Hello everyone, my name is Maria, I'm 38 and live in IL. I took my state exam for EMT-B at the end of last year, am seeking a position with a service, and currently am on a volunteer fire department as an EMT to gain experience. I look forward to reviewing this site and getting to know some of you, and hopefully, will benefit from the experience here. I realize I am a NEWBIE :blink: and don't have much to offer at this point, but hope to some day. Anyone have advice on how to break into the EMS field? Will my age be prohibitive? The vollie position will help with experience, I also am working on my CE's, and can do ride-alongs with the ambulance service here anytime I want. What else can I do? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks. Have a good week, everyone.
