Hi everyone! My name is Brad. I'm from Casa Grande Arizona and I start my EMT class on Jan 21st!! I am 33 years old and have been interested in EMS since I was a little kid. I finally have the time to start taking classes and become an EMT. I'm married (November was 1 year) and have a new baby girl. I look forward to talking with everyone and I'm sure I will have a million questions over the next few months. Hopefully someday I will also have some answers and can help someone just getting into it as well. (I dont think I have ever used the word I this many times in my life....) Thank you in advance! Brad
 
WELCOME!
I'm also a student and half way through my EMT 10 month program and it's probably the best thing I have ever done! I go out on my clinical practicum next week and am super stoked for it! Your going to love the program! But one tip of advise, know your anatomy and drugs like the back of your hand!
 
Hey welcome to the forum!

Best of luck with the program. If you have any questions feel free to ask them, but please use the search feature first before creating a new thread (as per KEVD).
 
Welcome, glad to meetcha!
 
Hey Brad,

congratulations, I am also new to the EMS world. I am awaiting my certification I just completed my training and schooling. It is a awesome ride with lots of knowledge and info. I hope you enjoy and learn a great deal as I did. You are starting younger than me, I am going to be fifty this year.
 
Bit of a late bloomer. Anyway welcome to the boards and good luck with your future in EMS.
 
Thank you all. I have been burning up the forum for a couple of days now and I cant believe the amount of information here. I am a late bloomer... LOL I have been a project manager for a local builder for a few years and made some pretty good money so I can afford to work in a less lucrative profession for a while. I cant believe I am actually doing it.

Welcome to the 'Life, and it's good to see another Eisenhower baby still out there doing stuff! I'll be a Golden Child on 8th March...
 
Thank you

Hello,

thank you for the encouragement. I still feel young and strong, I do not feel old.
 
crap I'm 22 and feel old. Welcome to the life though, lots of good stuff here and ask lots of questions that's what we're here for. Operation of the search feature at this point is optional depending on Kev's mood :D Have fun in class and congrats on the new wife and baby.

My youngest cousin just got her driver's permit, and now I feel old too at 21! :[ :[

WELCOME ABOARD! Have fun!!
 
Welcome!

Welcome to the tribe!!! :):):)
 
I just completed my EMT-B course, and passed my national registry. I also started late, I have been working in an ER, Trauma center for the past 4yrs though. I started out working there thinking I wanted to be a nurse, and all I ever wanted to do was get on the truck.... so Good luck!! You'll be great. ^_^
 
Welcome

Welcome to the ranks Brad! I wish you all the best. Congrats on the wife and baby.... they will help you through many rough spots if you will let them! Go get 'em!
 
Thank you all..... I'm Very excited. I'm also lucky to have a wonderful wife that supports me 100%. This forum is packed full of information. Cant wait to start class. I'm thinking about taking a few supporting classes too.
#1 Intro Human Anatomy/Physiol class
#2 Interpersonal Skills
Do you think these would be good classes to have in addition to the CPR and EMT classes?
 
I'm going to say don't take A&P while taking EMT.


I took EMT, German, and SCUBA so I could be full time, but still devote ALL of my study time to EMT, which is what you should do. If you take any class that is moderately difficult, that will take away any time you can put towards EMT class.


Are they good? Yes, but not in conjunction with EMT class.
 
good luck brad and congrats on the wife and daughter. I agree with Linuss when he says not to take them together. I'm currently taking A/P and its difficult i find at least. Oh and welcome from another newbie to the life of EMS.

your taking the EMT-B right?
