Hi Everyone,
Semi new to this forum, but I've enjoyed reading posts so far.
Anyway, I am a sophomore in college recently certified as an EMT. I passed the NJ state exam last August and have been certified in NJ ever since. Within the last few months, I have also received reciprocity in Pennsylvania as well. Whenever I can, I ride with my local volley, but their call volume isn't too high-approximately 300ish calls a year. I'd love to pick up more shifts there in the hopes of getting more experience, but it is in my hometown, which is a hour away from where I live on campus, so coming home can be a hassle.
I am hoping to find someway to gain more experience while still in school and also gain a per deim EMT job for the summer. I have looked at squads around Rutgers (which is where I go), but their hourly requirements seem a bit high for a full time student's schedule. RUEMS also requires at least a year of BLS experience before applying for a position with them.
Do you guys have any ideas on how I would be able to gain experience while still attending school and also any good per diem positions for the summer?
