Anyone else work in EMS?

Started in EMS back in 1994. Been working FT 911/ER since then. I'm now a Paramedic Field Supervisor/Training Captain in the Bay Area for a large 911 system

I hope to one day fly helicopters for EMS. If I were a nurse / doctor, I would try to get in the back of one for my job.

STARS just got shut down and put in an inquest here in Manitoba. Would be cool but I think all the best jobs are on the other side of the border to is Canadians.

Been a firefighter/EMT for a year now.. riding the ambulance can be fun and it can really suck haha. I'm currently going to school to be a nurse since I feel like as it is I'm just a watered down nurse anyway.

Nice! I've been a firemedic for a little over a year now. I know what you mean about the ambulance, luckily I get a solid rotation on the engine/ladder.

I've been considering going back to school, not really sure for what though

Flight medic is something id love to get into, but it's extremely competitive and difficult to get in

My friend does one week on/one week off as a RN at the emergency room. He basically vacations every other week.
