The Official EMTLIFE Introduction Thread

New here too and loving all the info available to search. Has been a great resource.
 
Hey everyone, My name is Josh. I became an EMT-B in July of 2012... and still havent found work in the Sacramento area. Lol, but like this is a surprise to any of us. ^_^

I'm 23, and am enthralled with medicine. More specifically critical care. My mom is an RN, and diffinitive care just doesn't strike my fancy. anyways... I'm here to make connections and learn from you guys, and gals, the ways of EMS life.
 
Howdy, I'm here because I'm aspiring to be a fdny paramedic/EMT I'm open to learning any and everything and hope to have a good time!

Medic8ed - Canadian

Hi all, I'm "Medic8ed" a " PCP/ IV" in BC Canada. I have an amazing husband and a wonderful 6 year old son. I live in the middle of nowhere and am considered part time at a low call volume station. I go to the city and ride third with ALS and BLS whenever they will have me. currently I am registered for ACLS, ECG interpretation and hope to successfully apply to the ALS program intake fall of 2014. I've always had a passion for emergency medicine and just love the many adventures this diverse and dynamic job brings my way.
in my spare time I love cooking an baking, horseback riding, running, hiking, camping, fishing and hunting.
I'm always striving to practice better and learn more without looking like the over achiever/ know it all etc.

Three boarder collies? You're a patient person. I have one, and that's enough. :)

Greetings from Alaska. It is snowing today.

I am a new member of a rural volunteer Fire/EMS department. I started November of 2012. I just received my certification as an ETT which I believe is AKs version of EMR. I am also the village pastor and acting as our chaplain.

I am looking forward to getting critical incident stress management training through the state's chaplaincy organization. I have benefited from a debrief following a fatality during our response to an MVA.

Our department serves our village and a 100 mile stretch of highway that sees a lot of tourist traffic including RVs and tour buses. Typically during the summer, 1 million square miles of forest burns. That seems like a lot unless you know AK is truly massive.

We also do a lot of SAR work in areas surrounding us. Our distance from the hospital is such that our hour drive to it is still shorter than the average life flight times given the state's size.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot from my department and also from you good folks.
 
I just received my EMT Basic and I would like to work as a Wilderness EMT. Does anyone know where I could find work in Oregon? I'm brand new to all of this and I've been trying to find jobs, but they seem a bit scarce. I really don't want to work in the city.

Welcome to the forum.
There's a guy with a name in red here named FFEMT, I don't think you'll be able to pm him yet with your post count, but he's in Washington and he'd be the guy to talk to. Good job on Emt B

Hi all. My name is Diana. I am a highly trained EMT-B with trauma under the buckle. Received my initial EMT skills through the military. With that said--Military EMT's get some very good life saving skills in the class and in the field---I did. Later, I went to the civilian sector and received more education as an EMT-B. I have been an EMT since 2003. I was 38 at the time. I have had the privilege of receiving some valuable skills through the military, and civilian education. I live in the fine land of Colorado, and love it. :cool:
 
Hey guys, I'm Kirk. I'm a rokkie EMT-B from the Philippines. ^_^

Started from being a first aider with the Red Cross and now reviweng for my exam for EMT-B with the PSEMT. :)
