Jems 2010 salary & workplace survey: an employee's journey.

Abstract

Keisha Johnson sits unusually straight in her chair and holds securely to her application packet. The waiting area is filled with other EMT and paramedic candidates applying for open positions at Page Paramedics, a not-for-profit ambulance service that partners with fire departments to provide emergency ALS transport. Keisha completed her paramedic program in the fall and worked for a small inter-facility transport service on nights and weekends while she went to school, but this would be her first paramedic position and chance to do traditional EMS work.
