Hi molly!! I’m 16 and have wanted to be a EMT/Paramedic since I was 7... I have basically watched all videos regarding medicine haha. I love all your post about the topic. I can’t wait to start on this career. Already studying for the last 3 years now and taking a public safety 2 year class before college!!
Just want to throw you some words of encouragement. Go for your dreams. I'm starting emt school in Aug and I'm almost 40. I have a daughter older than you. If my old fat butt can do it so can you.
@@martinacapasso9085 Awh thank you for this ❤️
you probably dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf recently =)
@Rocky Orion yea, I have been using Instaflixxer for since december myself :D
Hi Jadyn! Thank you so much for your support!❤️ always go after what you want in life. If you have wanted to do this for so long then I say 100% go for it. You CAN do it! It sounds like you are doing big things!
Loved watching this. Thanks for your long hours and the work you do.
Amazing!!! just passed my NREMT today. keep posting!!!
Rahul Shah congratulations on passing!
@@Joby1980 NREMT is just written
Well done im curious did you do a diploma course first or did you go straight into the paramedic degree i think its 3 years if im not mistaken i would love to get mine done any tips would be helpfull
I have an interview in the coming weeks for an ems agency, this video was helpful! do more :)
Glad it was beneficial!
First off, congratulations for giving up your time to work in EMS. Can I ask how small your "very small town" is, and what is the role of an EMT-B? I'm in Australia where even small towns are crewed only by full-time paramedics (actually you have to have a Degree in Paramedicine to work on an emergency ambulance, so technically somebody at EMT level can't get employment). Your 24-hour shifts are very intriguing. In the large cities here, we do 12-hour shifts and get never get time to stop for a meal or even FOT. When I did a few years in a small outback town we only did 8-hour shifts and took an ambulance home to work on call overnight and on weekends. Best wishes with your studies, and keep up the great work.
dang girl that was a lot of pepper and I can smell it all the way from here and I live in Georgia
My grandmother had those same plates. They are cool...People are talking about passing the NREMT and heck, I just passed my final Exam
for Anatomy and Physiology
Congratulations on passing your exam!!
Love your footage. I just passed the registry and I’m starting my career!
Congrats!! 🎉
Congratulations!!
How is it I really want to become a emt and work in an ambulance but I’m scared of not getting hired
@@vibes2749 you can become an EMT. Upon becoming licensed you will easily be able to gain employment. EMT is high demand need nationwide.
@@emt8756 thank you very much you don’t understand how much of a ease that puts on my mind thank you
Hi , I’m looking to start emt courses soon and I wanted to know do you think it’s hard or it’s bearable and if you can give me tips that would be great !
Great video you look great
Is it practical to do this while in college? Do you have the option not to work overnights?
I'm trying to get a job as a supply technician for my local ambulance company but now I'm scared.. I thought the ambulance would be easy to stock but it looks like most suppliers are kept in bags/backpacks from videos I've seen. How am I supposed to know how much of everything I need to stock and what everything is 😢 I'm second guessing my interview now
@JDT thank you so much, my interview is tomorrow!
Hello Molly, I appreciate this video because 2 night's ago, I was a pedestrian who helped 2 victims in a drunk driving accident. My family asked me how I handled the situation and asked how I felt. They recognized what I said and knowing about my calm nature, they suggested looking into an EMT -B course. I'm 37, looking for my calling and working E-commerce in retail and grocery has been my source of income since 2014. I would appreciate your feedback 🙂. Take care, be safe and thank you for your service 👍
I'm a teacher thats also looking to get into EMS. Im 27 years old. I'm thinking to just pull the trigger and join the community college's next intake and see how it goes from there.
I know this comment is 7 months at this point, but I wanted to say just do it!! Look up EMT classes in your area - community colleges offer somewhat affordable classes and you can usually do payment plans with any educational institution.
Take those classes, pass the NREMT and youre set! Itll be difficult, but it sounds like this is something you could be really good at. Many people are capable! Less are willing! Be willing!
Working 24 hour shifts, are you paid for all 24 hours? Or do you clock out for certain times like sleeping? Also how man days a week do you work?
