    Part time EMT in Tucson, Arizona.

    Thanks ladies and gents... I'll give it a go, and keep in mind what everyone here's said. :) BuffOP, double thanks for the warning. Not sure I'm going 911 just yet - but if I do want to relocate, you've given me good tips.

    The Official EMTLIFE Introduction Thread

    Hi, I'm Maria. I'm former military, and currently considering going for my EMT-B credential. I did volunteer first aid while working on my master's in Scotland and really liked it. Also, I've been lurking here for a while. I've really learned a lot based on the posts I've been reading. Thanks!
