Welcome back to EMS now that you're older and wiser ;)



We're glad to have you both. EMS needs dedicated vollys who are excited about the profession and the fact that you are here proves that you are both :)
 
Paramedic for 911 based EMS service in southern (hot) USA.

Started as a volunteer bag carrier / chest compressor 8 years ago.

Generally really love the job, but getting old and tired and the second half of the 24 hour shift seems really, really long some nights.

Would like to earn more money and not work as hard, but don't know what I would enjoy doing as much.....

Joined the forum as a way to avoid studying A&P for a few hours!

Welcome to EMTLIFE Expat. Glad you could join us.
 
Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster. I just got all my certs about a month ago. I've applied for all EMT/ED Tech jobs available within an hour drive of Phoenix, AZ. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck yet and there isn't any sort of volunteer EMS service in the area or I'd join one in an instant. You guys have any other suggestions to boost my resume? I've taken some classes on the texas A&M WMD website on WMDs and terrorism awareness because they were required by my EMT course. I put them on my resume, should I do some more? Are there any other things like this out there on line?

I want to continue on with my education to get my paramedic as well but I'd like to already be working as an EMT for a while so I can get some experience or at least be able to know how to schedule my schooling around work.
 
Newbie!

Just thought I would introduce myself. Just finished my EMT course and passed the NREMT first try at 70 questions. Was not expecting the test to be like that all. I would necessarily call it difficult, but I had absolutely no idea if I failed it or not. It sure felt like I was guessing half the time haha. Now that I've passed I have to wait a couple months for the state to give me their cert. My plan from there forward is to begin with volunteering with the local fire dept until I can get a job with the local private ambulance company. Looking forward to being involved in this forum and the EMS community in general!

I'm Shane 33 started 15 years ago with a county based 911 service to many certs to list. Thankful to have a job and to lazy to do anything else. "Living The Dream"
 
Hi everyone!

I'm Ryan. 27 y/o M. Just started my EMT-B course after hitting the reset button in life. Decided my career path wasn't for me. Always had a passion for this and want to eventually go Medic for a FD, but we'll see! Anyway, I've been extremely excited since I started my course and I can't wait to see where this takes me.

Cheers!
 
Introductions

Hey Ryan,
Welcome to EMT LIFE!
My name is Jay, 28 y/o EMT who is in paramedic school. Let me be the first to tell you how beneficial this site will be to you, both trough out school
and your career. In just a few months this site has increased my learning substantially. Welcome and enjoy.
 
Howdy all. I am a paramedic / firefighter that has been doing this for 18 years. I have spent most of this time working in a urban fire-rescue system with 10 years also working part-time in a rural 911 EMS system. I enjoy the EMS aspects and I am looking to get away from the fire-rescue model. I would like to eventually move to a "pure" 911 EMS department.

Always glad to have a Firemedic here at EMTLIFE, and I wish you the best of luck in your search for an EMS only service. Part of the reason EMTLIFE was started was to give folks who were more interested in the EMS side of things a place to discuss EMS issues as opposed to some of the other sites that tend to lean toward fire department issues.
 
I didn't see this earlier.

I'm Jason, 22 years old and finally found direction thanks to the EMT school and I am very excited to become a part of the Ambulance service. I studied hard and after my clinicals it really clicked with me and I can't wait to start helping others as I saw in the field.
 
Hey yall! Im Ashley and Im 23 years old. I have been a first responder for 3 years and just recently became EMT B certified. In a little over a month I will be taking registry for Advanced EMT. I look forward to meeting new people on here and also learning new tricks and tips. :rolleyes:

Welcome to the forum. Good luck to you both.
 
Hello everyone,
My name is Scott, im 33(in 4 days) & im from south east connecticut. I completed my EMT course in April this year, passed both the Practical Exam & NREMT test in June. Im getting a later start in EMS then many of you, but im dedicated, motivated & ready to improve.
I want to thank all of the Veterans of this forum(a long list to type) for sharing your knowledge and experience. I have been reading many of the threads for the past couple weeks & many of the scenarios have already taught me some valuable lessons. In fact i also want to thank the creator(s) of this Forum because i genuinely believe along with my OJT/FTO program & Future Book learning's, EMTLIFE will have a significant impact on my growth in EMS.
I already know i cant "save them all" however, if what i learn from the Highly Intelligent Regulars of EMTLIFE gives me a better chance of any save at all, i hope it will make you proud that it was learned in this Forum.

Hello, All

Hey guys,

I've been lurking here for a while now soaking up some knowledge and learning the use of the search function, but I decided to go ahead and make an account in case I have something pertinent to add to the conversation as soon as I can find a job.

A little about me, I'm a newly registered medic in central Arkansas, and I'm looking for somewhere to some good experience under my belt with an organization that values education and development of its employees as I try to find my niche in the field. If anyone happens to have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, as information from new sources is always welcome.

I also want to thank all of the regular posters here for their commitment to answering questions for new people like me. I've already learned new things and have been challenged to examine myself as a provider already, and I hope that this continues as I grow. I look forward to contributing here in the future.