We are paid for all 24 hours and we stay clocked in the whole time as well. I am part time so I usually work once a week and then come and go whenever I need to fill in for someone.
What do EMT-Bs do in a plasma center?
I'm taking EMT-B class right now with Superior in Illinois.
What part of ill
That’s great! Good luck with class!
@@austinschmit7616 Elmhurst
@@CLOWNAIDS oh nice i live in central il
where are you guys located? area looks rural
I am currently an EMT student and bought a macbook air. Do you fond using an ipad easier and more functional for an EMT?
I personally love having the iPad because I do believe it makes things easier! I love knowing that I can have all my notes, power-points, lectures, etc., all together in one spot. However, I still use my MacBook a lot for more lengthier assignments. It really just depends on the person, so I’d suggest doing some research to really see what is best for you and your learning styles :)
~hope this helped!
@@mollylewis1517 thank you so much.
Can I ask what is the difference between a Emt and a EMS like do they do the same stuff as you are no? Because I have been really wanting to be a emt but I have no clue of like what is the best lol
EMS just stands for Emergency Medical Service, EMT is within that service, along with paramedics, firefighters, and any other first responders. Hope that makes sense
DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN EMT- EMT- B- IN- A SMALL TOWN
where are you located?
if you don't mind me asking, how much are you being paid for a part-time emt is such a small town?
Currently I’m making a little over minimum wage. It varies depending on which county I work at!
We got a 5 year old making less than mcdonalds wages in my town rolling up on potentially life threatening injuries in an ambulance. Go America
No offense Molly but god damn lol
where did you buy your pants from?!
Amazon! :) EMS pants are cheaper on there!
Do you like being an EMT and would you recommend it?
I do like being an EMT! Also, I would recommend it. Especially if you need patient contact hours, it’s a super great way to get them!
Any tips on what to study for the NREMT test? I’m nervous
Yes! I actually have a video coming very soon about this so be on the lookout for that! ☺️
@@mollylewis1517 thank you so so much :) I’m excited
@@emilyl1326 check out the app LC Ready by limmer education. There's a class in it called EMT Pass that helped me more than anything. It has questions written by people who actually wrote for NREMT.
@@sambouk101 thank you soooo muchhh
@@emilyl1326 no problem. They have one for AEMT and Paramedic too if you continue in EMS
What are you studying for
where did u get ur boots and uniform pants from
my boots are just from Walmart and my pants are from Amazon
ty
The Walmart boots she’s wearing are actually really nice. I’ve worked hospital security for a while and noticed a lot of other officers and medics wearing them. The cheapest ones are like $29 and last about a year, and they’re plenty comfortable.
Hi Molly!
Im daniel from the Philippines and also an EMT like you, so ky question is CAN I MARRY YOU? your scene is safe and you can begin now your primary assessment 😂
how do you decide who is in the back and who drives?
If it’s a BLS truck, the two EMTs will take turns. If it’s an ALS truck with a medic and an EMT, it will depend on how critical the patient is. I hope that helps!
Hi Molly ... Im a intermediate life support medic in South Africa ... i just want to know is my certificate recognised in your country ?? ....
thanks.....
I’m not for certain but I do believe you need to complete national registry for the United States.
Can u do a video on how u became one?
Yes I can, I have some videos coming soon regarding EMS!
How long you been a emt I’m taking the NREMT in 2 weeks
A little over half a year! Good luck on the NREMT, make sure you do some practice tests if you haven’t already to familiarize yourself with the way the questions are set up :)
Do you know where I get practice test at

Genuine question, part time Emt don’t work daily ?
To be considered part time you have to work less than 30 hours a week- and most ambulance companies have you work 8 hr shifts minimum. So no, you can’t be considered part time if you work everyday- unless the company you work for allows for 4 hr shifts which is highly unlikely
Are you able to wear nail polishes on your nails when you work? xx
At my place of work yes you can, but it may be different depending on the EMS station
Do you not carry a radio?
Some companies have EMS personnel carry pagers or assigned a company phone for each shift
You guys can start ivs as emt-b? We cant 😭
They can't unless they have prior training. It's similar to the difference in a CNA and CMA- CMA can prepare the doc for any medicine, same as preparing for the paramedic
