  • k i dont get this 24/48 ?? you are saying you work 1 day a month ??? plz explain anyone

  • @jalen77232 A 24/48 refers to a type of ambulance schedule that our crews work in certain areas.

    Employees are scheduled to work a 24 hr shift then are scheduled off for 48 hours and then the schedule repeats itself. Employees on this schedule work approximately 10 days a month.

  • @acadianopps 10 day's a month! I never looked at it that way!

    So glad to be going to school as EMT-I is my goal I'm excited

  • @acadianopps is that a paramedic or a emt......iif o due you know the salary that people who work on a 24/48

  • @guitarhamster102 I was a bio major as well, and I thought the same thing... I work in a totally different field but I learned that a degree is never useless, regardless of major.

  • where is the part that teaches you how to deal with the Med Seekers and the homeless and the bullshit patients and the system abusers???

  • @Rangerleadtheway44 Do you know that 68W are only EMT-B? You have to go back to school to be EMT-I or EMT-P

  • I'm doing either this or going active Army after college. My undergrad Bio degree will be useless.

  • Can I be an emt if I am red green colorblind?

  • @DINA3105 if you are in the LA or sanfernando valley are. Los Angeles Valley College(LAVC) has a great program with great instructors. They also teach the course at college of the canyons, UCLA, and I think at santa monica city college, some places in pasedena and those are all the ones i know of. Im currently in my last month of training at LAVC

  • Neeka (or whatever her name is) is damn cute! lol
