Just passed the NREMT last week and got my state License yesterday. I'm pretty excited to start my new job tomorrow.
Congrats! It’s such an exciting and rewarding job, you’ll love it! 😊
Mind me asking how is it so far?
it's surprising how often I'm not doing the things I expected to do.
I think maybe 5 times over the last year I've wrapped a bleed or bone. The majority of your calls are people having anxiety attacks. Or old people who need help getting back on their feet.

Congrats!
Djkyou 🌹😘😘 36 ❤ I had a birthday are you single how old you are
First responders literally deserve the world. Thanks for everything you do! 💕
Of course!! ☺️ thanks for the comment!
Fixing to start EMT classes next month and am super nervous, but in a good way. I've always been interested in a career in the medical field but had to put it on hold for starting a family young. Wish me luck!
Good luck! The classes are difficult but it’s so rewarding when you’re done!
Sounds very similar to me! I’m starting this journey soon 😇 best of luck to you 😊
9 months later, any updates on how classes went?
paramedic from Ontario Canada here It’s always I wish you well on your next shift
You are so pretty 😍 I really enjoyed this video there’s not many videos like this on UA-cam so I got so excited when I seen this pop up! Go girl 👏🏼
Thank you so much!! 😊😊
This was awesome! keep the vids comin! im gonna be starting a EMS Academy within the next 6 Months i hope and actually found this video reassuring and even helpful!
That’s awesome! Good luck! Thanks for the comment!
God Bless from Niagara Falls 🇨🇦
In the application process right now, waiting on a background check this saturday. Hope it works out trying to balence high school and EMT school at the same time if things work out. I look forward to the opportunity ahead!
Best of luck with your application! Thanks for the comment! 😊
Awesome video. I just graduated EMT school and about to take the NREMT 😁
That’s awesome! Good luck on the NREMT! It gets significantly better once you get past that, you’re almost there! Thanks for the comment! 😊
Thank you
Dang an emt that’s awesome! Hope studying is going well 😊
Thanks! 😊
Thanks for the video
@@Alexia.Mishock nice
I went back to school to become an EMT I'm excited 😂😂😂
@@gabrielcastro6601 nice
Wow you guys have a different set up than us.
Vegas we have so many calls & we wait inside the ambulance the whole time.
Wow when do you have time to do charts then!?
@@Alexia.Mishock we do them on the way to the hospital lol or whenever we have free time.
It’s crazy out here in vegas with the call volumes
@@Champe92 wow that is crazy I can’t even imagine!
As a UA-camr and medic myself I looked at your view count. Definitely use what god gave you and edge your way into your bread and butter content! Good video!!!
Thank you so much! 😊
That was pretty cool. So you guys have living quarters at your station? Must be fancy.
Thanks! We do have a kitchen, fitness area, washer and drier, and sleeping quarters. Assuming you are a first responder, i wonder what your station is like?
@Alexia Mishock I'm actually not a first responder yet. I'm someone who has great interest in becoming one with the next year or so. I just stumbled upon your video and find it fascinating that EMT have an option of working somewhere like that, never occurred to me tbh
Very cool! Yeah the majority of stations I’ve been to have at least a kitchen. We usually work 12-hour shifts so it’s very nice to have a place to heat up food or use the fridge. Also when working night shift it’s nice to have beds (although the one station I work at only has couches).
you just took my breath away please help me LOL just kidding
😆😆
Hello, Australian paramedic here; could you do a video on the equipment and drugs in your ambulance? As an EMT do you work with a paramedic? I miss the 14 hr. nightshifts we did without turning a wheel. Nowadays it's 12-hour shifts, there's a job waiting for you when you start, and work all through the night doing about 8-10 jobs. An FOT is extremely rare too!
Yes, I work with a paramedic sometimes or sometimes just with another EMT! Very cool to hear from Australia, thanks for the comment!
@@Alexia.Mishock Can I ask what a paramedic does where you work that an EMT can't do? It's a little different in Australia; to be allowed to work on an emergency ambulance you have to be a Registered Paramedic, and it's technically illegal for somebody who's not to perform such work. Similar to nursing, where you do 3 years at university and a year as an intern to become a registered Paramedic.
@@coover65 yeah so paramedics can do IV’s, give meds, monitor EKGs, intubation, all the advanced life support skills. EMT’s only can do basic life support skills such as CPR, taking vital signs, or administering aspirin, glucose, oxygen. Hope that helps!
Are you allowed to wear Kevlar under your uniform at your department? I’m getting into the EMT then firefighter space here in LA and was told they get shot at sometimes
Sure if you want to. Never heard of anyone being shot at here tho!
you have the same car as my mom (who is also an emt, she was featured on CBS eye on America)
Ooohh that’s very cool!!
0:34 Dang girl, that door is super tall!
