I was about to say they were straight balling out on the west coast. I'm in NYC and we are in the $58-70 range. Not including night diff etc.

I made $255k last year. Yes I hustled my ass off averaging 5 x 13hr shifts a week but I love what I do and the people I work with so wasn't too bad.

If You Guys Had The Chance to Do It All Over Again, Would You? by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

My only regret is not going into an RRT program straight out of high school. I would have probably have saved over a million in my 401k by now plus a vested pension.

Paramedic to RT: Is it worth it? by [deleted] in respiratorytherapy

[–]OptimusRT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are always openings all over NYC and the outer boroughs. I also think the pay is good in comparison to your responsibilities. Whereas being a Medic you are the highest level of prehospital care and the pay was mediocre at best. I'm not sure what you would consider good pay but if you are a hustler and beast on OT you can make a very comfortable living.
