    What is an EMT? What is an advanced EMT? What is a Paramedic? What are the different ranks in EMS? What are the levels in the ambulance service?
    How to become an EMT or Paramedic?
    My friends, I got your back! I've created the internet's most in-depth video on the certification levels for NREMT for EMS providers. Inside this video, I talk about each EMS training level, how to achieve that EMS level, and what each level of EMS school will train you on.
    EMR - Emergency Medical Responder
    EMT - Emergency Medical Technician
    AEMT - Advanced Emergency Medical Technician
    Paramedic
    There are additional certifications that Paramedics can hold such as critical care paramedic, flight paramedic, tactical or swat paramedic, and community paramedic which I discuss at the end of the video.
    I highly recommend watching this video before you start your EMS career so that you understand what your goals are for EMT school and Paramedic School, as you get more knowledgeable at your EMT job.
    Be Great!

    It took my 4 times to pass the exam. I was in despair. Full of doubt. I almost quit. I told myself I was gonna take it one more time. I prayed and ask God if I am supposed to be a medic please help me pass. And I did. I was shocked. Happy. And nervous because now I a medic. Haha. But I couldn’t be happier. I love this job. 8 years on the job. 7 as an emt. I took the plunge and became a medic. Love the job. #paramedic #ems #nremt #emt

    I just finished my EMT basic course about a month ago. I passed my psychomotor portion of the NREMT first try and I take my computer test tomorrow. In the state of KY it is within our scope of practice and training to do supraglottic airways. It's interesting how states vary in protocols and scope of practice.

    What an interesting and informative video. Very different to the levels here in Australia. In the cities and towns our base level in EMS is the equivalent of your "Paramedic", but without RSI and IO. Then we have the next level which has RSI, IO and more drugs and procedures. Then in some states you have what we call "High Acuity Paramedic". They're critical care paramedics with months of further training in operating theatres and the classroom. They typically have a minimum of 8 years experience, and can perform REBOA, blood infusion, field amputations and other surgical procedures plus having ultrasound equipment at their disposal. We also have local referral paramedic, which might be the equivalent of a community paramedic. They usually respond in vans and don't transport. They do wound management including suturing, and prescribe ABs and so on. The three BIGGEST differences between US and Australian EMS; 1. Pay levels, easy to make US$85K year, and 8 weeks leave a year is the norm. 2. To become a paramedic here you need a 3 year university degree. Many graduate with a double degree in nursing too so increasingly RNs are crewing ambulances. 3. Ongoing training and equipment. As our services are owned by their respective state governments, there's never a shortage of the latest and greatest equipment, or ongoing professional development. In two states, ambulance service is free to the user. You can have a 20 minute winch rescue and helicopter ride, a 5 minute road ambulance ride, or even a one hour ride in a aeromedical jet or turbo prop and there's no charge.

    Currently studying for my NREMT-B. COVID hit while I was in my EMT class and it took forever to complete my clinicals. After I finally finished clinicals, it was time for fire academy. I switched all my focus onto fire academy, and ended up passing all my TCFP tests! Although when I switched back to EMS mode for my NREMT I realized a lot of that knowledge slipped my brain. Your videos have helped tremendously and I will continue to watch them and recommend friends to your channel. Thank you for all the help! #emslife #nremt #paramediccoach

    I’m super excited to start my journey in Paramedicine! Currently an RPN in Canada and love it. I’ve wanted to do paramedic for a long time and recently put in my application and got accepted! I can’t wait to start up this fall!! #nremt #emt #paramedic

    "Supplementary" has always been my word choice. I don't do much, but hopefully I can keep them from pulling out their tamp or trying to walk on a broken back before you come and help us out. I don't do much so you don't have to!

    Been working IFT for about 9 months now. I thought I'd be bored with it, but actually enjoy it! #nremt #emt #paramedic
