay. keep churning out grads who fail the nremt or have absolutely no clue what they're doing on ride alongs or if they manage to land an...

angry birds cut the rope ^^ very fun!!

Depends on your budget, and place in life. if you're married with kiddos, lower east side might not be that fun for you, but if you're DINKS or a young hip person you might love it there. i lived in: bay ridge, brooklyn (great for families), astoria, queens (great for students), upper west...

:glare: ahem... also, anyone else think OP is just a troll?

but you still have to hold the weight of at least one end while loading it into a rig while the wheels raise, yes? OP- this may not be the career for you- you could probably get through EMT but you may become stalled when it comes to career advancement- for nursing and paramedic there will be...

what part of the city are you thinking of living in?

etoh, methadone, heroin and meth, etoh, stubbed toe, etoh, stop at philz for a mint mocha, stomach pain, back pain, chill and post at dolores park, more philz, back pain, back pain, etoh, etoh, wants to go on a psych hold to avoid jail, pick up a burrito from papalote, etoh, get some four...

Hey just wanted to say thanks for your post in the "eating clean" thread... I think I'm gonna try your plan for a bit- nice making it all ahead of time, takes the choice (and chance to make bad decisions) off the table for a while. Nice. :D

Hi, welcome! I love your avatar, btw. I'll send you a long reply later, im on a 36hr shift now and don't feel like writing it all out on my phone, but I have experience with both places so can offer some insight. Cheers!

Wow, never heard the whiteboard method. that's AWESOME. i learn by writing... such a great idea. i normally just drill flashcards. love this idea, thanks!

heard this too... know some medics interviewing there. GL to all.

you are relentless! i'll have you know i was eating some very delicious beandip at a 4th of july BBQ yesterday and i was thinking "gee, i should really send some to that guy on the ems forum who is always harassing me about beandip"

I'm a big fan of cooking a nice dinner the night before my shift, then noshing the leftovers at work. Here's a healthy, quick one that's easily variable based on whatever you have lying in your fridge: - rinse some quinoa - cook quinoa with a little olive oil and some white wine...

i can't believe i'm getting trolled into replying to this, but here goes... for the last time! if anyone is getting emo over this, it is you, which, after a quick review of your posting history, makes sense. here you are complaining that a company WANTED you to go apply in person (oh, the...

why would you presume to know when or how long ago i was job hunting and applying? i think you're being needlessly argumentative. applying in person worked for me, multiple times over (once for a BLS job and once for an ALS job), and it's also worked so several people i know. hiring...

Disagree with this, I applied in person and had 2 on the spot interviews this way and ultimately 6 job offers from this method. Its easy to nay say abbott it being a waste of time unless you get out there and do it yourself! Ymmv.

apply to companies in person. go around and fill out aps. wear a suit, make a good impression, bring copies of your certs. be prepared to interview on the spot if you hit a hiring manager. go on google maps to find ambulance companies in your area. AVOID craigslist job postings for EMTs-...

really really depends on the location and the job market around you. HOWEVER, since your location says Norcal, I would say work for whatever you're offered.... yes, the market is that flooded. There is no "salary discussion" at most companies here... there is a "here is your offer, and this...
