Hi! I have been in EMS for 16 years was raised around it all my life my dad was a paramedic I have had 3 kid while working on a truck 2 are liveing long store on the other and not related to what you are asking my oldest is 12 now and my baby is going to be 10 this summer and I am on husband number 3 he is a paramedic of 20 years and the keeper the other 2 were not. Let me start by saying EMS is a calling not everyone can handle. It is hardand a very demanding job. To me it is the best job on earth. When my kids were born if it was not for my mom and dad I could not have made it my mother toke care of them so I could work I was a single mom at that time (by kid #3) by chose. I missed alot with them I worked 4 jobs plus school for 3 years now I miss vere little in there life I was working 3 to 4 days a week would get of in time to wake them up and take them to school then pick them up on my off days you make every day count. My kids think I am the coolest and love the fact that mommy saves lives and wears combat boots lol! I say was becouse I have been of work for a while due to needing to be home to help my brother who is very sick. he is getting better now so I am looking for a new job. Here is 2 things to know 911 is what EMT's love to work transfer medics get to have holidays and in most casses nights and weekends with there family's most ambulance jobs undersand if things come up and most medics will help and switch a shift if you need to be off of you can request it off. I have done both transfer is more family frindly. Yes and no on the ez part yes on the kids no on you.Hope this helps.
