So I recently got a call back from a company that I applied for and had a nice chat with the owner. He was very pleasent, offered me a job, but stressed one thing. They only do routine transport for dialysis centers, and many of his drivers are not even EMT-B certified, because it isn't in their contract to provide medical care, just transports. They do stretcher moves etc.
I know starting out one can't be picky. But I'm worried that this isn't the right kind of experience, since they don't do any kind of patient care. I have an OK non-EMS related job right now that pays almost the same, so I would hate to quit it and not make a firm move towards the EMS field. I was just hoping you guys could shed some light on if working for a strictly routine transport company is a good starting point.
