I’m just asking to gain to some insight. I applied to be an ER Tech sometime before the official lockdown. I ended up getting the position but I’m weary about starting. I’m extremely terrified about contracting and spreading this virus especially since I live with my Aunt & Uncle who are potentially vulnerable.
I did create a plan that would allow for me to safely come home without significantly contaminating anything.
It’s a hard decision for me because I have been unemployed for a year. I quit my scribe job early last year after experiencing crippling carpal tunnel. The job I had lined up ended up falling through last minute and I missed the initial deadline for summer EMT registration. I took the course this past fall, got licensed, and landed this gig.
In addition, I have been volunteering as a crisis text line counselor and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pay the bills.
Most of my concerns really come from having adequate access to PPE, receiving hazard pay, and potentially getting sick. What has been your experiences during the pandemic??
