There's something to be said about quality of life though. Yea, you will likely be more restricted in an ED, but you will have some fantastic learning opportunities. I love being on an ambulance too, but not at the cost of working for the type of place that doesnt provide things that should be standard. Get out of the dumpster fire, finish school, and apply to a decent place. Ambulances and EMS will not be going anywhere. I promise you arent going to miss your chance to do this job, there is no shortage of opportunity.I've been looking at those too. I love the ambulance though

I've been off the ambulance for a very long time and I still pine for those olden days of yore and lore. Being an ED RN has made me learn and grow in many ways. Back in my days on the ambulance, I did a LOT of interfacility transports between hospitals and a LOT of scene calls so I did get to see a LOT of really sick people. That being said, I've seen and managed many more sick people as an ED RN than I did on the ambulance. There are a few things that I cannot do (by policy more than anything really) now that I previously could do back then, but on the whole, I do really like my job now.
I'm still highly considering going back to the ambulance but primarily as a CCT-RN. As this pandemic (hopefully) subsides in the coming months, I'll do it maybe as a PRN/casual in that role. I do like my "day" job too much (and the pay/bennies) to quit that.
Okay I'm 11/10 sentimental for the good times. Yeah. But. Doesn't change that I feel like that.
And?You've been working in EMS for like 10 minutes...
Them feels rarely lie.Called a stroke alert on someone who was only having cognitive issues, no physical deficits. Turns out it was right. God those subtler strokes are tricky, but it sure feels satisfying when its right. Especially when its the hospital you've worked hard at building relationships and reputations with over the years.
Nope. Those feels have been right a few times over the years.Them feels rarely lie.
