    Completely green EMT-B (seattle) in need of a little guidance

    well, I got offered the job, starting at $10/hr (slightly less than I make as a lifeguard, but I'm not too concerned, though it has benefits as well) and I jumped on it. Even if it doesn't last long, I'm hungry for experience, and they're a sponsored company. Basic info: they are expanding from...

    Completely green EMT-B (seattle) in need of a little guidance

    I just got a call back from the emerald city ambulance startup company that was posted on craigslist, have an interview with them tomorrow. Glad I came here, this website was where I found them. Even if they only last six months or so, they are a valid sponsor for my state cert, and...

    EMT Basic Max Pay in a Private Company

    It really scares me that I'm going into a field that is much more serious than what I do now (lifeguarding) but pays $2/hr less. This country has really messed up priorities :D I know, I know, you're worth what you can leverage. But even still, when you have people's lives in your hands, the...

    Completely green EMT-B (seattle) in need of a little guidance

    Hi guys, I'm a completely green EMT, I've been certified since early this year, and have finally started dipping my toes into looking for a job; but being in Washington state has me really, really confused about how things work. I read a thread here from 2010 (looking at the department of...
