Hi-
So I currently have been working for an ambulance company as an EMT since 2022. Prior to that I was an EMT at a clinic from 2020-2022. I recently applied to an ER tech position and got the offer, but the pay is way less.
I currently get paid $19.50 Monday-Thursday and $24 Friday- Saturday, with working mostly the weekend. The hospital job is offering $19 with diffirential for working night time and weekend. Coming to about $19.90 to $21.20.
Obviously I am doing the position because I need clinical hours for med school. I started looking around because I wanted more exposure in using my skills and hopefully get a letter of rec from a doc at the ER. But honestly, that pay is a little insulting for all the experience I have and for all the work I’m going to do, which is way more than in the ambulance. Should I just chill and stay where I’m at? Any thoughts?
I also have a kid, so that schedule from 7-7:30 at the ER will require to me to get help/nanny. And I don’t think $19.90 is worth it for everything I’m about to do compared to the ambulance.
Any advise?
