[possum]

I'm just wonder who is the oldesr EMT on EMTLIFE is?....

I'm going on my 10th year

I have 8 years experience.

 

[firetender]

12 (or more if you want to count attending when it was "If you have a driver's license, an 8 hr. ARC-First Aid Card, and don't puke at the sight of blood, come on board!")

30 yrs. this past June 8'th. That is full time, and I started in working in ER when I was 15 so add a couple of years to that. I have 17 years as a RN. Amazing, I still work 96+ hrs a week.

No, I don't need blue pads...

how do you find the time to post?

 

[oldschoolmedic]

Eight years as a Navy Corpsman (field med, and ambulance for a year), three years EMT, just kicked fifteen years as a paramedic, putting me to 19 years total in EMS full-time.

At 42, I don't bounce like I used to.

 

[Ridryder911]

I do it while my basic lifts the cot, assess the patient, administers the med.'s , start the IV's, intubates the patient, and drives back... while I collect the fee.. Hey, the basics have contended they could do it !


*just joking!

5 and half years for me.:blush:

 

[BossyCow]

Oh thank God! I thought you were asking how old we were!

I have 5 years experience with EMS administration, record keeping, credentialing, setting up classes, billing, doing the stuff even basics won't touch, followed by 7 years as an EMT-B.

Took my first EMT class in 1980, but was riding on units since I was an "adult advisor" in an Explorer post at the ripe old age of 19 or 20, and have been a firefighter in one form or another continuously since 1981. That gives me about 27 years, give or take a few months; and no, I'm not old, either!

 

[Epi-do]

I've been an EMT for 8 years, and have finally gotten my butt in gear to go to medic school. I really should have done it a long, long time ago!

 

[Airwaygoddess]

Human years or dog years, LOL

8 years going on 9, On the busy days it seems like 20! Yikes!!

 

[joemt]

I've been an EMT since 1991... and was a First Responder for a couple of years before that.

I think I might get the youngest pup award. Still in Basic school and have only two internships for true experience.

Man, why does this always come up? I received my first EMT card in 1974, then became a paramedic in 1980. You do the math. I'm to old to count that high ----------ha!
