    this video was so helpful!! I'm questioning my major and I've always loved helping people. I had a career test done and EMT was one of the top choices based on my test results. I already have some anatomy and medical terminology classes under my belt. I never knew there were EMT classes or volunteer work! I'll look into nearby EMT training in my area!

      As a Paramedic with 16 years of EMS experience... this is my advice.
      It’s rewarding but the pay/benefits aren’t really that great. You’re young, work towards becoming a Doctor or even a nurse. There are Nurses that work in the field like Paramedics and get paid a lot more with better benefits. But if it is your dream to be an EMT, and you’re not doing it for the money, go for it.

    • @anthonyb5282
      @anthonyb5282 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Performance Tactical Gaming hahaha listen to this guy. EMT’s don’t make much. I get paid 15.50 an hour to deal with some very stressful and unpleasant circumstances at times. I love the job and I’m young so it works but when I want to have a family or live a little better I’ll have to make the change.

    This video was legit thanks man. The head of the EMT/Paramedic program told me that if my goal was to ultimately become a paramedic, to just major into the Paramedic program. Because i was thinking like you, Become EMT Certified, work a year, go for Paramedic. But she told me that since i have a bachelors degree that covered most of the EMT classes, and i work as a home health aide, to go ahead and just shoot for paramedic, and maybe find work as an emt while in school for paramedic. Idk, all i know is im excited for this

    I've been a pharmacy technician for 24 years and have gotten nowhere with it (every HR department has slammed the door in my face). Instead, I volunteer in a hospital twice a week which has allowed me to keep my BLS certification active for free. Then last year, I was traveling around the country, working at vaccination clinics for FEMA. I learned that I enjoy working with a variety of people and not staying inside a building all day. Tremors in my hands would probably make it difficult to start IVs, so I probably won't be a paramedic. However, I'm currently being vaccinated for Hep B and when I can sign up for the spring class, get a TB test. (Both are requirements in Washington state)

    I've been trying to start my own business as a firearms instructor for a couple years now, but one of my biggest hangups has been having medical personnel on standby should anything go wrong (because you can have a lot more fun, and a better learning experience in a safe environment). Getting ready to start EMT-b and then paramedic school this winter to ensure just that - a learning environment where atleast one of the instructors (me) is trained and capable in pre-hospital care. Because massive hemmoraging and tension pneumothorax won't wait for an ambulance to arrive. #emt #paramedic

    Here in Quebec, we have the most backward EMS system you can think of. It takes a 3 year program to become a Primary Care Paramedic (which is basically an EMT-B: can give oxygen, aspirin, nitro, naloxone, Ventolin, epinephrine). An ambulance carries two EMT-Bs.
    Advanced Care Paramedics, which you would simply call paramedic, are practically non-existent here aside from two cities, Montreal and its suburb city, Laval, in which they only exist as pilot projects. Currently, we only have 10 advanced care paramedics working in Quebec. It requires a 2 year university major on top of the 3 year degree to become an EMT-B and the minimal 2 years of work experience as an EMT you have to go through before being able to apply to the university. 5 years in total (minimally) if you want to be an actual paramedic.

    I took EMT but will need to retake of course, when I worked 911 for my county for a while tho the main thing I learned about the difference between EMT and Paramedics is that paramedics are able to do IVs and deal with more meds but other than that that’s it and we’re the busiest county in Kansas. In EMT we had to study ekgs and recognize when heart attacks may occur and stuff like that.

      Sort of. There are a couple other more invasive procedures that paramedics can do. Like intubation, needle decompressions, chest tubes... Also they learn to read ekgs more in depth. EMT's are taught to look for ST elevation. Where paramedics can see all kinds of different arrhythmia. Most instructors where I live, tell us to work in the field for a couple years before we decide on paramedic school. A lot of people turn out to absolutely love being "just" an EMT ( I hate that phrasing, but I couldn't think of a better way to say it). It will also depend on who your partner is. Some paramedics only let their EMT partner drive and fill out paperwork. Where other paramedics let the EMT run the show unless ALS is needed.

    EMT B was interesting. I thought EMT/B was not too difficult and passed fairly easily...then I graduated to EMT/P School thinking it would also be a breeze...LOL!! Paramedic School is giving up basically a year of your Life. Very difficult. But, I felt like I really accomplished something.

    Going into my senior year of high school this year and heavily considering becoming a paramedic. I'm wondering if college is necessary and if so what exactly do I study?

    • @TheParamedicCoach
      @TheParamedicCoach  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I would start by taking an EMT Class locally, this doesn't require college at all. Once you complete your EMT and start working you can then go from there. A bachelor's degree/traditional college I don't recommend for starting off in EMS. EMT Class first. You can prep for your EMT class/EMS with my online video course here in the meantime: www.prepareforems.com

      @TheParamedicCoach  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Steve, not sure where you live in the world but in the US, an EMT Program is usually 3 months/12 weeks and Paramedic programs are 12-18 months, then if you WANT to pursue a degree you can after while working and getting experience.

      in most places you don’t need a degree. my cousin is an EMT and everything only took 1 semester for him to complete it. (depending on where you live) you need to be CPR certified, finish EMT school, take the test and pass, and get state certified so you can actually become an EMT

    Thanks for this video, it is very informative. My biggest worry is about having someone’s life in my hands and making the wrong choice. I’m 22 with diagnosed adult ADHD. I’m not dumb but I make a lot of small silly mistakes because my mind wonders so often. What do you recommend I focus on to better prepare myself?

    • @TheParamedicCoach
      @TheParamedicCoach  4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Daniel, I have had many ADHD students, your ADHD is actually a huge asset in EMS, use it as your "super power" embrace it. When studying use alpha waves to focus on the content while you study. Thanks for watching and been a subscriber!

    I plan on becoming a firefighter but know I’ll need a second job to make ends meet, so I plan on becoming an EMT as my second job because to be a firefighter you need the training a EMT needs, so I’d be killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Eventually, I’d like to make it even further and become a paramedic and a firefighter, but I first must become an EMT.

      Hey my friend, I just left a message on your other comment, I'll copy and paste it here for you too!
      No you don't my friend. The first step is joining a local EMT class and passing that.
      Next, you will gain some experience working in the field as an EMT, then you can applying to Paramedic school, which for example you can find a certificate course at a local community college or EMS academy.
      You be a licensed Paramedic and no training as a firefighter, two separate jobs.
