    Looking for work (EMT-Basic in California)

    No problem, I work for Premier. I don't much about Liberty, I think they may do ALS as well. If you re interviewing soon, best advice is to ask them whatever questions you may have, get a feel for the company, and choose whichever one is best or convenient for you.

    Looking for work (EMT-Basic in California)

    I believe some companys do but Premier mainly does 10-hour with a few 8, 11, and 12-hour shifts. Call-wise, you ll be doing the standard dialysis and doctor appointments with ER and discharges thrown in there. Good for gaining knowledge in the medical aspect of EMS though

    Backboarding w/out collar

    In regards to backboarding a patient, do we always automatically use a C-collar if we need to backboard a patient or can we backboard without a collar? For example, say a patient fell and fractured a thoracic bone in the middle of her back but with no specific NECK pain, C-collar? Thanks...
