Alpha was denied and I don't believe they appealed. The first to appeal was MedLife and the appeals officer referred it back to the licensing board. After Elite was denied, the appeals officer reversed the licensing board's decision and granted their license right away. Based on the reasons for...

I was at all of medlife's hearings, including the appeal. At the latest one, the board brought up the fact that Ambu Life had responded to a call that should have been referred to 911, got in an accident in which the patient was killed. They believe that the Ambu Life management team is still...

It just has to be postmarked by the 31st. I went to the post office today. Since it was closed, I used the kiosk to send it 2 day mail and it printed today's date on the postage. If you drive it to Columbus tomorrow, it is late.

Since reading your post, I have realized there is a lot of patriotism in the marketing of EMS. To be more specific, there are some IFT companies here in Los Angeles that are referencing patriotism in their brand. Companies such as Liberty Ambulance and Patriot Ambulance both use American flags...

If all of the requirements for recertification are met prior to the expiration date (CE's, CPR/ACLS) you have 30 days after the expiration date to send your forms in. You will have to pay an additional $50 in late fees. If you think you can get a job within 30 days, that's the way to go rather...

If you have all of your CE's, CPR and ACLS done before the expiration date, you can still renew your cert for up to 30 days after the expiration date. You just hav to pay a late fee. Hopefully by then you have a job and can get a signature. https://www.nremt.org/nremt/EMTServices/rr_faq.asp#19

From what I have heard is that they have to start over again with another public hearing at the EMS Agency. No guarantees on the outcome of that hearing.

Elite employees have something to be happy about. They got their LA County license this week.

Thanks for the info on MedReach. I also had a few other interviews since then and ended up taking a job with Care. The people seem really nice there and sounds like I could get some good experience. SoCal 911, I really hope that response wasn't meant for me. I asked a legitimate question...

While there is no mandated diversion except in the case of an internal disaster, hospitals that request diversion usually do so for good reason. If we are all on the same team, we should act responsibly and professionally doing our best to honor this request. In California, hospitals cannot go...

This one is the worst...true story. I was on the ambulance and responded to a woman who had a seizure while she was waiting in line for her check at the social security office. The fire department was on scene checking her out and bystanders were saying they watched her have a "full body...

The state of California labor law requires that if the company logo or name is on the uniform then the company must provide the uniform free of charge. Strange that they are making you pay for it right away and I have never heard of an ambulance company doing this. I understand that this is...

Haven't heard anything about First Med as a company but I do know that the ops manager left Americare to go there. Good for Americare, bad for First Med.
