'Bout damn time!
19 years old and I passed my NREMT on my second shot. I was ready to give up after I heard I failed the first time. But I sucked it up, studied my ass off, and did it. Now I'm a good mix of nerves and excitement as I apply for my first job as an EMT. Wish me luck imgur family!

If you're ever in an accident and some yells, "Call 911!", please, promptly say, "I am 911." Thank you

Yay! Good for you! While it may be a very taxing profession mentally, I know it will be worth it in the long run!!

Look at hospital outstations and urgent care, some of those places are now hiring us basic bitches.

Congrats!!! California EMT in IFT here, just know that if you're in either IFT or 911, you're still helping save a life no matter what.

Keep your national throughout your career, always wear your PPE, and try your hardest to find a Local union that takes care of its people.

If this helps you at all . when I was an EMT I remained calm in every situation NO matter how bad and remember your not the one hurt and 1/2

Be sure to have that 'second try' attitude when the defibrillator doesn't revive the old guy first time out

Welcome, and remember the hard feels hits when you dont expect it!

My buddy's husband was an emt. It can be emotionally crippling if you have a hard time reaching out.
KonstantinKay
It takes a certain type, I could not do it. But still your buddy's hubby is saving lives. I respect that. I have never been able to do that.

I assume this is nremt-b? Find a job with good medical and a 401k/403b.

Paramedics are no longer classified as EMTs. Now it is NRP (nationally registered paramedic). So EMT-B for basic or AEMT for advanced.
ageofthegeekbaby
As an Australian, what's the difference between the them??? You
GuinnessSteve
Paramedics are still EMTS. It's now EMT, AEMT and EMT-P

Not in America according to the national standard.

I was under the impression that the EMT had been dropped from Medic. I could be wrong though. Just got my AEMT and I saw it as NRP.
