Yeah I was thinking about that also. I have only been working as a basic for about a month. I m think getting atleast 6 months experience then going for it. me personally im not comfortable going up a level without the road experience.:unsure:

seems like everything around here for any fire dept or 911 calls you have to be a medic

Im kinda irratated right now because i dont know if i will get any trama experience. I work for a private ambulance doing mainly transfers, dialysis runs ect...I dont want to work on a fire dept. I read all these post about trama and emt-b. How do i get that experience as an EMT-B without being...

ask questions The ride time is the best learning experience. You make of it what you put into it. If you dont ask qusetions It wont be worth anything.

Wtf! Thats funny but not funny if you know what i mean lol

I was wondering what we all did as jobs or careers before EMS? I worked in a factory for 8 years and was beyond "burn out". I wanted to do something where i was appreciated and made a difference. so my husband talked me into becoming an EMT. I went back to school and here i am loving to go...

In the Detroit area here I work for a Private Ambulance and we have them on our BLS rigs.

so you know for sure there is a strenght test? ususally that is done after you are hired and not in the doctors office. The doc will do the normal physical test like sqwat down, bend over touch your toes, listen to your lungs and heart, pee in the cup and blow into the breathalizer. then your...

I wish I was in your class! We only touched a backboard, strecher (1/2 hour), Jaws of Life and practiced our practicles, the rest was book exams and quizes oh wait and splinting. I wish they would have had more hands on training. I put that in the class evaulation from at the end of class. but...

at the time i think i missed one class. that was probably the day. I did not have it on national registry either :unsure: thanks for the info that helps.

Can someone please explain the ked and procedure for using one? I do not remember at all using it in class. I got my first ems job and I dont want to sound like an idiot :wacko: lol. thanks

Are you one a fire dept? If not then everything else will be just taking transport calls. It would be very rare to see this as a Basic. The most ive seen so far is decon our strecher that the patient pooped on :P

Try AMR American Medical Response they are all over the country or even do an online search in the yellow pages for private ambulance services in your area. starting out working for a private ambulance is your best shot at getting on a truck. Granted all you will do is basic non emergency runs...

Thank you. Appreciate it

Thank you see this was the answer i needed! unlike what there name up there that had to talk to me like i am a child or something. I feel glad that they are doing an orientation as it will be my first EMT-B job.

EXCUSE ME I AM A GROWN UP WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO ME LIKE I AM A CHILD? I JUST ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION. I DID NOT ASK FOR YOUR OPINION. maybe i need to make myself more clear before i post a topic. I just never had to do an orientation anywhere that i worked. maybe just a saftey video or...
