You’ve never seen a tech do what? I didnt describe the tech doing any of the procedures, I said you will see them being done. As a tech, I am in the room while the doc is putting in a chest tube with his/her PA assisting. What i meant by prioritizing is when a nurse asks you to take a patient...

I can answer that a bit. As an ER Tech, you are dealing with multiple patients as you would as a PA. you learn to prioritize patient needs. As a paramedic, you are mainly dealing with one patient with a few exceptions. As an ER Tech, you will also work alongside a PA and truly see what their job...

I would say it depends on what you want to do. As a paramedic you get more patient contacts where you are in-charge. you are practicing more interventions than you would as an ER Tech. This is all assuming you will be a paramedic in a 911 service. you would also gain valuable experience in...

I got my EMT through Lone Star North Harris. we had two teachers for the five week class through HFD. The HFD teacher was great, but the civilian teacher was awful. The class overall was good, but the person in charge of getting students into the class does not reply to emails and is generally...

Hey guys and gals, I'm an AEMT hoping to start paramedic school next semester and am trying to "read ahead" since I will be working full time while going to school and I know how hard that is after doing it during AEMT. I tried reading the Nancy Caroline chapter on Cardiovascular Emergencies and...

they have several choices. its similar to the insurance marketplace. there is several choices in gold level, silver level, and bronze level. you can also choose the extras that you sign up for

I had an OWI (DUI in Texas I think) from 2004. DSHS took forever to get me approved. I had to call them after a month to make sure I would be ok'd. If I were you, I would call them and politely ask the status of your application. I just think it takes longer if you have something on your record...

I would suggest working there part time. I just quit there after a year to work at Memorial Hermann. You won't really do anything as an AEMT, it basically just gets you about $2/hr more in pay. Their equipment is junk, in the year I worked there, I broke down four times, one of which was in...

decided that $12.82 as an AEMT is too low. Hermann SW offered me much more

Is there a lot of overtime available at Creek? I would like to work an extra 24 every other week or so if possible.

Its the same as what they pay for a basic at AMR. I was in line for a $2/hr raise as an AEMT. Thats why I was hoping for a comparable rate at Creek. Im hoping she just messed up the pay rate since there is a few different intermediate levels.

got my offer today. kinda disappointed though. offered $12.82 for AEMT. seems kind of low, but still better than staying with AMR

have my interview on Tuesday after passing the testing last week. do you know anything about the paramedic program the offer? mainly if they will put new hires into the program and when the next one starts? Thanks for all the info
