JOB Openings for Paramedics

[Guest guest]

You're really clever. I searched for pay rates in Texas. Hmmmm..

surprisingly if you don't live in a major Texas city, they were absolutely

nothing to brag about. If you do live in a major city, the cost of living is

double that our small community. Let's see. yep, the EMT's are all still

poor no matter were they live.

Ardmore is a nice small community, in which people can still afford to live.

$12.00/hr here is certainly not hero pay, but it is average for this field.

Comparing the cost of living in, let's say Dallas, compared to Ardmore.

duhhhh you would have to make 3X the pay our people do to live in the same

middle income circumstances.

Is anyone on this group ever courteous or supportive of each other, or is it

your group's goal to belittle and run people down?

Regards,

Bob

Thank God no one from Arkansas has shown up on the list. We can all agree on

that, right? <GRIN>

You are 100% correct Doc. It kinda like Brownsville and the mexican city across

its border. I worked in Port Arthur during high school and had to take Cajun

French to survive in the Texas town.

With all respect intended, EMS tends to be a coarse profession and the humor

quotient doesn't always translate well over the 'net. Additionally, the

$0.10/hour raise each year was a bit odd. Couple that with the Texas/Oklahoma

rivalry, and well, 'net sarcasm pops up.

We make fun of other Texans too, if it makes you feel any better. And I tend

not to take much seriously myself. Hence my comment last night of <INSERT

OKLAHOMA JOKE HERE>.

If you were offended over that, stick around. I'm probably one of the " nice "

jokers around here. :-)

P.S. -- I visited www.hargis.info I've never met a paramedic who's running

for President of the United States. What's your stance on a Federal EMS agency?

And just wait until you see what they do to the few of us from

Louisiana.

Despite the occasional (mostly unintentional) offense this is really a

good group to interact with. If we didn't care about our profession we

wouldn't be here. Y'all Texans just can't help defending your positions

no matter how wrong y'all are. LOL!!!

Hey Bob, don't take it personal. It is common (sadly) to see rural providers

get lambasted when posting job opportunities due to available wages. I looked

through your site. Ardmore is very pretty country, as I know from visiting many

times. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm an Okie - born & bred (GO

SOONERS!). I wanted to ask about average yearly salary. Assuming you pay

standard overtime associated with 24 on/48 off, the hourly rates you posted

would equate to approximately $38,000 to $41,000 annual salary, yes? Not to bad

for a start, not at all. If I were looking to move, I would have already called

you. Thanks for posting.

Or....you could fly across the border and make around $17,000 a month working

for my outfit as a Paramedic....with a lot less B.S.
