The Official EMTLIFE Introduction Thread

Oldie but newbie

Good day everyone...

Well, I posted somewhere else so it might be moved...sorry for the double post if that is the case.

I was on here several years ago, but didn't post much. But here I am again!!

I am an EMT-B, however currently not working as one. I am working full time at a surgery center as an Admin to the Director of Nursing.

I am getting married in less than 10 weeks, have 2 kids, and have a helluva future ahead of me. Would love to meet some new friends to chat about life, love, work, and everything in between.

I could be traveling in the future as my dearest is planning to join the Army... but that's a whole 'nother chapter.

Looking forward to meeting each of you.
 
Welcome back!

Hello everyone

I have posted a few times and I figure its time to introduce myself. I'm a 33 Y/O M with a wife and a couple of cats, I live in Colorado, close to ski country.
I've been working EMS for about seven years, five as an EMT-B and going on two as a EMT-P. I currently work for a rural fire department which is combined paid/volunteer with the vast majority being volunteer. We run about 600-700 calls a year and our district is about 500 square miles. I also work for a local hospital in the ER as a tech. This forum is great and I appreciate the feed back so far.
 
Wow.... its nice to meet so many with experience. I hope to draw upon it as I go through my own.

Currently a EMT-B and just got done with my paramedic program, so now I have to study and take the NREMT exams for my paramedic certification.

Hope to talk to you all.

Hello all

I'm here to read and learn and think about if I want to get any training in this. I am currently a teacher and several recent hair raising experiences with students on field trips have me firmly convinced that I need some sort of medical training past basic first aid.

I have taught almost everything in high school from A&P to Env Sci, and am now teaching middle school science. In the summers I am one of several teachers for a geology field course where we have kids in the back country.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,

My name is JW, I'm from Holland and currently working as a spec. Nurse (Recovery nursing) in Amsterdam.
I'm here to learn more from the EMS system, a system we don't know in Holland.

I've got the ambition to become a EM-P (dutch variant on the EMS-paramedic that is), but I've got a few years to go before I can become one.

I'm here to find out what the 'pro's and con's' are on the EMS system, from the perspective of the people who actually work in it at a daily basis.

I'll start a topic.

68W checking in here. Deployed to A'Stan with the 101st Airborne 08 to 09, currently stationed in San Antonio, 2 years left, looking to move into EMS once I'm out. Trying to get signed up to get my NREMT-P before I get out.

I've also been lucky enough to get signed up for PEPP, PALS, ITLS, and AMLS through the military. I've already taken PHTLS and ACLS.

I'll just be lurking. Lots of good info on here.
 
New EMT-B, looking for work in Orange and/or San Diego counties. Tough market.

Planning on moving to Montana in a year, so greatly appreciate any advice on the EMS system up there.
 
Hello everyone! I figured it might be time to actually throw a post in this thread seeing as I've already got a few in other parts of forum. I'm an EMT-Basic and I'm just about to complete my paramedic program. I've had a lot of fun learning about paramedicine and this forum has become an extension of my learning in many ways. I look forward to posting a little more now that I'll have some more free time.
