This is my first post, so please be gentle with me!
Hello all, my name is Alex and I have a few questions to ask...
I am a college student with a Basic certification in Indiana and soon in Michigan, I am also nationally registered.
I live in Michigan, which is going through some pretty difficult times, jobs are hard to find so I thought, why not make my own?
I know that sometimes EMT's and Paramedics get hired to do events, like a cruise ship or some sort of sporting event.
How those EMT's go about getting those jobs?
Is there a agency that has EMT's that are sent out, or do individual EMT's go into business for themselves?
I have never worked for a service and got my certification last summer after my senior year of high school.
Is working as a private EMT good training for the real thing? Or should I wait until I have worked for a service before going private?
Also I was wondering about the legality of hiring myself out... If you are being paid to render service, are you covered by the good Samaritan laws?
Sorry about my profound lack of knowledge, I figure that emtcity is the best place to ask these questions.
