dont know how it is there but LA County's it
1-written test
wait till they call you back, if they do lol
2- 1 on 1 oral medical test with an RN
2- trauma assessment with a dummy.
3- interview with ops and admin sup.
then they call you and offer you a job or not. I you get one you need...
It seems like as soon as the new year started the call volume has been outrageously high. Non stop in my area. I don't know what it is. My company has been breaking our highest call volume record constantly this past month.
My question is, is it just us orrrrrrrrrrrr is all of EMS blowing...
PRN is probably one of the best only IFT companies in LA County right now. I wouldn't do Mercy unless you want to be ran by Dialysis calls.
Basic questions for all interviews. What have you done to prepare. What will you add to this company. Give me some of your strengths and weaknesses. Why...
California law states that you need a single steady burning red light on the from of your rig to drive code 3, but i do see some 911 companies that don't even have that but I wont get into that.
And as far as Compton Fire I think they are going to be switching to a squad and private ambu...
On point, i used to work for a small IFT companies and many times these SNFs will call us to transport pt to an ER and when we get load them up their condition goes to sh*t and we are forced to call fire due to our protocol and fire just hopes on board with us or en route we up grade to code...
Use the website he just gave you. Those flash cards are VERY similar to the questions on the test. You should be fine with that. Also you will need to retake the first part of you regular drivers test before the ambu test at the DMV.
So the 911 bids are around the corner and ive been hearing many rumors about some companies losing/gaining 911 area.
some things ive heard are, AmeriCare will lose all 911 maybe to CARE or McCormick, Cole Schaefer will lose the Foothills to AMR and some of they're Pomona Area to CARE...
One thing I LOVE to do in those situations is just bare with the rudeness and at the end in a soft tone of voice and a huge smile look at them and say,"Thank you for your time and have a WONDERFUL day."
It makes them more angry but all you did is say something polite. :D
anddd you leave...

PART TIMERS get to chose 2-3 set day cars for each week. that shift is yours until you drop it. You are able to pick up open shifts Day cars or 24hr shifts for OT and they do a lot of stand by events (...
I work for a 911 company in la county and on a basic 911 call, ex: sob, C/p, vomiting, ALOC. We respond and you also get the squad which is the two medics and a truck/quint or engine.
As far as getting into a 911 company (IN LA COUNTY) AMR,CARE, or McCormick is the way to go. Iv'e heard torrance fire hates gerber and Americare is close to losing their coverage area, but don't quote me on that. Also heard that both are not ableto make pt contact until fire is on scene, AGAIN...
