Just saying hi to all...not sure how well I'll be appreciated here, though...I live on the other end of the EMS world...in the ED! I'm just starting as an ED Tech at Baptist Hospital in south Miami, FL. Anyways, good to meet you all.

Don't kid yourself, EMS personnel just LOVE ED personnel, don't we? Otherwise, we wouldn't have anybody to give our patients to!

Welcome to the forum, and I hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome!

I was initially an aspiring ER Tech. The nice Level 1 trauma center around me doesn't hire outside though. They said I'd have to push around wheelchairs and work on the floors for a year before I would be considered for ER tech, and I'd need to be an EMT-P.

Glad to have you here, so how do you feel about us EMS folk?

I must say, haven't had any experience as of yet. Baptist Hospital, where I will be working, actually has 3 seperate emergency rooms that make up the entire department. We are a level 2 trauma center, only because of some technicality that says privately funded institutions can't have some aspect required to be a level 1 (dedicated blood bank, maybe?). Anyways, I am looking forward to getting in there and getting some experience. I just landed the job offer a couple of days ago, and will be starting the 4 week training session on the 2nd. I got the 7p-7a shift, so you can be sure that I'll be getting all the juicy stuff to share with you guys. =) Looking forward to it. =)
