Hey guys/girls I'm a medic in mass for a city fd. Considering relocating to nyc. I'm going to be 34 so I figured fd NY ems is out. Plus the pay scale is depressing. Tell me about this hospital based system? Pay scale, scope of practice, benefits etc

I work at two different places. I do 911 and ift at both. Both places have their pro's and con's. Both companies are aware and since they are not competitors, everyone is happy. Get that money!!

i have full sleeves, my chest, stomach and knuckles tattooed. i have never had a problem and i work in multiple towns as a paramedic. you'd be surprised how many older people have them. for those who say they are judging your peers and coworkers because they have tattoos, shame on you...

hahaha went to a nursing home for a sob. nurse states " i cant get her stats past 88% " pt is on nrb 2lpm. i pulled it off the pt. she says " ahh i feel better now thank you " the nurse is my general managers sister in law so i bit my tongue gotta love it

i love coffee and when im out of work i like to grab drinks but thats about it. i try to exercise and sleep as much as i can. some days im fine, some days im beat, nature of the job

on all my 911 psych calls i always let patients pick the radio station they want. it tends to chill them out and make my job a lot easier
