Differences between Paramedic (ALS) and EMT (BLS) training. Also the difference in Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support procedures. Bellingham Fire Department/Whatcom Medic One Bellingham, WA.
@jalen77232 I’m not sure, but my dad (17 years experience) told me “If you’re a Paramedic and live by yourself you’ll be fine, but if you wanna have a wife and kids you may have some money problems” so that’s all I can answer for you.
@lipman19 well yes, but you can’t be a paramedic forever, yes they help people but they can’t help people if they can’t support themselves or their families.
@huhster783 Im thinking the exact same thing. What are the requirements for firefighter/paramedic after you have already became a certified emt-b and passed the paramedic school/training?
I earn about 50k per year as a paramedic (excluding signing up for overtime shifts) here in south Louisiana, which is pretty good, when you factor in the relative lower cost of living we have.
but given my level of training, responsibility, scope of practice and danger that is inherent with the job, (etc.) im underpaid. especially because i work for a ems service with a very high call volume.
but……. at least i get to do a job i love. how many people can say that?

@KitchenPillow to be honest for most people like me it isnt about the salary it is about saving the life and the gratification of that
@steelersboy4life a paramedic has higher knowledge of medical skills than an emt
Paramedic and EMT same thing right ?

Anatomy and Physiology is probably one of the fav. topics i like to learn in the curriculum and of course, learning how to save lives!!
@awweannabelle No,… to be firefighter you must be trained as EMT or Paramedic
@huhster783 Im thinking the exact same thing. What are the requirements for firefighter/paramedic after you have already became a certified emt-b and passed the paramedic school/training?
so to become an EMT paramedic you need Firefighting training?