Or maybe I’m just super short! 😂 jk it’s an 8 ft door
I just graduated high school and going to school to be a EMT I’ve always wanted to do medical is it stressful during the school part of becoming an emt
It’s a bit stressful during the class but it’s so rewarding once you get out! Good luck! 😊
Hey so question if one plans on going into the EMT field of work. What High School courses should one take? Also do you recommend going to college?
Hey! Take some basic anatomy courses or medical terminology courses! I do not recommend going to college to be an EMT unless it’s needed! If you want to be a paramedic though I think you would need an associates degree in most places!
Olá! Tudo bem? Quanto tempo você trabalha nesse serviço de ambulância? Há muitas ocorrências graves na cidade onde você trabalha? Assim que possível compartilha um pouco mais essa realidade que você vive. Parabéns pelo trabalho. Deus te abençoe menina.🙏🚑👩🏼⚕️ Saudações aqui do Brasil🇧🇷🚑👨🏻⚕️
Hello! I hope you can translate this! I’ve been an EMT for almost 2 years. There are many emergencies we get called for but not many extremely serious calls! I have heard of some and been on some but they don’t happen everyday! A lot of the extremely serious calls don’t even appear on the news either! Let me know if you want to know anything else! Very cool you’re from Brazil and thanks for the comment! 😊
@@Alexia.Mishock Ah yes, I managed to translate with the help of google translator and I'm trying to express myself better with you through it too 😅. That Cool ! You've been a paramedic for 2 years! How do you feel working in this service? Do you like? Here in Brazil I have been working in the emergency service for 12 years in Ambulance and Pediatric Emergency Room. I am happy to know you a little, despite the distance, I promise to be a good friend so that we can share some experiences. God bless you, Until next time. Congratulations on the job. ☺️🚑👩🏼⚕️
@@Alexia.Mishock Ah sim consegui traduzir com a ajuda do google tradutor e tô tentando me expressar melhor com você através dele também 😅. Que legal ! Você é paramédica há 2 anos! Como se sente atuando nesse serviço? Você gosta? Aqui no Brasil atuo no serviço de emergência há 12 anos em Ambulância e Pronto Socorro Pediátrico. Fico feliz por te conhecer um pouco, apesar da distância, prometo ser um bom amigo para compartilharmos algumas experiências. Deus te abençoe, Até a próxima. Parabéns pelo trabalho. ☺️🚑👩🏼⚕️
I’ve been an EMT for about 2 years and I really like working in this service! Wow 12 years on the ambulance is crazy! Working in a pediatric emergency room must be very cool too! Thanks for sharing, it’s very cool to know I have some viewers from Brazil! 😀
@@Alexia.Mishock Glad you like this job! The cool thing is that in addition to helping people, we also become better people for God and our country and with many stories to tell our children in the future. Success in your work. God bless you. Maybe one day we can share some stories.
Hi dear
Shahzad EMT From Pakistan
Kindly make EMT work and information related videos. You done your job veary well.
Thanks 👍
Hey thanks for the comment! So cool to have viewers from Pakistan! Sounds good I’ll try to make more EMT related content! 😊
amazing video!!
i begin my 8 week EMT course in 3 days. Any advice?
Thanks! I think my class was around that length too! I would just say be ready to put in some work and study hard, but once you’re done it’s so rewarding to be able to make an impact on people’s lives the way first responders do! Good luck with your class!
So after 8 weeks do you get to work on an emergency ambulance? Are you supervised by a senior clinician?
Great video. I am a paramedic graduate in Turkey. Do I need to study in school again to work in the USA?
Thanks! I’m not too sure! I think if you can pass the NEMT-P exam you don’t have to retake the class but I’d have to look more into it to know for sure! Thanks for the comment though, loved hearing from you!
@@Alexia.Mishock Okay thank you very much😊
Any specific tips for studying for the NREMT? I take mine in March
I would say just do a whole bunch of practice problems! I got an NREMT study book online which helped me so I would definitely recommend doing that! It’s a tough test but you’ll do good if you prepare. Good luck! 😊
How’d you do ??? Any update ??
What pants do you wear?
Did 30 years in ems
DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN EMT
YES
Alexia how you doing I have been Paramedic 20 + years.
Hey! Great! Very cool! Are you tired of it at this point or do you think going on different calls is exciting?
@Alexia Mishock Alexia if I wasn't medically retired they would be burying me in my Ambo as they are referred to now I would do the job for free.
Does it pay well?
Depends on the station but it definitely could be better! 😅
No. Absolutely not hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
hahahahahahahahaha
ok I'm done
Pays better then being a cna….

Things not to have as medical personal while on duty: painted fingernails and a watch...
I'm gonna be honest. As a paramedic on an ambulance that averages 10-15 calls per shift. I envy your no hitter.
Haha I know what you mean! The one station I work at gets little to no calls (as you saw) and the other one probably gets about 10-15 calls per shift too! I’m going to do a day in the life at that station at some point!
Are you a emt b a or p
EMT-b!
She didnt even explain anything 😡 only music
I’ll do it in the next EMT video just for you! :)
