Has anyone heard of this before? There's a new urgent care opening up pretty close and I'm thinking of trying to see if they would hire an EMT.
That's exactly what I would be planning on doing, patient intake, discharge info, etc. Basically what I would think a medical assistant would do.Sounds like an idea. You will get lots of practice with vitals, history taking, and data entry. Check with them, and see what they say.
I'm not expecting anything big, I'm mostly looking for something a little closer than my current job (170 miles round trip every other day) and somewhere I can continue learning and really be able to apply what I learn in school!Give it a shot. Don't expect glamour and excitement... But it could be a really cool experience.
I plan on going to a BSN at minimumLearned more clinical stuff than I learned in the last 18 months of my 4 year nursing degree. Good luck getting hired, but once in, follow their instructions and use slack times I(if any!) to learn stuff so you can get in and help.
And raise your sights. Get a degree!!
