  1. It was only a matter of time....don't worry; they are only another name change away from resuming business as usual.
  2. The employees at Care1 are fantastic. I think the topic of discussion is the management, not the field staff. Ive had the opportunity to work with the EMTs and Paramedics for years and they are nothing less than dedicated,respectful,and hard working. The large majority of us have worn different patches, different color uniforms over our careers, the company does not make the employee who they are. I agree the reputation of this agency far proceeds the staff,and some people can not see past that. As I see it, the problems are largely internal and at a management level. No company is without it's own set of issues,I just think that not only are a large number of new hires are leaving, but an equally large number of field staff that has been there for years, through good and bad and all the changes over the years it needs to be evaluated. I really believe the field staff has kept this company going as long as it has. It's the faces of the crews that the facilities,patients,and family see and it is the field staff they interact with and it's because of them they call back. It's unfortunate that management ignores this and chooses to step on them and treat them as they do. Remember ladies and gentlemen, we do the same job, we are on the same side of this. We can't lose sight of this.
  3. I think what you should look at with any agency but ecspecially at Care1 is employee retention. They may hire a lot of people, but a lot of them don't stay. even a lot of the employees who have been there since empire have recently went elsewhere. I think you'll find a lot of the same problems exist, just hidden differently. I haven't dealt much with Nodar, and those dealings iv'e had havent been bad...however Mr. Welsh is an arrogant joke.
  4. In my daily travels today, I came across 4 A.M.R ambulances sitting outside of one of our local hospital e.rs. I didn't see any of the crew, so I couldn't find out what was up, but really? I knew they have been aiming to get into Dutchess county for a while but are they finally in? Once they get their foot in, its all over from there. I hope the local commercial agencies can try to keep up. Best of luck, Its a scary thought.
