Just thought it was unnecessary, but got it, thanks guys

Sup guys, Is it ok to write a patient’s full name in your PCR narrative? My partner does that and I’ve never seen that before. For ex., he’d write “dispatched to transport 45 yo male named John Doe...” and continues to address patient using their last name.

Couldn’t you still use those as backboards tho? Just need belts

Yes but I have encountered situations where a bed can’t be moved from the wall and bed is very small, so we usually draw sheet but have to get on bed. I was wondering if there was a way to move patient without getting on the bed. I never twist, but I would assume if I were to lift a patient...

Are you referring to Progressive Liberty Ambulance? I applied to that one as well and I believe they are in Ridgecrest.

Hello VentMonkey, Thanks for reading some of my posts and trying to help me out as best as you can. On my other posts, I just felt like I needed more information and created this post with more specifics. If that make sense to you?

I applied to all of Liberty's CA locations and was not selected. Thanks though.

Yes, this helps a lot. If you have the time to answer, what is it about the scope of practice in Kern County that makes it more enjoyable than other counties? I am familiar with only Santa Clara County and LA County because those are the areas I've lived in. I applied to Hall and was not...

Hello, With NC, are you referring to NorCal or North Carolina or something else completely different? Also, thanks for your input.

Thanks, this was really helpful.

I applied to Hall Ambulance and failed the behavioral assessment test. I applied all over CA, and have interviews with both companies and just wanted to compare both of them side by side. Thought I could get some in-depth information about them here.
