Hey everyone! It's been a while since I posted and I'm checking in to say hi and get some opinions about the guidance of my career path... I am the one who got laid off from my first ground medic ALS job just out of school after graduating With Honors. I am intending to become a Flight...

I will be a single role Medic, employed at the FD. Thanks to all of you for your support! :rolleyes:

Hi, everyone, hope you are all doing well. So after losing my first job as a new grad Medic due to lack of experience, I interviewed for another one last week at a Fire Dept that's a little closer to home. They offered me the part time Medic spot! That will be good for me to get in as a new grad...

Sounds like you have exactly what a good program would want! From the sounds of your post, you have nothing to worry about. I remember how excited I was the day I got my acceptance letter-it's a day you'll never forget! Good Luck to you, and let us know when Congrats are in order!! B)

Nope, I was training as a new grad ground medic. Need 3-5 years before I can fly.

I agree with Reaper-just call them and explain. You really have been through some circumstances, it sounds like, and the EMT world needs someone like you! Good Luck, and congrats on passing the practical exam! (twice!:wacko:)

Hi, everyone! Some of you probably remember my asking for your advice with my FTO in my first Medic job. Well, long story short, they assigned me another one without my saying a word, and he was fantastic! He taught me so much, and I was doing well. Imagine my surprise yesterday when they called...

Thanks everyone for your advice. Please don't totally knock me. I would never want to be viewed as a whiner and any communication I would need to have with anyone would occcur very professionally and tactfully. It is just hard enough to be new and go through nastiness when I don't treat ANYONE...

Hi Everyone, I am just begining my first Medic job and have been assigned to a very intimidating FTO. I am wondering if it's supposed to go this way? This person gets obviously frustrated with me and occasionally puts me down in front of other professionals on scene. I am really trying my...

And getting nervous! It will be my first Paramedic job, and I'll be working for a busy ground/air company, starting on the ground ambulance. I am so excited! I have worked years for this day. Am nervous too, since I'll be moving to a whole new city, and starting a whole new life. I want to be a...

This looks like fun! A little about me...33 year old female brand-new Paramedic getting ready to move (literally) towards my goal as: Yes-You guessed it! ;) FLIGHT PARAMEDICB) I will be starting a ground medic job and eventually training for air (my new company flies both fixed and rotor wing)...

Great job, Epi-Do!! You sound a lot like me, a hard-working, thinking girl who wants to make a difference, and you are! I hope that with some experience under my belt I can also be in the place you are now. I have gotten jobs in the past due to my outgoing, always willing to learn personality...

Have I missed something here? I respectfully agree with the OP about Paramedics needing to come together as the professionals that we are, but I also know that ALL EMS amounts to hard work, blood, sweat and tears. A great Paramedic can do amazing things, but I as experienced first-hand while...

The guys at my Fire Station all refer to me as 'The Blonde that always smells good' and 'Paramedic Girl' ;), but my new official title is also Newbie Paramedic! Loved reading all of your reponses! You guys (and girls) are cracking me up! :lol:

Hey, everyone! I hope you are all doing great. I had some time to kill while waiting for my first date (with a BlackHawk Flight Medic!), so I thought I'd go through the posts I have written over the last two years in my struggle to become a Paramedic, and all I can say is...WOW, did that all...
