No, I'm not contradicting the post I'm just being sarcastic in response to the statement about teaching monkeys and the ALS skills.

Actually I'm not saying I don't believe in degrees or education, In fact I have my AS in EMS a lot of the requirements for general ed for AS in nursing I've completed, I'm gonna do a Paramedic to RN bridge in about 14 lousy months for the core nursing classes and do clinicals and then I could...

Well, I'm not saying you can't teach monkeys to a follow simple protocols, but also don't talk to me about these glorified high school courses, Ive taken Microbiology, sociology, chemistry, blah, blah, I must say that wasn't very difficult, I was hungover most of the time and still maintained...

Yeah I just thought starting an IV, slapping pads on, or administration of meds would be somewhat as amazing as when RN performs the skill, but your right its probably appears to be more impressive when you have received classes in, Microbiology, Chemistry, psychology, etc. All the classes that...

Cool picture I like it, lol!!!

Thank you Moto

I see, yeah your right about entry, that definately has an impact on pay and the chances of being under paid.

How much did I expect to make as an advanced level pre hospital medical professional, with the ability to administer pharmacological agents via various routes IV, IM, SQ, Advanced airway management, Transcutaneous pacing, defibrillate, etc etc?? I was hoping to be able to pay my bills. That...

Jp, Are you even in EMS? To down play the vital role Paramedics perform in field as advanced providers with that poor excuse of no college degree, that's not even relevant Paramedics and EMTs have specialized training, a degree doesn't necessarily prepare you for the job force. The Degree...

What interventions does an EMT-B provide that a First responder does not? Or what is the diffrence? How many more hours are involved

Depends on the company you work for, but just shop around until your offered a schedule that works for you, definitely continue to educate yourself beyond paramedic school, if your not working for a Fire Dept or a third service like Austin EMS, or FDNY, EMS is dead end job, you will be exploited...

Jp, I have to disagree poor pay and lack of respect has nothing to do with milking calls, It has to do with greedy inconsiderate ambulance companies, That basically capitalize on EMTs and Paramedics that are hoping to land a career ems position with livable wages and benefits. These companies...

Does anybody know what the policy is regarding private ambulance companies responding code 3 to SNF's in lieu of Jurisdictional First in Paramedic agencies, I have heard of companies marketing the option to respond code 3 up on request. Is there anything in writing by LA Co DHS or Ca EMSA that...

I love this app, I'm in the rig posting on a corner like a two dollar Hooker, but thinks to tapatalk its easier to post and view the forum.

I should have gone to nursing school or stayed in Marines I would probably be making more money. EMS in the privates is a joke and a blatantly exploitation.

CRA Ambulance employees are not very friendly.

Pretty good company and pay. I have a few buddies that work there and they love it.

I don't think the pay is very good, I could be wrong I don't work for them.

Just to confirm, Does FDNY EMS work 8, 10, 12, or 24 hour shifts? ?
