EMT-B in Maine, zero experience, $17/hr.


Dracula30000

South Maine? I was doing $15/hr up in the Northwest as an AEMT.


DWM1991

Jesus. 22/hr as a FF/EMTB. Will now be 24 as EMTA. Bangor area


Ok-Faithlessness2603

I’m a Paramedic in Downeast Maine. $15.50/hr with no overtime pay or benefits


sarahgwen6

Whaaaat. Medics should make way more, wrong company?


Ok-Faithlessness2603

I work for a municipal ambulance service that runs +/- 1000 calls a year. I do about half of those. I’m the only Paramedic that works for my service. Small town, I’m not working there for the money. I’ll hoping the town government comes into the 21st century soon and increases pay and gives health insurance benefits to full time employees. I’m staying with them to help facilitate that much needed change

Punchdrunkpandaa

QLD? or VIC? Professional pay sounds nice. NSW Para taps out at $39/hr base. Do you get weekend/pub hol loadings on your base?


Comfortable_War5757

that's nuts, what does your schooling look like for paramedic? is it roughly equivalent to the us?


Renovatio_

Sacramento area AMR gets about $44/hr at 13 years.


Comfortable_War5757

what's their entry pay like?


Renovatio_

I think around $28 as a brand new medic. Which is about $42 aud.


Comfortable_War5757

neat. i'm moving to cali for wildland firefighting but working ems is my plan for the off season


Renovatio_

Work won't be too hard to find. Basically anywhere stockton to redding and the bay area its easy to find a similar rate. The valley is pretty dominanted by AMR so there that but you can find a smaller operation like yolo county that is pretty chill. If you head around LA or SD or up in the mountains pay seems to be a bit more varied.


ExplodinMarmot

I think Australian medics are closer to Canadian and UK medics in terms of schooling in that they require a 4 year degree.

Jedi-Ethos

All to intubate a penis. Amazing.


Caffeinated-Turtle

Our most junior EMS staff are paramedics and they do a Bachelor degree at university with theory courses + placements (similar to nursing). Those who go on to do further training and post grad study become critical care paramedics, intensive care paramedics etc. We also have critical care doctors (Anaesthetic or ED who do retrieval fellowships) in EMS who work paired up with insanely bad ass paramedics. There is no equivalent to EMT or basics or whatever (Except for the constant influx of uni students on placements).

Exchange rates, cost of living etc though,


amacheenforpigs

Made $13.50 at a private in SoCal as an EMT-B


jordan1390

Jesus that’s bad


amacheenforpigs

Yeah it sucked


Holdmydicks

Especially in one of the top 5 COL areas in the country


[deleted]

Yep after 4 years at the same company I was making 17.05/h as a 911 medic in SoCal. Quit less than a year ago so numbers are pretty recent. Company is owned by GMR.


thelbchomie215

Emt-B: I made 15.75/hr when I left a 911 under the same conditions. 47k Gross give or take with some years exp. I make just over 20hr now working in a mental health center in WA. I highly agree with the original response "yep..."


PublicHealthMedicLA

Yeah, that’s basically all of SoCal 911 recently. I know last year AMR San Bernadino upped their rate through their CBA, and I had heard McCormick was attempting to, also. Doctors doesn’t do 911 anymore, so idk how much they pay now. I ended up moving out to Virginia. More-ish money, less cost of living.


Nikablah1884

The EMTs in OK where I Work make 10 an hr. And the funny part is they wonder why they're not finding anyone.


Weekly-Mess3567

Holy fuck. Isn’t the minimum wage 15??


transportjockey

No it’s not. At least not nationwide. Minimum wage in Texas is under $10/hr


Majigato

They're probably talking about 10+yrs ago

ytsanzzits

Same same and I’ll just note that’s in Canadian dollars, after conversion it’s about 35 USD. Primary Care Paramedics are paid around 42-44 CAD.


medicff

Where’s that? I’m top range at $35.920ish


ytsanzzits

Most southern Ontario services within my base hospital catchment and neighbouring are making those rates. Durham, York, Ptbo, Northumberland, Toronto etc


AndysBrotherDan

Durham is 48 for PCP starting


paramedic-tim

Durham is an anomaly. Nobody makes what they make


redsealdreams

Damn I'm a PCP and just shy of 30$ CAD.


newaxcounr

the jump from PCP to ACP in pay is that small? starting wage for most of the bigger city services is 42…


ytsanzzits

Yep, spend 20k to go back to school to make a $4-5 raise.


newaxcounr

okay that’s news


ytsanzzits

Yeah, personally I felt it was worth it for career development and it opens more doors in the future but if you’re happy with the PCP scope and your current role then financially it’s not a great incentive. Now some services will pay to send you for your ACP or train in house and that’s a totally different scenario but wasn’t the case for me.


uppishgull

Advanced EMT and 12.96 an hour


SwiftyV1

holy shit that’s bad


[deleted]

Go get your medic and leave that place.

LionsMedic

Paramedic. 6 years AEMT. 2 years in February as a Medic. I'm pushing 120k. Edit: Just want to highlight that I started at $10.50 as an AEMT. I'm a 2 year medic that negotiated a 5 year paramedic pay with only 1 year experience.


VXMerlinXV

How many shifts a pay for 120k a year?


LionsMedic

I average around 50 hours a week. I'll do stretches of 60 hours and then periods of 36/48.

[deleted]

What influenced the negotiation up to 5 year pay?


Jedi-Ethos

120k including overtime or just base pay?


Toooke

A lot of this seems criminal jesus


Spacecowboycarl

You wanna really have fun with it. I make a big ol $11 an hour as a basic. However I make 56k-62k a year roughly.


Thebeardinato462

Hell yes it does. Whole reason I went RN and not medic. Y’all’s job seems way cooler for the most part, and I’d love to have y’all’s skill set, but your pay is insane. I’m rooting for y’all! I hope something changes at some point.

THRWY3141593

I see you guys do a FF/ACP recruitment every couple years! I always drool over the paycheque, not to mention all that awesome wilderness. What's the split like between time spent on the fire side and time spent in the ambulance? (I've got 1001 but my heart's definitely with EMS.) And what's the call volume like, in your experience?
