Anyone who has an idea of how it's like to be an ambulance nurse (in Metro Manila), and/or how much is the pay?

Re: Working as an ambulance nurse

same as the staff nurse. theres no difference

Re: Working as an ambulance nurse

pay is different... less work, higher pay. hehe! scene response is more exciting compared to inter-hospital trasport.
there's AeroMed, Lifeline, Ace Cor etc.

Re: Working as an ambulance nurse

Hello. I'm licensed in NJ and would like to try to apply as an ambulance nurse. Do I need to get another form/kind of certification.

Thank You,
Jazzy

Re: Working as an ambulance nurse

There is no ambulance nurse in the USA. There are nurses who are EMTS and Paramedics but there is no special license for an ambulance nurse.

Re: Working as an ambulance nurse

Thank you for your response.

having an EMT certification is an advantage.. there are jobs like this in Metro Manila, but same with the hospital setting, most companies are also into the "volunteer-trainee" thing. in some companies, you can be deployed in hospitals doing patient transport (hospital-hospital,responding to house calls), EMS (on highways), standby during concerts,social gatherings/events,sports event etc. and some companies even have their fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft for airlifting to far areas within the Philippines and in some cases abroad.
