Confused on EMT-B?????
WOW, here in NYC, do to the high call volume, 2 EMTB'S staff a BLS (basic life support unit) and respond to all the trauma jobs; gunshots, stabs, jumper downs, MVA's and lower level priority call like difficulty breathers with no history and asthmas of a certain age. our system and FDNY respond to about 1 million calls a year. i have been a paramedic for sometime and i can tell you the EMT's get the bloody stuff, they call for our help when it is unmanageable. the starting is $20ish for the hospital based and $17ish for the municipal based BLS units. just last night we had a double shooting and one was a traumatic arrest. EMT'S got there first and requested medics for the traumatic arrest... we also get dual assigned on all medical arrests one BLS unit, one ALS unit(2 paramedics), a fire engine and a patrol supervisor. so the moral of the story is, anything high profile or just plane gruesome there will be EMTBS AND MEDICS working it side by side.

Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx
Im not a nurse there, but i worked as a paramedic in that neighborhood for sometime. the area is one of the ruff ones in terms of quality of patients: gunshots, stabbings, shootings, ect.... but you are right behind a community college and there is an FDNY station on premise, you have HHC police in the hospital and you are a couple of blocks from a police precint and a subway(two blocks)... i would not turn this oppurtunity down because of the location... there are tougher places in the city
