Best states for EMS?

[DesertMedic66]

Hmm.. shocking. Not a single person has denied that Texas is one of, if not THE, best states for EMS. Coinky-dink?

Nah. California is the best state for EMS..... :rofl:

As everyone has already said.

Texas is good

Not California - believe me the weather isn't worth the cost of living

The thing Texas has going for itself is the ability for the Medical Director to determine the scope of his/her practitioners rather than fighting with the state or county.

The only reason we don't have an RSI protocol is because the state EMS office wont approve it, even though or MD has been fighting to get it for some time now. We have protocols for sedation post-intubation which, in theory, could be manipulated through some colorful documentation...but its not worth the risk. Give us the damn protocol.

Hehehe, $43k AND 150% match to 401(a)

$43k/yr and 150% matching, and yet, you still haven't sent me any cookies...

Along with many services with very competitive salaries and a low cost of living...

But yeah... What you said is nice too

Texas is the worst state to do EMS in. First of all, everything is bigger in texas. Than it's not New York. Worst of all, any system without me is terrible.

Pretty happy in Texas, and we've got some killer services.

Of course we also have TEEX and HFD and UTSW and DFD, so it's a little bit of a mixed bag sometimes.

Seattle/King County Washington ain't too shabby.
