That would be Gerber. Used to work for them. this info current as of July 2013

Did anyone take have an appointment this week that remembers what was on the written? I got a buddy going in on Friday for the written who asked me what subject matters he should specifically focus on studying in preparation for the exam. Since I have a horrible memory and couldn't remember...

Very true! I did think about that. Even though my opinion of my supervisors request to inform him first before reporting are already known... and if my supervisor is imposing the company's will with the reporting either to secure calls or any other reason; because the hospital RN reported it and...

Mandated reporter was the word I was looking for early this morning... and this post of yours states exactly what I was attempting to say in the previous post. Spot on JPINFV

Company policy does not override law. I may be new to this company but I'm not new to knowing when something isn't right especially when it's as obvious as it was with the elder abuse. I cant remember, but If I didn't drop that story in this thread I'll type it up tomorrow for anyone and...

Code 3 (not too worried) Reporting- if he was imposing this regarding inexperienced self-righteous emt's I'd understand, would I agree no... however, I'm arguing against that policy on the basis of: the law states witnessed or suspected abuse should be reported. all of which is confidential...

The problem I have with what was said wasn't as much with the code 3 (although that added to it), but the main issue was when my supervisor said, "you go through me before you report anyone. You only suspected them, you didn't see gross negligence or abuse (i.e. the staff throwing a resident to...

100% agree. And it may be time for me to look elsewhere for work until medic school starts since I had an interesting conversation with my supervisor today. He basically said: you're new with this company and need to earn the right to rush code 3. followed with: You don't call ALS or report...

El encanito or something like that in whittier

Good reply! Your right about on-scene time. That story about MEDLIFE is nuts! SNF's might think they're sly, but when my certifications are on the line with certain calls - it's just not worth it. As an EMT-1 going to medic school, any sort of investigation is too risky... not to mention the...

Im in oc and laco and Geez! seems like one shady call after another sometimes, then goes thru a week or so of actual bls calls. I get money is the name of the game for ift companies, and all the blame obviously would fall on the emt, but damn, at least authorize code 3 if vs become worse en...

I got an interview tomorrow. I have pretty much applied everywhere. Hoping for a job in the ER tho. Where are you a scribe at?

Did you go to the interview? are you currently working there? Any update would be good as I have an interview on Wednesday. Thanks

Back in 2009, the only way to get certified was through the NREMT. Now a days I don't know what the pre certified EMTs have to do... My question is: should I include being certified by NREMT (first attempt) in 2009 and it just recently expired 3/31/12?

Thanks! Quick question about CARE though.... They have two slots for applications which both appear to have the same qualifications: EMT driver and EMT attendant. Any difference besides the obvious between the two?

Hello all, I certified in December 2009 and (like a fool) didn't do anything with it. In 2010, I moved to Las Vegas for college and now I'm back in Southern California. I recently re-certified both with CA and the OC EMS and figured a cover letter would be of great use and benefit to me. So...

From Northern California but, currently live in north Orange County. So, I'm looking for jobs down in the northern OC or souther LAco area. However, if a job in northern CA with relatively decent pay and good experience running 911 calls was open and I could get hired I would definitely go back

I'm certified, but have no experience. Are there any 911 responding companies that hire EMTs with no experience? Also, does anyone know of any hospitals that hire with no experience?

Thanks for the replies. Yes it's Premier... but, regardless I heard this is a good foot in the door type company into gaining some sort of experience as an EMT (I could be wrong)

Did you interview with them or have one lined up?
