Should I get EMT certified?
Should I get EMT certified?
Happy to answer any questions you might have about it. I'm on shift right now.
best days?
worst days?
been an ICU nurse for 2 years
Best days would be working with a good partner and getting good calls. Bad days are working with someone lazy, and running nothing but transfers and drunks.
Yes, you should. Even if you don't become an EMT. Too many people don't know how to do simple ass medical shit that can make a big difference
How long are your shifts typically?
Is it possible to do further training/classes while working fulltime as EMT-B (or whatever the equivalent is these days)?
why would you want to help literal retards that burn their dicks off or break their noses on their staircases or some shit
So I work 12 hour shifts. A lot of other agencies do 24 or 48 hour shifts. I'm taking some classes at community college and have no problem doing that while working full time. I use my downtime at work to study.
Because the pay is good and it's really fucking easy and you can do it while pursuing further education.
Thank you for the info!
Are you going paramedic/firefighter?
