    average pay nyc paramedic

    I think starting was around $35,000-40,000. Hospitals may pay more for starting salary but I tihnk its around $20-22/hr in a hospital... I quit my emt job and now work in the hospital. It pays double what I made as a basic but I miss BLS. It was a unique job. I intend to volunteer and maybe go...

    Why do alot of EMTs go into nursing?

    Very interesting! I still am considering paramedic as a backup plan (not to take anything away from being a paramedic), but I'd like to go into nursing, as I had an interest prior to taking my EMT course. Also, does anyone on here know if there's a paramedic challenge exam for nurses? If...

Bachelor degree holders can now mostly only enter 2nd Degree ACCELERATED pathways...I have to work. And...

    Why do alot of EMTs go into nursing?

    I wanna clarify, I was wondering about the trend in career choice as opposed to the money although I'm sure money plays a role, I really noticed a lot of my emt friends, as well as what ytou see on the discussion threads on emtlife, that a lot go into nursing instead of PA/MD. Of course, you...

    Why do alot of EMTs go into nursing?

    I just figured perhaps nursing was the next logical choice in patient care, as I see by the number of EMTs I worked with in my private company who went to nursing school. While those factors you mentioned are valid, you also have to take into account that nursing isn't for everyone. I know a PA...

    Typical Day in IFT

    i agree, but it gets boring after a while. while these are true emergencies that i feel are masked by nursing homes, a call for sepsis or a peg tube removal is unappealing after you get to know what it is. needless to say i quit my IFT ems job the first week of jan -- i got a better paying job...
