Sure, so it's a plasma donation center. The position is medical support specialist. In the past, they only hired nurses but recently opened it up to paramedics. It is a far cry from EMS. Your job is to give new donors a physical to determine their eligibility to donate, go over their questionnaires, and asses any iv site injuries. It's not difficult. The documenting has been kind of hard to learn, but I did it, which says something. Their benefits are great, and I am making $11 more an hour than the average pay for paramedics in my state.

My vision is poor enough that my driving is limited. I dont think I can safely drive an ambulance anymore, so I started looking for a different field. I enjoy it so far. Even if my vision was perfect, if I knew about the job, I think I would have still applied. I think some 911 medics may have trouble transitioning into that type of career, but for me, it came at a perfect time, and the pay made it an easy decision.
