Different jobs involving EMS?

[mrsmall]

I was watching a movie today and started to wander something... What are some of the jobs that people can do that involve, or are based around EMS?

I know you have:

Fire/Medics

Flight Medics

EMT-B, EMT-I and EMT-P

maybe there are other crossover jobs, like swat medic? dunno might be a dumb question

Swat Medic

ER Tech

Some concert and sports venues keep EMT's of their own on site.

Camp Nurse

School health care (AKA: nurses office) Schools are finding that they do not need an actual nurse to offer health care services to students. They are now hiring EMS to provide those services.

Actually, they do.

They're just finding that they do not want to pay for an actual nurse. Shocking. :roll:

Sorry to disappoint you Dust, but whether it's a nurse, medic, or emt; they get the same pay (around here anyway). I guess that doesn't say much for what they're willing to pay a school nurse. But again, we are talking rural America where the school usually runs in the red because they spend stupidly and don't have the student body to bring in the money to pay ANY staff jacksh*t. The way it works it that one nurse overlooks all schools in the district but they hire either nurses or ems for day to day tasks. Whether this is a good thing or not, I really don't know. I do know that it reduces the workload of the charge nurse (she is higher paid) who at one time had to care for students in several different schools.
