Just wanted to introduce myself.
I am new to boards (as of today), which I found, as I was doing as search for some EMT info.
Started volunteering with a Fire Deparment about a month ago, about to take EMT-b training here in September, really looking forward to it.
I am 23 years old, graduated from college (Oregon State University) last year with a BA in History, started working as a volunteer coordinator for the Medical Reserve Corps (a volunteer disaster group) very worth while checking out. Really getting into emergency response and working with a variety of people in the medical field got me really interested in EMS.
Hoping to make this a career, even though this is not what I planned when I first went to college, granted a degree in history only makes me qualified to work at starbucks.
Looking to get onto a private ambulance company when I finish my training in December (granted I pass the tests.) and begin a career with EMS.
Looking forward to learning a lot from all of you, and from what I have gleaned from some of the threads, there is some vast knowledge here, which hopefully I will be able to learn from, and eventually contribute too!
And one last thing, as football season is almost among us,
Go Beavs!
