A clean driving/criminal record, good attitude and dressing like you want the interviewer's job is the best start. Then a GED or diploma, some other college helps too, along with your EMT and/or Medic training. Being willing to fight fire helps too. - get subscriptions to JEMS, Emergency Medical Services and firehouse and read them devoutly - LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY- DHS and FEMA have good free online courses - add to your resume. How much do you want to make? As a street medic for a private service, expect anywhere from 29-45k. FF in most areas start at 40K, supervisors make anywhere from 10-15K more. What do we do? Sit around and wait. Here's a good practice - tell your best friend to call you at home tomorrow. have them pick the time. In the meantime, do anything but have fun. Clean house, study, work out. when they do call - no matter what the time, pretend you need to answer it on the second ring or you lose a million dollars. That's how it is - we have 50 boring ho-hum calls for every adrenaline rush. We help people get up off the floor, hold their hands while they cry, hold their hair while they puke, tell them their son died, and do everything the cops are too lazy to do. Take the homeless drunk with bugs jumping off of them to the hospital. but not the hospital across the street - no, the one far across town. I've been in EMS/Fire for 15 years. It never gets old. I have fun every day, but I'm a people person, and A supervisor. What areas will you need us for? UMMM... EVERYWHERE! Urban/suburban/wilderness/factory/school, you name it there are medics and EMTs that are there. Cruise ships usually carry 1-2 medics for emergencies along with RN's and MD's.\nNot enough action for you - Go to Iraq. They are hiring, and they pay upwards of 100k. Too scary - spas and golf courses hire medics and EMT's.

As with all ems training, the ems crew is required to have the ability to lift a person on stretcher, and depending on the type of stretcher that can be easy or difficult.  I am a female medic and was told in training to utilize fire on scene to lift patients.  Especially if they weigh more than I do at 130 lb.

First you have to become an EMT-basic.  After that, you  can go to medic school.  Check with your local community colleges.  They normally offer EMT and Paramedic classes.  Also, check with your local fire departments.  They may be medics, and they are definetly EMT-B so they should be able to point you towards a school.  EMT school isn't too tough, but you're in for a year to 18 months of difficult school to become a paramedic.  You'll have to study hard and really apply yourself.  Good luck to you!

Be a registered nurse, its rewarding and nowadays highly specialized.  An ER, OR or an ICU nurse pays off well, overtime pay is notoriously high (be ready for holiday work though). Other specializations like geriatic or bariatic nursing care are also newer fields in patient care. I heard from a nursing school director that trauma nurses are kinda outflanked by paramedics and associate doctors. Technology based specializations in medicine is easily outpaced by progress and new inventions.  Good luck!

East coast fl...I am a Surgical Tech but my aunt is head of the Radiography department. X-ray techs are a vital part of the healthcare industry. It is a reliable and growing field. Ask a local hospital if you can do a "shadow" of the department. Tell them you are going to be entering the program and would like to see how and what is envolved. You can also specialize in areas such as ultra sound tech to. YOu can do both and be more valuable. Try payscale.com for pay. Realize though that you have to consider the type of place, Hospital, or private practice, and many times you can get job placement through school. I hope that you really check on this it is a great area of healthcare.

Emergency services should be best with good manpower, proper laid-down protocol and technological support.

Not all firefighters are paramedics.  An EMT is an abbreviation for Emergency Medical Technician.  They have several levels of EMT:  EMT-B, EMT-I, EMT-P.  B=basic, I=intermediate, P=Paramedic.  The difference is the amount of skill/training they have attained and what you are legally allowed to use.  An EMT-B does basic stuff where an EMT-P can do things like, give various drugs and perform advance shock defibrillation techniques.\n\nDepending on the department they work for, Paramedics can get paid more, i.e. where I work they receive an extra 5% pay and an hourly increase of about $2.00 an hour.

I use to be an EMT, started at the age of 18. I'm still in medicine, just a different aspect. It's not for everyone. I loved being in the emergency room but I really didn't care for running the field in the ambulance. It's a lot of long hours, emotional ups and downs and it's nothing like they portray it on television.  As far as reacting to an emergency situation, the training kicks in and you react like you need to. We call it tunneling.. which also has side effects as you're so intense on a patient that you can miss what's going on around you. Some days, you may have one or two calls. Some days you may never stop!\n\nIf you're really not sure this is the field for you, contact your local fire department or ambulance service and see if you can arrange a ride along. \n\nAnother thing, I noticed your avatar is a of a woman... just remember that it's still a boy's world in the field. If you can't play with the boys and keep up, then you might want to focus your energies on a career in a more controlled environment like an ER or urgent care center.\n\nOh yeah... you get a really warped sense of humor working in the field. But you meet a lot of good people too. Good luck!
