Wooo Hooo!!

I passed My NREMT test last saturday and got the results today!!!
Time to start looking for a job, anyone else work in the hospital with an emt-b cert or with an ambulance company? in AZ?
anyone have any advice?

Im very excited i studied very hard for this test!

 

Congratulations!

 

Thanks!!

 

Congratulations Bro! Welcome to the crew! You will probably like the ambulance better than the hospital....most in the hospitals work basically as techs.

I just saw you said EMT-B not trying to knock ya down but you might want to get your EMT-I so you can do more and be a better asset to an employer. The county service I work for won't hire EMT-B's only I's and P's.

 

Thanks! not sure what the deal is with other states,
but If i'm not mistaken AZ is doing away with the EMT-I's and the ones who currently have that certification are going to be the last ones.. quoting my teacher..
also my college I took this class through doesn't offer it.. Just B and P..
can anyone elso confirm?

 

1st off Congrats!!!!
2nd: http://www.swambulance.com/

try this and good luck!

 

When I received my EMT-B they only offered that and paramedic.

 

Thanks! used the link ind filling out Application now.

Ah ok same as what I thought

 

btw I worked on a BLS rig for awhile and it was... meh. My buddy worked at a hospital doin less work than I did and he made twice as much $$$$$$$

- Its hard to get a job as a EMT at a hospital around here though

 

Yeah when I did my clinical the guy I shadowed said the same thing,
he made alot more working in the ER than an ambulance..
But I won't be picky i would love to work in any of them..
and really just meh? how come?

 

It was mostly transporting old people from hospital to hospital for random shit. A lot of poop, catheters, and vitals. It was a great introductory experience - dont get me wrong. I am now in a Doctor of Pharmacy program at UOP and I know that my EMT experience served me very well.

However, people become an EMT for the epi rush and I only received that on about... uuuhhhhh.... 2% of my calls. For a true epi rush u gotta become a paramedic or atleast work on an ALS rig or get into Fire

edit: I believe hospital EMTs make about twice as much because they work a lot more - I spent at least half my time bullshittin around in a Starbucks parking lot while waitin for calls

 

Congrats bud...if you end up applying for anything at Scottsdale Healthcare let me know!

 

Ah I see.. FD is the goal I'm in cadets with chandler FD
right now but its really competitive so Just trying to get all the medical work experience now that I can and see where it takes me

 

thanks!
and yeah I will! they have online applications right?
I'll fill one out tomorrow along with banner, anywhere else?
I'll let ya know how the scottsdale one goes

 

Congrads and welcome to the 1% club!

 

1% club??

 

hopefully its not that only 1% of people make it into the EMS. Cuz only 0.002% of college grads make it into a PharmD program

 

That was a sincere " "

 

True. But if they want to stay in the medical field there is always the ADN transition.
