My first day on the job is tomorrow guys. Any tips?

Has being an EMT changed how you look at life? If so, how? I'm sure seeing death and saving lives HAS to have an effect on one mentally. How has it altered your look on life? I'm a recently certified EMT and can't wait to find a job and I was just curious.

Congrats! I just passed the emt-b test last wednesday and I was elated. I'm sure you're extremely happy cause now you're a medic! What did you use to study?

3. Your unit has been called to an unconscious patient lying on the side of a rural road. The reporting party was a passing motorist who called, stating that there were 3 or 4 other people who appeared to be attending the person.

I'm gonna be honest...the FIRST thing I'm going to do is get the 2010 Camaro Convertible. I believe in living it up and living for the day then once I become a certified paramedic I'm going to move into a big house and start a family (I'm 20 years old). I started class last august and made it...
