Underpaid compared to RNs - Critical Care Flight Paramedic Air Methods Employee Review

The individual maintaining of multiple certifications throughout local entities is tedious and frustrating. Currently, paramedics operate under the limited local state EMS protocols they are licensed under instead of operating under the "blanketed" Air Methods protocols and procedures. This means the paramedics are trained in all critical care advanced procedures (as are the Flight RNs) but based on the state/location, we are unable to perform them.
