Sorry Sasha. You see I am in the middle of my emotional disturbance.
If I did say something offensive, I apologize.
I was having a bad first impression on my temporary EMT career when I passed my National Registry and got denied by a company for being new.
Sorry I though you were a mean guy who loves to troll in this forum due to the number of your post but when I checked your profile you are a damn super hot gorgeous chick.

I could deal in dirty jobs because I live in poverty and grew up in a slum community out of the United States. I was also a care giver for a year. Also, I just got out from the U.S. Military, so if you notice that my attitude is kinda straight because this is what I learned from the military as an M1 Armor Crewman. There is a general rule that never tolerate abusers otherwise they will end up taking advantage of you.

Uhm.. my post count is because I'm an active member of this forum. I'm not mean, I am just not saying the things you want to hear, that doesn't make them any less true.

I think there is a troll on this thread, but it isn't me.
 
wait why does everyone ignore my post :glare:
just go to people at your nursing school, there must be a career office because nurses get learn/get hired based on clinical experience.
 
try Care ambulance, youll get to run 911 and it's fun while going to school, or workat a them park like Knott's bBerry Farm
 
Care? Maybe. Theme park with zero experience? How about no. First aid gigs are not for the inexperienced since you lose the backup of formal training programs (which any halfway decent ambulance company should have) and the fact that, regardless of what you do/don't all of the emergency patients end up at an emergency room. In a first aid job you can't simply c-spine and back board every back pain or call 911 for anyone a little dehydrated or a little over heated. You need perspective for these jobs that you will not get in an EMT-B course.

For the record, I worked for 2 seasons at a So. Cal. water park as a basic.

I would hardly call soak city a water park, so were you like a life gaurd or something
 
It wasn't Soak City. Irvine Company still hasn't shut my old company down (thank god, that area needs more houses like I need a hole in my head). ...and yes, the people working first aid at my park were all EMT-Bs with ambulance jobs. It was my understanding that the park was required by the state to have a basic on duty anytime the park was open.

Hello,

I just finished my NREMT-1 Exam and I also have my LA County EMT-1 Certificate. Also, I am currently studying Nursing in El Camino Community College. I am desperately seeking for a job in the hospital however most hospitals requires at least 6 months experience prior for employment which I am not qualify. Furthermore, I do really hate to work in private ambulances because they don't pay enough [$9-$10/hour] and there are lots of things that they ask before employment such as Driver History Record, Ambulance Driver Certificate, Navigation Test (I hate this test because I am new in California) that would not be needed on my Nursing career.
I've applied in Gerber Ambulance and I guess that I did well on my entrance written exam, and on the end they told me that I am not mentally fit to work on there company that they could experience some trouble on training me because according to them, I was shaking and nervous during my interview, and I am not a fast writer when I was doing my essay exam.
I felt disappointed to myself and regretting in getting in EMS Career.
If I knew this would happen, I prefer to study Certified Nursing Assistant or Medical Assistant and continue my career to be a nurse.
The reason I 've chosen this career is because I want to support myself to my Nursing in order for me to reach my goals.
I also want to know if Emergency Medical Technicians are qualified to work in Nursing Homes because I want to maintain my NREMT license and renew it when it expires.
Is there any easy hiring EMT-B clinical jobs here in Los Angeles that I could apply? I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
If everything fails, my last resort is that I am going to stop my Nursing career and join the U.S. Military and continue my EMS Career.

Thank you.

I think you're getting into the wrong career.....based on your responses/statements, it's clear that healthcare is not for you. I have been in healthcare for 10 years...worked as a CNA, Medical Assistant, and EMT (currently), people that work the field and employers will tell you that there's no such answer as "It's not my job"....believe me....if it's withing your scope of practice...."It is your job!" And your statement about you being Asian.....shows alot of immaturity. I would recommend that you do more research as to what healthcare professionals are required to do, to get the job done.....some of us, who work the field are dedicated to help out the patients that need us.....if you're in it for the money....YOU'RE IN THE WRONG CAREER!!!

By the way, you guys did not answer my question and stop changing the topic.

How could I get experience if those idiot companies won't hire me?

I just got out from school and passed my board exam and they are expecting too much for me...
Click to expand...
No, they're expecting the basic minimum. Be able to use a map book, know basic EMT stuff, and be able to function in a mock scenario and write with moderate speed.

They would be "idiot companies" if they didn't expect that from EMT's. I don't see how you passing your board exam relates to that. Some EMT students are still in high school. Others have PhD's.

Your style of post most likely reflects your attitude, though. Accusing of changing topic only a few posts into the thread (back on page one) when trying to get help from us isn't a great idea. Instead give it a bit (to realize that's how board conversations go) and tactfully redirect discussion.
 
I have worked as an EMT in Los Angeles for two years. You are probably not going to find a job right now on an ambulance unless you are willing to work for a dialysis company (bringing people from home to a clinic, and than back home again when they are done). You will not find an ED tech job in so cal unless you have both time on the street and phlebotomy certification.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it just is a terrible time to be an EMT in California right now. You need to continue nursing school, because EMS is not a career in this state as of yet for the most part.

Look for another job while you are waiting to be interviewed at reputable ambulance companies.
