And does the company give extra towards having a bachelor degree? I'm getting mine in health sciences. That sounds like a simple process in terms of training and feasibility. Will the company pay for the local scope of practice testing or will I have to bear the burden of that myself (after...
I'm finishing up my bachelor degree and cannot leave this instant unfortunately. I have a couple of semesters left. Once I'm finished however I have no problem moving if it means a job opportunity arises such as that. Do you guys promote EMTs then to the medic position pending completion of the...
Thank you for the information Eric, I really do appreciate your candor. How often do you guys hire new paramedics? I will probably be going to paramedic school in late 2016 and try to find a job afterwards.
Is that the starting pay of someone who is inexperienced in the Carolinas as a paramedic? Thank you for the detailed explanation btw. However I have not thought about being a police officer nor am I interested in law enforcement. I would much rather go the fire route than the police route in...
Okay I see. That's a full team to do a CCT call. Out here in SoCal there has been a lot of CCTs now being handled by only a paramedic and EMT as a driver or two paramedics staffing the ambulance. Are the paramedics that are FP-C allowed to do flight ALS IFTs with the RN then? Or is that a full...
I see, thanks for the insight. I'll definitely look into it once I get my medic license. I do have some 911 EMT-B experience as a tech but in terms of ambulance care I mostly do CCTs. So I might look into getting some sort of 911 experience before moving out to NC and looking at the different...
That sounds like a great area to live in for me. I might just take you up on that offer haha. How is flight medicine there compared to the ground EMS? Is it used often times in emergencies or more of waiting for a CCT call to do IFTs? Not that I mind doing either...just curious is all
Thanks for the heads up. That sounds like a great job and opportunity. Too bad I'm not a paramedic yet. I will however keep this mind for the future. This is a hospital based job then, if I'm understanding this correctly?
I have heard that you need a few years of experience at least in paramedicine before they will consider hiring you. I was not planning on moving yet but definitely wanted to know where to head to in order to grow in EMS. Do you know any other good places to work in terms of county municipal or...
Reading the post, it seems like they're saying the class is not a guarantee of employment and knowing the Boston EMS reputation, I doubt they will hire a new EMT grad. I will however tell him about this post. Thanks for the heads up~
Not the private ambulance gigs, although it would be a good place to start. He's looking more into the county/city jobs like boston ems, chicago fire department paramedic or EMT, Wake County EMS, or some place along those lines...
