Hi everyone, just happened to come by these forums tonight so I decided to register. My name is Steve. I have been an EMT-B since April 2011. I have been a 911 Dispatcher for 11 years but I am new to the EMS field on the other side of the radio.
At dispatch we are trained Emergency Medical Dispatchers. When I heard the EMT School at Marquette General Hospital in Marquette Michigan was hosting an EMT-B class I decided to enroll. I did not have the 1000 dollars to take the class but I was lucky enough to convince my boss that having EMT training as a dispatcher was a good thing so they paid 75% of it.
So, got into EMS because of work but the more I did the class and my clinical work the more I enjoyed it. This Thursday I will start as a Medical First Responder in the Township I live in. I am really excited to get started. There is also a Township about 30 miles from me where I grew up. They are a Specialist Rig. I am also a volunteer on a limited basis with them.
So, wish me luck. Any questions of me please feel free to ask.
Steve
