Alright, This might be long, but I could use some suggestions.
so I got my EMT-I license about 7 months ago. The city I lived in at the time only had 2 services: one hospital based, Where I did not meet an age requirement (their insurance requires 21 and older since so many people wrecked their trucks,-please, no age comments-) and the other is a fire/ems station, where they require you to be both firefighter and EMT.That is where my husband works. I tried there, but could not pass the physical agility (actually, I was taken to the hospital by ambulance for an asthma attack. ironic, eh? )
So we just moved to a city I used to live in, in a different state. The only other thing I need to get to work here is intubation, which I could easily get.
But... I am now 11 weeks pregnant. We are very excited, but I've been itching to get into EMS like crazy (I'm very, very passionate about it.) so, now, I don't know if I should apply and try and get a job to work the days my husband does, or if I shouldnt since I'm pregnant. I've also heard that I could lose my license if I dont work a certain amount of time within the first year of having it. I'm not sure if this is true.
Basically, of course I'm worried about the health of my baby, and i'm in a pickle with the fear of losing my license. :unsure:
Any suggestions? comments?
