Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hello All: Just needed so advise, I went to work for Frontier Medical service for 5 weeks, well I did my tour and even got a letter from the Capt of the boat telling me what a good job I did (shocked). Well during the trip FMS is telling me that have all these assignment's lined up for me, and when I finish my tour , it would be a quick turn around, well then they got the GOM contract and they wanted me to go work it for a lot less than any GOM medic would work for, I explained that when working in USA waters you had better have all your ACLS equipment in line because if you fly off with a chest pain or anything that's the first thing they will be looking for when you land and the hospital and that no medic would risk his cert by no adhering to the rules of being a medic weather it be offshore or on an ambulance and will want the right equipment to work with. they were offering 250 USD a day the going rate is 300-300 a day +health benefits so I said no I will not work for that price No NHS here Guys which we had it but it does not look like it will ever happen. Well then when I am asking them if there are any assignment's other than the GOM they say NO, I look at there web site and guess what recruiting medics for the GOM and other places, it the other places I want to go to, there I can work under there medical control and not worry about loosing my license for not having the right equipment. Bottom any advise for this out of work Medic All comments welcome Regards Fred ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Get your email and see which of your friends are online - Right on the New .com (http://www./preview) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
