I looked into volunteering with a couple of hospitals and they both said that they do allow volunteer EMT's to use their skills but only after volunteering in a non medical capacity for a time. There are many aspects to medicine and as much as many of us dislike the nuts and bolts aspect of medicine working behind a desk at a hospital would look good on a resume. If you can't get on with an ambulance or FD I say go for it. You might pick up info that will make you a better medic one day, and having your face seen around a hospital is rarely a bad thing.
question to ask yourself: would volunteering at a hospital at a reception desk help you get a paid job as an EMT?So I got my EMT-B license back in august and am having a hard time finding a place to start off my career in ems, So I figured why not volunteer? My question is: would you guys volunteer at a hospital that would start you off in the reception desk?????
I went to school so I could make money, I don't work for free. I suppose volunteer work is nice if you can afford it.

What about volunteering with the Red Cross in a first aid capacity?
