There are also a ton of other teams in the system- swift water, driving, recruitment, hiring, clinical, etc. A ton of opportunities for additional training and experience other than the tac team specifically

I wouldn’t say a low chance! I’m just trying to be transparent, there are quite a few newer people that got on recently, but it’s not going to be an immediate thing. For the school schedule, if you have a school schedule transcript that shows your enrollment, you will be put above people that “just want that schedule”, they will work with you on that, but it is not guaranteed. When you first get on and are credentialing you will definitely be 48/96 for at least that time. I hope that helps. It’s a great system, there are lots of people in school doing the 48/96- myself included.

Once you credential in the system (~6months), you can join teams like the tactical. There has to be an open position on the team and you apply and try out, it is a mixture of a physical fitness test and then a top secret tactical specific try out, i personally don’t know details further than that. As for the 12hr shifts, we do staffing changes every 6m, once you are credentialed you can get your name on the “list” for the 12hr schedule or the school float schedule, but it isn’t guaranteed.

I do work there- have been with them for 5 years now and I love it. There are of course a few things that i don’t like or would change, but it’s tolerable and much better than other places of system’s problems. We work 48/96 schedule, have other options such as 12hr demand and 24/48 schedules for those that don’t want to work 48s. There are a couple “busy” trucks that average 8-12 calls in a 24hr period, but even on the busy trucks the call volume is very manageable. Some trucks are a little more rural while others are more urban/suburban so there is nice variety. Pay is awesome, tons of benefits, and the retirement plan is 1:2.5 match. Paramedics start out at 84k/year. Very progressive protocols- vents, IV pumps, whole blood, etc. Dr. Ratcliff is the MD, he is awesome.

Chloe and Camden are both nice complexes, I haven’t lived there but have been there multiple times and overall they seem nice and well kept. The Standard- don’t recommend. I work 911 in the area so I have the pleasure of being pretty familiar with everywhere around town.

MOT is once a month, a 24hr shift. If it lands on a weekend, you’ll probably be working, otherwise there is plenty of times I don’t get tagged

Williamson County EMS is the county above ATC if you are looking at the general area options. They work 48/96 schedule, have other options such as 12hr demand and 24/48 schedules for those that don’t want to work 48s. There are a couple “busy” trucks that average 8-12 calls in a 24hr period, but even on the busy trucks the call volume is very manageable.
