Great video man!! I love how personal you were and with many insightful info giving us a real sense of what is like to be an ER tech. Thank you for doing that.
I start as an ER Tech next week. I have zero experience in healthcare since I’ve recently gotten my EMT license. Thank you for this video!
congrats! Ask a lot of questions to make sure u understand what u r doing for ur first week. It's better to start slow and understand everything bcuz u will be doing stuff by urself later on.
did you do your emt license online?
How’d it go?
Great video thank you!!
Such informative information. Thank you!!!
Thanks for your video. Very Insightful
New subscriber here. I really like the way you explain the job as an ER Tech. I have experience as an EMT & I’ve worked in the hospital before but never the ED. Again,the info is such a big help.Thank You
Thank you for all the knowledge! I start as a student nurse technician in the ER in two weeks
I be loved it!!! Looking forward to more videos
You my friend are one strong person
All states are different but you can either be a EMT or CNA to become a ER Tech. You don’t have to just be an EMT only
that's true. CA is more strict with its regulation and requirements
you CAN, however some if not most hospital systems require EMT training for ER tech roles. I think that technically CNAs can serve as techs but I have yet to encounter a CNA tech in my several years as an EMS EMT.
Thank you for this video, I am currently a CNA with an ERT interview, I enjoyed listening to your thoughts on this position. I can remove myself emotionally from the hospital, I feel like I have a better idea of how to answer questions for this interview.
Good luck!
I plan on becoming a paramedic, and currently work in hospital transport as EMT. I’m volunteering at 911 service for experience, and am thinking about becoming an Er tech for the pay and the experience with hospital and equipment and performing blood draws, iv, ecg, and hopefully some precedures if iI have good relationship with staff like suturing , splinting, or other skills. I think seeing a higher volume of patients and different classifications (trauma, respiratory, cardiac, septic, etc) would be good learning experience.
Any advice or input on this idea ?
before you are thinking about becoming a paramedic, I recommend looking up the average pay for paramedic around your area. For my place, LA, it doesn't pay much due to more supplies than demand. Hence why my EMT co-workers usually applied to FIRE than working in the hospital (if u want different experiences and trauma situations). Paramedic school takes longer time and commitment than EMT so plan accordingly. Good luck!
Hi thanks for ur videos... i have a Q/. Do you do IV’s? I will start my EMT program in august. From west coast emts. Soo wish me luck🙏🏼. Hope u answer. Hugs brother
What's your thought on the emotional aspects of being an ER Tech?
How long did it take for you to get used to all this?
I am going in for EMT license and then I heard getting a Phlebotomy certification or bcls is good for employers . Is taking any of the two necessary? Would u recommend ?
I got my phlebotomy cert and never used it... So I recommend EMT license and American Heart Association BLS for healthcare provider. Most EMT companies want experience while hospital look for 911/trauma experience. Maybe get certification for EKG reading if u want to transition into Hospital ER Tech
Are you a pysc technician in the psychiatric hospital??
used to be mental health worker in psychiatric hospital
Thanks for keeping the suckiest part last
