Comment on Sometimes I Drive the Ambulance (but I’m not an ambulance driver) by gwalter

Interesting. I’d be curious as to how much medics make there. Here on the West Coast, public EMS professionals are making $80-100k/yr. Private medics make about $60kyr.. RNs are closer to the $100k/yr.

For me though, more than pay, it’s about respect, professionalism, and teamwork.

Just a few days ago, I overheard an ED RN refer to us as “the ambulance drivers” to a patient. #sigh

Very interesting article! May I ask what state you reside in? Many things that you have shared are very different from what I experience in SC as a Paramedic. For the private service here, the pay is much more, and the benefits are much better than those of county EMS. Some county EMS require you work overnight and only pay if you get a call. Its really a huge difference between private, and state employment. The need of medics are very high in SC, and the high demand makes it comfortable knowing your job isn’t going to be cut tomorrow. Also, medics are able to challenge the RN exam. If one finds being an EMT is not their cup of tea, or they have advanced as much as they can, there’s always the RN challenge.

Thanks Mike – I appreciate your affirmation. It’s amazing how many take this contented attitude in a negative way.

BTW, NT Greek kicked my fanny too. I learned much about failure after taking that class for the third time.

You describe the exact feeling I had as I moved through NT Greek at undergrad. STEEP learning curve but, wow, did God show up and my stress was quite minimal. Good lessons learned sitting in that class. Thanks for the insights.
