thanks! : )

The company I work for pays 200 to 250 ish for a new EMR. The EMTs (PCPs) I am working with are making 350

$350 a day? That's what I make in a week...

That's for a "new" EMR. What about an EMR with 2 years? Just curious : )

I think everyone starts the same. There is a summer rate and a winter ( winter rate is higher). There are bonuses available and you get a raise every year. There are A LOT of them around so I doubt you could negotiate much higher but you never know.

Yeah 350 a day for 14 or 21 straight. It is good money.... Especially for BLS. You can work the winter and take the summer off and still make more than working a 911 truck year round on the east coast.

I have heard as high as a grand a day but don't know anyone making that. Average would be 700 give or take a hundred and some companies cover flights as well.

Wait a second, this is what oil field medics get paid? Where are these jobs and how do you apply for them?
