Hi I am a student at lutheran school of nursing, I have a question about work. I'm currently working as an EMT and i get a lot of down time between calls to do homework and its working out well. However my friends keep saying i should get a tech job for the experience. I'm currently making a few more dollars an hour than tech in my area area are making and a lot of the time they are paying me to do homework. I was just wondering if the experience of being a tech at a hospital is really going to help me become a better nurse when I graduate or should I just stay where I am.
