Thanks for bringing this up. Since many EMT/Paramedic/FF's are primarily stationed at one place, and work long hours, how are relationships with people you work with? By that I mean, is it like another family at work, or do people fight alot? Are some people snotty?

:blink: :blink: :blink: That would be awesome! But it seems like you would be more into the law enforcement and not so much the EMT part. I had a really :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty shift tonight in the pharmacy, and when I was right about to leave a customer asked for a favor...

If Im recalling the right story, I think it had something to do with a murder of a young girl who had signed up for a myspace account, and had made plans to meet a guy. Don't quote me though.

For me, it's all about Chemistry and Algebra. I just cannot pass it. No matter what I do, I cannot get this stuff to stick in my head. For a Flight Paramedic, I've been informed that you need to be a RN as well, with 3+ years in trauma/critical care (if I remember right). The RN degree is a...

After getting rid of the idea of Flight Paramedic (:sad:), I've been doing some research on Tactical EMS. I'm very intrigued. I realize that by taking these classes, you improve your knowledge on how to handle different situations. I'm wondering, however, when do you really utilize it...

I guess the best way to say it would be the place where you take your truck at the end of the day, and where you clock out and whatnot. MedicStudentJon- I knew it existed! :)

Thanks for all the input! I asked the question because for some reason in my head, the thought of a bunch of firefighters and men eating chips watching TV came to mind, and wondered if it was really like that. LOL. i_drive_code3- Your station sounds nice! Thanks again :)

Some EMT jobs are 24 on and 48 off. What do you do when there is no calls and nothing needs to be done to the truck? What is an EMT building like? Where do you take a power nap at? Is there a kitchen to make food in? Showers to clean up in? TV for really slow days? Just trying to get a visual...

I'm not even in school for EMT yet, so my input is literally nul. Others have posted great advice for you. What I'm wondering though, is there a supervisor or someone over you that you feel comfortable talking to? Not like "Oh my God this beeyach just did this..." but more along the lines of "I...

Welcome! :)

Grats!!

I'm about to start school April 3rd at one of the Technicial colleges near us. By us, I mean Wannabe is my sister. We're going to school and doing this together, which is pretty cool. Thanks for your offer to help :) I'm sure I'm going to have lots and lots of questions =P Sarah

Im from Conyers. Small town about 30 minutes from Atlanta. :)

Welcome GaEMT :)

Thanks Emtbuff for the answers the the help. I really appreciate it! On a sad note, I think I'm gonna have to change goals, lol. Flight Paramedic seems to have a lot of schooling and experience. :sad:
