Request for suggestions and comments

[Guest guest]

Hello,

We have now had 15,195 visits to www.prnMedics.com since

April. That's an average of 490 per day. They have very little to

look at but they keep coming. My question is. Why more of you

employers haven't listed with me? Is the fee of less than $1.50 a

day too much? This fee includes a specialized form created for you

with the questions you have of potential employees, a dedicated

email address, a viewer to see exactly what they have listed, your

employment opportunity posted on our web site, and someone

recruiting for you all year.

I have looked at some of the other web based listing

services and seen fees listed at half my yearly fee for only one

month on their site.

Please forward any constructive comments or suggestions to

me off list at prnmedics@...

Thanks

It's likely that most EMS agencies aren't too keen on using PRN medics

due to protocol issues, medical direction issues, etc. Nurses get PRN

work because they typically don't do much outside the box without

direct coordination with a doctor. Paramedics, on the other hand,

have limited interaction with doctors and must be familiar with the

protocols they're operating under. Having someone just show up one

day and be expected to grok the protocols is unrealistic - and

introduces a significant liability factor for both the service and the

attendant medical director with regards to protocol compliance.

Just my $.02.

I actually have a friend in the U.K. who owns a company that supplies pool

Paramedics like our nursing pools over here. I think there are differences

between the way we operate and the way they operate, however. For instance,

over there the Paramedics function under their OWN license and answer to a board

like our physicians do here. And I think, like our physicians here, they have

set training, etc.

I was telling him about the inherent problems of trying to do that, at least in

Texas, due to the variances in protocols and practice from one service to the

other, etc.
