Do both.

And make sure you have plenty of clinical ECs in addition. Volunteering at the Red Cross is no substitute for volunteering or working in a clinic or hospital with direct patient contact.

Depends, are you using this as your volunteer experience, or pt. contact experience? If the latter, go ahead and take the job. I had to work through college, so I mixed pt. contact w/ getting paid.

Nm, just reread the lifeguard part. But yeah, as the other poster said, do both, and mix in some clinical setting experience down the road

I already volunteer in the ER 8 hours a week, I just wanted to do this as another activity

The lifeguard deal is nothing more than a job. Nothing wrong with that at all, though.

I would probably opt for the paid gig.
