I am trying to decide what to do for experience that pays well. I have for the past 2.5 years worked in a mental facility and need to get more clinical experience with medical patients not just mental. I am needing the school or training to be fast and cheapish. I was thinking emt basic because its only 3 months and less then 1k. My concern is that the basic emt does lame calls getting no real experience, also that its horrible pay for me only being able to work part time. From what you have read is emt basic my best option? Is mental facilities enough experience, should i stay in that field until im ready to shadow due to higher pay on the mental side? Please help if you have been here or have any adivse thank you.
