hey guys thanks for the replies, judging from what you guys told me, it looks like particurally all ambulance companies are not that different nationwide, only difference is the pay. I work for one down here in florida and it is no differeent from the companies I heard mentioned in the thread. All of them seem to work of off capitalism. I thought it would be easy to find a good paying, union-organized, good benefit company to work for up there. Oh well i guess the best thing for working for a ambulance company is that at least you have a half stable job in the recession. I can see why some people are going for thier RN after medics school, different strokes for different folks i guess.
