24/72 with one extra shift per 4 week rotation. I like it as long as I never work any overtime.

3 straight days. 12 hours. no rotations. Most of us are assigned specific days and it works out well. were a small company 30 employees I believe and most of us know if we need a day off we can accommodate each other with a shift swap. Its also nice as you always got the same partners. and we can work well with each other.

4 tours, A, B, C & D. A and C are days, B and D are night.
staffing is 2 12 hrs trucks 6 to 6, and 2 12 hrs trucks 7 to 7, along with 4 power trucks (12-12, 2p to 2a, and 6:30a to 6:30p). day schedule is starting on a monday CCCAACCAAACCAACCC, with Wednesday being a mix day of all the tour, and throw in an extra day on every 4 weeks. Nights is the same, except you replace C with D and A with B.
It sounds confusing, but with WhenToWork, it's really pretty simple.

Because we have the monopoly of the county contract and no one else is allowed in we do 911 and all the IFTs so the "power car" is primarily designated for IFTs but will respond to 911s too. They get priority on calls over other units which is OK with me.
Yea...pretty much. I've never done it, only worked a handful of them but I've heard of people transporting asystolic arrests before on the HPC. Also not unusual to hear them snatch and grab seizure patients either.
There's a reason I don't pick up those shifts very often.
Fastest I've ever done it was 5.5 hours. Fastest it's ever been done by anyone was a hair over 4 hours. Brings real meaning to "turning and burning".

My old service ran a power car. If you were tight with the dispatcher, you could rock out 10 IFTs in nothing flat. It helped that everything in Seattle was close. A couple of dialysis runs and some hospital to SNF discharges along with a couple of radiation treatment runs and BANG. Done. We would frequently finish 10 calls in 4 hours. It was a short lived experiment.
