Anyone notice that the famous Austin Travis county EMS took a turn for the worse a while back? I use to think this looked like a great municipal agency to consider working for, then a few months ago they stopped paying for double paramedic ambulances. Ok fair enough... but... now there in a budget crises...
Now on there recruitment website there hiring Paramedics (even TX licensed medics with college degree's) to work for EMT-B pay until a position becomes available to be "promoted" to Paramedic, although you are in all actuality a certified or licensed paramedic from the start.
I wrote to the recruitment and PR people twice about this, never got a reply.
This seems like a shady business practice to save money. Any thoughts?
How about some of you from Texas? Did I get the story right or can you fill us in ?
