Newbie Intro

[JustinBieberFan]

Hi Everyone!

I thought I'd introduce myself here. My name is Mike. I took my EMT-B training at the UCLA Center for Prehospital Care and recently passed the NREMT exam. Now I'm applying for certification here in California. I live in Rosamond, CA which is about 80 miles away from Los Angeles.

I plan on working as an EMT on a part-time basis. I work full-time as an engineer. I'm focusing my efforts on getting hired by an ambulance company but I'm also looking into working as an ER Tech. Any advice?

Welcome to the forum Mike! I think it's great to have people here with various real careers outside of EMS. You can certainly bring a different and valuable perspective. As far as advice goes, I'd recommend checking out the forum as a whole and using the search function, and then asking more specific questions as needed.

Sorry about your music preferences by the way :/ We're happy to have you anyway.

Thanks, Chaz!

Also, sorry about creating a newbie intro thread. I just realized there's another one at the top of this forum.

Mods feel free to delete.

Welcome to the forum. I'm pretty new as well.

Tell me about that name though, is it as self explanatory as it seems? Some times there's more to a name but sometimes there isn't. If you're really just a JB fan well then I'm sorry...I mean welcome.
