Hi everybody! (In my best Dr. Nick voice)

[ipscscott]

Hi all! Found you guys (and gals) through a Google search a few days ago and have been lurking (and laughing) since. The humor section is great! My coworkers all think I've gone crazy. Thought it was time to sign up and say hey.

Just a little about me by way of introduction...
At the moment my only cert is as First Responder, but I'm nearly done with my EMT-B program (taking my exam July 9 & 11, wish me luck). Unlike most here, I'm not actually in the healthcare profession, I work for an entirely different kind of circus. My current employer thought it wold be a good idea for a handful of the FR's we have on staff to continue on to EMT. I got to be one of those lucky ones. So far, I'm having a blast and really learning a lot.

Looks like this site will be another great resource.

Welcome to our own little corner of dysfunction.

I believe Chimpie started out in the same type of situation you're in with your employer, but I'll let him explain it to you.

Welcome aboard from Southern California!

I was kinda in the same boat as you. Work in occupational safety, and got involved setting up a medical response team...got my FR through that. Got me interested, so went on to get my EMT, then ended up joing the local VFD.

Again, welcome.

Welcome from Vermont.

You are not that much different than the rest of us. I work for our highway department full time and babysit our towns EMS part time. :blink:

Stay awhile and join in. Don't let some of us scare you away!!!!!!!!!

Welcome... I'm the reverse.... Started as an EMT, now working security..... "Mommy! I wanna play ambulance today......."

What sort of backround do you come from?

No, we've had this discussion, I'm a CPA. But not an accountant. I do auditing/consulting.

 

[MMiz]

Welcome!

During the day I'm a teacher / student, and every so often I whip out the 'ole uniform and play EMT
