    How old were you when you moved out?

    I moved out at 17 and started my EMT class right away and got licensed just after I turned 18. It was really difficult. I think the hardest part is patients not trusting you to be competent. You need to decide for yourself if you're ready for everything else.

    does the fear/nerves ever go away?

    does the fear/nerves ever go away?

    You just kinda gotta buck up and do it and it'll subside

    does the fear/nerves ever go away?

    Sometimes you just need to jump. I was really nervous to start medic school, but after having been in the field for awhile and being exposed to all these things, I'll be started in the spring! I'm kind of in the same boat, I got licensed last year, but was unable to work in EMS, when I finally...

    Moving and need help

    So, I got licensed last year as an EMT-B, I wasn't able to work for a year as no services were hiring at the time. Finally I got the spot. I've been working full time 911 for almost a year now. I just got engaged and my Fiancée wants to move and I'm not against it. We just signed a lease...

    Is there an App for that?

    I really don't mind the webpage, I just hardly ever use a computer so I was hoping for something a tiny bit easier to navigate without having to use the browser. I literally just started using Tapatalk about 5 minutes ago and it's pretty okay so far.

    Is there an App for that?

    Probably a silly question, and there's probably a thread somewhere but is there an App for this site? Or is there one in progress?

    Opinions on EMTs Under 18 yo

    I enrolled in an EMT class at 17 and didn't get licensed until 18, I do fine. I think it's more so about emotional capacity. As PT, I would be a little on edge too if my provider wasnt even allowed to vote or better yet, allow my own medical care. Where I'm from, you can be 17 with parents...

    Medic School

    I'm not really sure if this is best place to be asking, I guess it's as good as any. I'm currently an EMT- B, but the goal at the beginning was to be a paramedic. From what I understand the Basic class is nothing compared to Medic school. I'm thinking that the best way for me to go is the...

    Health & Fitness

    Hey everyone! I'm new here, and I have story, as well as a question. So I've been an EMT since April, however I have not been working as one. The only reason I am not is because I had failed the services physical fitness test. I was pretty beaten up about it, so I kind of gave up. Just recently...
