I have previous dispatching experience on the LEO side of things so when the dispatch supervisor started looking around for extra help due to a recent rash of firings combined with a number of personnel going on sick leave he asked me to help out. I don't mind pitching in every now and then especially since it comes with a raise bumping me up to 16.25 but I love the street, I love my patients, I love my partners, and I love medicine. I left dispatch for a reason and I don't want to get stuck in their again. Too much office bs and drama. On my next schedule I'm only working 2 days on the street. I don't know how I feel about this. I absolutely do not want to be trapped in dispatch.
Also, part of our dispatchers duties include equipment checks, stats, paper work checks, etc. They function as shift supervisors when there isn't anyone else there and because I'll be working nights and weekends that means I'll have that bs on my shoulders especially since I'm going to paramedic school right now. Any thoughts or suggestions?
