Just waiting for my EMT classes to start in August. I just put my application in for the volunteer Fire Department in my town. Can't wait to get started.
Buy paramedic coach content now and start following his plan. Makes school a little bit easier and adds an awareness to certain things that your school might cover.
Mr Evan. I had to quit Emt school twice due to bad choice w smoking, I have one more shot in August. Nothing will stop me getting it and becoming a first responder / EMT
Today is my paramedic final my last day in Medic school. I've spent 24 years as an EMT Basic and then advanced and hopefully I pass Registry and I'll be a Medic!
I am a member of a volunteer fire dept that does a "pay per call" system. I used that "pay" to pay for EMT class. Found an evening class with a different local FD because I was working full time supporting my family. Passed NREMT and was hired part time with an ambulance district. Worked hard and eventually was hired full time. Took a part time job with a different district and am currently saving money to pay for Paramedic school. If you want it, GO GET IT. It;s not going to be handed to you. Buckle down and find a way. It's WORTH IT!
Got my EMT and worked privates for a year to get comfortable with pts and a truck. Spent 3 years working one of the busier 911 systems in Massachusetts. Learned a lot. Now in medic school. I got to start school with seeing a lot first hand of what has been learned in class up until this point. With that being said a crap ton still to learn and switch of mindset from BLS to als.
I became a CFR in 2007 after finishing my firefighter I after joining my local volunteer FD. 2009 I did my emt. For the longest time I didn’t think I could be a emt, but after going on some calls as a helper with my FD I realized I could do it. 2013 finished my NYS EMT-CC, step below a paramedic and in 2019 I did my paramedic at wishes old. In 2012 I became a paid emt and in 2013 became a paid ALS provider and been working 2 full time jobs as a Medco since. I do 3-24hr shifts and love it. I still also volunteer as a firefighter and medic. I watch your videos cuz I’m always wanting to refresh and learn, you need to keep learning in this business.
i’ve pretty much known my whole life i wanted to be in the medical field, no matter what i did. i starting thinking about ems a few years ago, now i’m almost 19 and starting an emt-b class in the summer with a nearby community college! my end goal is to become a flight medic! so excited to start this journey and so glad i found you to study and keep me focused and on track!☺️
Planning on taking an accelerated summer EMT course in the next few months. Do you recommend taking a slower paste course over a full semester instead? I know it will be intense over the summer since it will be so much information crammed in a handful of weeks; I just want to make sure I get the most out of my course!
I’m currently a P2 student & started medics immediately after EMT. During EMT, our curriculum consisted of 5 rides & 3 clinicals, so we got a decent amount of experience while studying. Our instructors also touched on some medic material during EMT school so that we’re not completely blindsided once we went into P1.. I knew next to nothing prior to EMT school as well, but I do definitively feel it has a lot to do with how your school’s program is set up. I’m going for firefighter (we have to do all 3 here in FL - EMT, Paramedic, & Fire) & I had no idea I would enjoy the medical aspect of the career as much as I do. Cardiology is actually one of my faves. It’s fascinating once you begin to understand it
I had orientation tonight for EMT class. The same program is taught directly through the fire department and through the community college. I chose the college route because the class hours worked best for me. There aren't any volunteer ambulance services around me (most of the area is contracted with AMR), so the instructor told us to use ridealongs as job interviews. Here in Washington state, you're required to pass the NREMT and get a job before you can apply for a state license.
I actually took a 6 week emt course that was offered at my local community College. been working now for almost 6 months and the agency I work for are now training all emts to be AEMT (while on the clock so payed). I've also noticed that most medic programs in my area are shortening down to 10 months because they expect people to already have ems experience. It's also important to find an agency that offers to pay for medic school! Because of the shortages in staff lots of places are offering benefits like that so picking the right one to work at is also key for saving money!!
I started my EMS journey back in high school where i did my EMR class but did not pass the final exam to become certified. I was bummed out that i didn't pass but it gave me some basic skills needed to advance in the EMS field. That was back in 2018, the next year i signed up and went to my EMT course and passed that and gained my National and state I didn't really start EMS till 2021 due to the pandemic in 2020 and no one wanted to hire at the time i started on an ambulance and then became a security emt basically doing my EMT function while also doubling as a security officer for an indian casino. I want to go back to school to become a medic but just don't feel as if im ready
Hi Evan. I'm going g to be doing my emt diploma in New Zealand. I've found a few of your videos extremely helpful. My question is if it would be a good idea in regards to my situation ( being in New Zealand) if I should invest in your course? Or is it more specific to american procedures. Either way I'm very thankful for what you do
Its very interesting to see the comparison of EHS in the US. Here in Canada, in my home province of BC, the EMR level is the first step to becoming a paramedic and I completed the course in just two weeks. I have my provincial licensing exam coming up soon, after which it is possible to work for the provincial ambulance company, or a private one. I hope to get experience working as an EMR while also working towards my paramedic certification, which takes a few months. Perhaps the reason it takes considerably less is because there is a massive shortage of EHS workers here in BC, especially in remote areas.
I went to a community college did a EMT program that was four months, the next semester I did paramedic school and I work at a fire station and they pay for your Fire Academy, so I’m currently in Fire Academy
Question! You come across someone unconscious, no trauma, they're not breathing, there's no obstruction. Whats your next step? CPR? Or checking for a pulse?
I wish it was the same here in Canada. As a 16 year old whos insanely intrested with paramedicine, we don't have EMT's here, we have primary care paramedics, advanced care paramedics, and critical care paramedics. Here in ontario Canada, we can't do ride alongs or even go to stations, This leaves people like me who want to get exposed to EMS and paramedicine with nothing to do but just wait until we're 18 and can apply to college for school. It's unfortunate because I don't just wanna sit here and wait until I'm 18, so at 15 and 16, I became lifeguard, took up ski patrol, became a medical venturer, and got online certs in ECG interpretation and cardiac emergency medicine. Is there anything else I can do? any advice?
Ah yes, the famed zero to hero track. Do you really not think that a lack of stress tolerance and experience for an ALS provider is not that big a deal? Even just knowing how to move, taking initiative on calls -- skills you only gain from experience. I would suggest at the absolute least 2 years of 911 in a moderate to high volume area. Get a sense if the job is even for you before investing in becoming a medic. Also, during the time on the job, you can talk with medics who likely have been doing the job longer than you (or your parents) have been alive. Do you really think foregoing all of this and more is wise for a new medic?

Currently in AEMT school. Super nervous for my final and clinicals. I have contacts to start paramedic school right after.
Just finished an emt program yesterday. If you are in Los Angeles, I can recommend the program through UCLA.
6 months into my EMT career in LA, I can’t wait to go to medic school 🙏🏽

Could you do a video talking about emr/eca? I'm about to go through a 2 week program to be certified as an ECA but I'm a bit terrified of failing.

Tips for trying to get into flight medic im already in EMT class I'm going in the army and want to be a combat medic then go to paramedic school after
Question! You come across someone unconscious, no trauma, they're not breathing, there's no obstruction. Whats your next step? CPR? Or checking for a pulse?
Check for a pulse. That will determine whether you need to do CPR.
Good video, but I think the effects were alittle much. Love the content!

I was that 16 y/o in my EMT class.
Was it weird or scary?
I'm 16 right now, and unfortunately we can't do something like that here in Canada. I do have certs in ekg interpretation though which I got online.
@@Honeypieasmr15 I was intimidated for the first day, but I was really excited to show up for every day after that.

I'm looking for a ems academy I am with high school
In your college
Msc course in EMTs
You don’t need 3-5 years of busy ems work. Just get the medic. The world needs medics
