I'm currently and I’m currently a Basic with a full time non EMS job that I want to get out of. I’m also taking my EMT-C class. I cannot find any information as to what the going rate for a Basic is in RI, or what the pay jump is from Basic to Cardiac. I was thinking about calling an ambulance service and asking them, but I figured I’d give this forum a shot first. Any information as to what the pay rates are for Basic’s and Cardiac’s in RI would be awesome, thanks everyone!
