How do you know when it's time to hire a home caregiver for a loved one?
It may be time to hire a home caregiver if your loved one struggles with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, taking medications, or moving safely. Frequent falls, memory loss, poor hygiene, or loneliness are also warning signs. A caregiver provides personalized support, companionship, and helps seniors stay safe and independent at home.

Hi John, you work with Wendover Ambulance in UT, correct? I am very interested in part-time work, and I am having trouble finding out who to contact to inquire about employment opportunities. I just got my NREMT (EMT-Basic) and Utah License. Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I've tried twice now to message you and/or reply to your posts, and it's all disappeared or not allowed for some reason. I'm Jon, similar clinical background as you, from the sounds. I got into the interview phase for KC, I was hoping to pick your brain about training schedules!

Hello! I saw your post about the New Mexico exam. I just got my temp license and have to have my full license before I can start my job. Was the test hard or is it early passable? I have my FP-C and just got my CCP-C and I have three years of experience. Did you study for it or go in raw?

Go raw. I think it was easier than NREMT so definitely easier than FP-C and CCP-C. Are you gonna work flight in New Mexico?

Yes. I got a travel flight job in New Mexico. I am scared I am not going to pass this exam the first time. I get hella test anxiety. Was it it pretty straight forward? Lot is dosing questions? Or would you call it soft ball type medic questions?

I don't remember all the details, I took the test I think 3 years ago, but I didn't consider it hard.

Anyone else have to wait for their Initial Ambulance license to be reviewed at the DMV headquarters?? How long did you have to wait to hear a response? If you’re guessing…the answer is yes I live in CA🥹😂

Nope, my state (like most of the others) didn't require such asinine things

Feeling discouraged…

Applied for my Ambulance Cert passed with flying colors…wasn’t issued a temporary because I checked yes on one of the boxes. My license was suspended last year because I failed a knowledge/Skills test but took it again and passed and my license was reinstated, but now they are saying my previous suspension needs to be reviewed before they approve. anyone else run into this issue?

Hi Chrls,

I have a couple questions if you don’t mind? I just graduated paramedic school and I am interested in a flight officer position with CHP, what is the timeline looking like right now? I understand you need to complete the academy then 2 years as a road officer, is their current openings for officers that have their paramedic? What is the schedule for a flight officer? 12/42?

Thank-you,
Trent

Sorry for the delay, I haven’t logged in for awhile.

There are several flight officer/medic openings currently but there are also lots of patrol positions open too. The department prioritizes patrol spots over flying so the air program is pretty low staffing wise until the patrol side gets built back up.

We have 8 air bases and they work 4/10’s or a 9/80.

No worries thanks for the response chrls,
I get that the department prioritizes patrol positions as that is the backbone of the dept. Which air bases normally take the new flight officers? Also do protocols go off of what county your airbase is located in?

There aren’t openings frequently enough for one base to get noticeably more new people than others.

Yes, our protocols are from the county we’re based in. Personally I work off Riverside County protocols even if we respond to neighboring counties.

Hi, I saw your post form 2017 re: HCPC. I'm moving back to the UK having been a paramedic in the US for three years. I was wondering if you still had your application packet as an example of what they're looking for, particularly the details I will need to provide of my education. Any help you can provide would be really appreciated. **email address removed**

Hi there! I'm currently a medic in SC and will be moving to PA for school. I've seen your other posts helping others out with gaining reciprocity, and I have some questions on what exactly I need to do. Could you send me a DM please? Thanks
