Are EMTs (and paramedics) usually required to work full-time?

Do they have the likelihood of working part-time as powerfully?

Answers:
The most common work hours for ems i.e. emt and emt-p (paramedic) is whats call a 24-48 which means 24 hours on shift and 48 hours past its sell-by date shift, second most popular way it is done is call 4 down 4 up. which means you would work 4 12 hour morning shifts (7am-7pm) , then your bad for 4 days , then you work 4 12 hour dark shifts (7pm-7am),then your sour for 4 days and the cycle repeats from there. these scedules are what most 911 ambulances use, but most ambulances that dont do 911 call and dont have to opperate 24-7 , usually work 8-10 hour shifts and are closed at hours of darkness, as a general rule at tiniest. in my assessment the 24-48 hour type shift is much better.( that is how my shifts work), more and more ems sevices at the present time are allowing prn( part-time )employees usually a minimum of 1 24 hour shift or 2 12 hour shifts, but usually wont permit you work less that a 12 hour block. these are broad guidlines for most mojor ems systems and fire depts that run ems also. hope this helps, any other direct question e-mail direct at army_rigger14@yahoo.com

I know that in my town, EMTs are required to work one four-hour shift a week, but probationary member (like yours truly) have to step in twice a week.

Yes, you can work for an ambulance company or for a hospital unpaid.

It really depends on the size of the town and how many other EMTs within are for one to have a flexible diary.

i know my step-dad was a emt and he worked full time, but you hold to fill ** times. depends on the city and state how may hours you enjoy to work.

my sister in directive is one. you're looking at starting 12 hour shifts. i'm sure you can switch to part time then. but when you start your clinicals, they run 12 hour shifts!
