I'm interested in getting my certification during my winter recess and obtaining a job as an EMT, but I am concerned as to how I will be scheduled. I'm a full-time premedical student, I volunteer 4-8 hours in an ER, and I'm interested in undertaking some research. I currently work 20-30 hours on top of this, but my current employer is very flexible in my scheduling.
I would hate to spend the money and time getting my certification and not be able to work because of an incompatible schedule.
Are certain companies more flexible in their scheduling in the Orange County (maybe even LA county since I volunteer out there) area than others? I would probably be limited to working about 24 hours on weekends to keep from interfering with school which is of course my main priority.
I have heard good things about CARE but I cannot seem to find a ton of information on this subject and would appreciate any insight that you could contribute.
I thank you in advance.
