If your worried about forgetting what you have learned do some volunteer work. Such as ride alongs with some ambulance companies or even at hospitals. Put in applications in everywhere and keep calling companies every week just to check up on your application status and if there hiring.

I don't know really anything about the Downey area to be honest with you only drivin through it. Find the nearest trauma center to you or any hospital for that matter call them up and see if you can do some volunteer work. Call some fire departments and see about doing a ride along with there Medic units. Make sure you document all the volunteer work you do so when you get an interview you can show them that you have been going the extra mile to get some experiance.

Just to let you know, OP, the reason your card says EMT-I is that they mean EMT-1. Same thing as EMT-B, not the same at EMT-Intermediate (EMT-II for you weird CA people)

Well i don't know what it's like over there, but over here a lot of places won't hire unless your a certain age and have a high level of training.

In seguin Ems is now a part of the fire department
They only hire medics

Akin transfer only hires if you 23 or older

alot of ER's in Southern California wont hire anyone with out at least 6 months to 1 year experience for ER Tech Positions

911 companies are very hard to get into as well, since everyone and their mom wants to work in 911

your best bet would be to work for a IFT company such as Pacific/Bowers Or volunteer at an ER or go on ride alongs with the local Fire Department

Its very frustrating. Especially when this is something you know you want to do for the rest of your life. Not being a EMT_B For life but moving up to being a medic. Its hard, but you just gotta be patient and keep trying.

If this forum is any indication, it's hard cause EMTs and medics are a dime a dozen out in CA
