    Should you become an EMT? What are some of the benefits of EMT? What is an EMT? What do EMT's do? Where do EMT's work?
    Gaining your EMT certification is the first step in EMS. I've decided to put together this EMS training video, where I detail the 5 reasons to become an EMT.
    I break down what you will learn in EMT school, and what skills you acquire being an EMT. If you considering an EMT job or one day want to enter Paramedic School, learn from these 5 first.
    Whether you are an EMR, EMT, AEMT, or Paramedic, let me know your thoughts below!
    Let me know in the comments what your "top 5" would be and whether you agree or disagree with my top 5 for becoming an EMT!

      Very nice video, is the shift variety able in most places? Because me for example i need to travel every 4 months( its 1 to 2 weeks every travel) would I be able to do that with any problem?

    1.) I want to make a difference in peoples lives directly
    2.) I want to be in a position where my choices will make that difference in someones life individually
    3.) I want to better myself every day by helping others
    4.) I want to answer my calling, whatever it may be in this world, and I feel like EMS will help me achieve those goals
    5.) I want to take advantage of the life I have and use it to give back to the people of my community

    I'm looking at entering an EMT program in the spring after 24 years of being a pharmacy technician. Pharmacy has been pretty much a dead end for me, but after traveling to 12 different states last year working at vaccination clinics for FEMA, I learned that I enjoy working with different types of people. The one thing that took me a few days to get used to was causing pain to patients for their benefit.

    • @anthonyshawley4954
      @anthonyshawley4954 Před 3 lety +2

      @BigGlow 600. I will tell you this. The NREMT is an adaptive test. If you're finding it really difficult, you're probably doing well. If it seems simple, you probably aren't doing as well as you think.

      Update: I did pass the NREMT in May. I swore I failed. But I passed at 70 questions. I'm now a full time EMT and on an ALS crew within my first month. It's rough sometimes, but I love it.

    becoming an EMT was always my fallback incase i didnt want to become a chef. Ive been working as a cook for a while now and im sick of how toxic service can be, Cooks arguing with servers, 40 people coming in all at once. Not to mention the growth opportunity, I can become a paramedic and even an RN were my mother works. My main question if i had to ask would be do you grow close to your team?

    • @TheParamedicCoach

    @user-fr5qc2zl4o Před rokem +7

    Actually, I have never had any reason to become an EMT or a paramedic, and I don't know why I need it. I just have felt that I need it since my school days. And your reasons sound very good, and my confidence that I want to become an EMT or paramedic became stronger.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't enter medical school in my country, and now I don't have any chance to go to EMT school. I hope that one day I will learn English well enough, win a green card, move to the USA, study at an EMT school, and will finally begin to help people.
    Thank you for your video. It will help me on my way.

    I want to do EMT cause medical and politics have always been in my family and in EMT I get to learn so much and feel like I make a difference I will have so many opportunities and options like switching to nursing or going the paramedic route which is what I would love to do and I can take what I learned with me in life and into any job I go to it's a valuable education and knowledge to learn and I plan on doing scholing through my life and being able to to pick and have the variety in schedules is a plus for a life long student

    "You could go from nothing to EMT to Paramedic for under $10k." Or, if you're in SE Michigan (and look up Medstar), you could get PAID for EMT and get Paramedic for a contract -- that way you're literally getting paid to upgrade your skills and overall value to society. Pretty cool, eh?
