i am certified in first aid cpr and aed i was hoping to get a leg up on emt if emt intermediate is to advance what about an emt basic book i feel that emergency medicine is one of my callings
Not to be belittling, but I believe in honesty and since you ask for help, here it is. I think you missed the point. Albeit CPR/AED is nice but my 12 year old great niece is certified, and this means nothing. Those are public education courses and are important part of the chain of survival, but in reality nothing to compare to medical courses.
If you really do feel the "call" then start at the basics of learning the body. This will determine if your calling is real or just a tinge of being a wanting to be a whacker. Obtain the knowledge of the parts and how they work, before attempting to "fix" anything. As well, please review the use of English, grammar, etc... Albeit, I am no expert, but most courses require the use of general standards as well as communicating to anyone.
Everyone has to start at the Basic Level. Many do not realize this is just an introductory course to teach the nominal basics, but even at that some realize this is not the profession to enter. One cannot "jump" ahead for many reasons. This profession not only require cognitive knowledge, but performance in skills as well. If one finds Basic EMT difficult, then I would seriously reevaluate my pursuit.
It has become seriously difficult to obtain a job or obtain experience at the Basic Level. Having the prerequisite basics, will allow one to enter most medic programs.
I wish you the best of luck in the pursuit of career.
