Intro

Hi, I'm Marti... 911 dispatcher for 18 years, EMT for local volunteer service for 8 years, CPR instructor for 7 years...in southeastern Minnesota.

hmmm, I got started in EMS a little late, went through the class with my daughter the year she turned 18. (beat her national score by a few points! hehehe)

I'm glad to see some posts from a few older "newbies". It's never too late to get started. (Might just be a little harder to get the old gray matter working again.)

I'm looking forward to learning from everyone and sharing information.

Hi, my name's Pat and I'm considering becoming an EMT after my time in the military is up. That means I'm willing to take any advice any of y'all have on this subject. Any info on how good the job prospects will be for emt's a few years from now would be great. Also, any info on what the best types of emt/paramedic schools there are would also be great.

Hit the BLS area and hit the education and training link. Best places to start looking for the info you inquire about. Any thing else you can't find, the feel free to post.

Are you guys offended with alot of questions? I don't mean dumb ones, but more of the "trying to understand" type.
I tend to ask alot of questions, When I am trying to understand something. I don't want to close the door of oportunity to learn, with my clumsy way of trying to understand how people think in the EMS world.:unsure:

There are one or two people that might pick on you a bit. For the most part, if you're asking a serious question, you'll get an answer.

That's ok. I don't mind being picked on if I can learn from the situation. I want to be the best Medic I can be. My purpose in life is to live a life of purpose.....

Hey all, my name is Aaron and I've been a MRT here in Connecticut for the past 5 years. I am in the process of joining my local volunteer ambulance and may be taking an EMT-B class in the somewhat near future. Me and my girlfriend have been together for the past 16+ years and we have 2 English Bulldogs, a French Bulldog, Sun Conure and an African Grey. I hope to learn alot while spending time in these forums. I know as an MRT, I am limited at what I can do, but I'm sure I will be able to pick up many tips here. Good to be here and see you in the forums! :)

Just thought I'd introduce myself - I've been in EMS for 25 years, career firefighter for 17, instructor for nearly 20, EMS director for 11. I think that makes me about 110 years old!
Anyway, great to be here. There seems to be allot of really good people here along with interesting discussions and advice.
