EMT-B in high school at 18 for vocational ed class, but didn't get a job as an EMT till I was 22. I worked as a CNA/Tech in the hospital along with a few other jobs before I got the itch to get in a rig. Should be a EMT-P by 26 if I get into the program this January ::fingerscrossed:: I want a CCT rig by the time I am 30, but I will be cutting it close.

I was 16 when I started running with my current agency. I was 17 when I got my EMT cert. In fact in 4 months it will be one year since I had it. And I am still learning. I should also review material I have forgotten.

52 when class begins January '10

However, Scouts first aid, RC Lifesaving at 12, wilderness first aid books for 'packing and climbing, RC CPR and FR at work, infant/child CPR as new parent, "doctor Dad" for a few years now.

"Doctor Dad" is good to have on a resume, we had a scenario of a 3 y/o patient who ate flowers off his mom's plant. He was being held by his mother and crying. BP was normal, HR was normal, Adequate Breathing, no signs of allergic reaction, pt monitored for 15 minutes with no change in vitals and no other remarkable presentation. (that info was of course worded differently) The possible answers were along the lines of,
a) High flow O2, Lateral Recumbant, Rapid Transport
b) Call Poison Control
c) Activated Charcoal, High Flow O2, Trendelenberg Position
d) Advise the mother to keep an eye on him and call if he begins experiencing problems.


About 90% of our class went with the 3 incorrect answers. Being a dad myself, i went with D.
