How you guys doing? I am a 21 yr old college student who is about done with my EMT-B course. I plan on going to grad school to be a PA after completing my undergrad.
I go to school in Chicago, and I want to work with a private ambulance Co or as a ER tech (although I heard the latter is hard to get) during my last yr as a undergrad.
From what I've heard, Superior pays slightly more than the others, but is more strict and you have to wear a clip on tie (barf). I know MED-EX, Advance, and ATI are some of the others.
My question is which private is the best to work for; in terms of wage, flexibility, and experience? Bear in mind I plan on working part-time (2-3 days a week).
And should I expect shifts always at least 12 hrs?
Any experience with a private in chi-town or funny stories are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
