I wanted to apply at two places, but the other place application closed again (it comes and goes so maybe it'll open up again in a couple of months).

I’ve been in your shoes, and having said that just be cautious and do your homework. This can be a red flag for various reasons, or it can be nothing at all.

Like others have stated in the past, once the novelty of flying wears off it’s still a job.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Anyone ever play I.B.I.U.E.I. with your partner on the ambulance? It's a great game. Stands for, "I Buy It U Eat It". Goes like this: You stop at a gas station and buy anything you want. Your partner then has to eat it. They don't get to say they're not playing. There's only 1 rule: It has to be for human consumption. Of course there's house rules if you want. For me, rule #2: No pickle in a bag. I hate pickles.

Yeah, I’m gonna take a hard pass on that just because of the part I put in bold.

Oh I know, there's a lot of futility in arrests. I just find it ironic that this past summer I'd be getting ROSC on asystolic arrests that I'd literally be on the phone to get orders for (twice in a row), but the closest to ideal situations we can ask for are stubbornly uncooperative. Just observing my newest pattern from my patients.

@Aprz lots of truth here. Don't settle for a job just to fly, as the novelty does wear off.

I cancelled an interview when I recognized I was settling, I just happen to get extremely lucky and get a job where I wanted to be. I am the newest person here with 2.5 years in.

Just because somewhere has openings often, is not necessarily a bad sign, A place that rarely has openings is almost always a good sign.

I’m all for doing stuff like that but when the statement “they don’t get to say they are not playing” is made, I am out. This pretty much goes for everything in life

Fair enough.. we say that more tongue in cheek than anything. We all have a lot of fun with it, don't think anybody has ever been forced to play.

Working 8 hour shifts in EMS is odd, even though you end up working 5 days a week, the shifts go by quickly.
