The REALITY of being an EMT: My checks were $2,500 after taxes ($3,200) with 190hrs worked every two weeks for a total 360-380hrs. Minimum wage Wage went lower in salary the longer the shift I chose to pick up or take whereas an 8hr shift was a few dollars higher an hour (only 2 8hr shifts available in the company) Cities/locations all have different types of calls aka more medical (SOB, CP, Dr appointment misses and want ER instead), or Trauma (Stabbings, Lacs, GSWs, Car accidents) Know your location before starting and ask direct forward questions. Don’t be timid and think the EMT company is the only company to be accepted at. You’ll be accepted ANYWHERE so ask questions

Paramedic speaking here most programs offer CPR and its not a requirement to start the program you usually pay for it in the program cost. My suggestion is to look for a Community College that offers EMT so it counts for college credit incase you want to go for other degrees or like me getting my BS in EMS. Also if a program doesn't offer CPR do AHA its the only certification that's allowed for EMTs as it give you the basic provider license. Any questions please ask them in the comments
That’s super helpful, thank you! I’m starting a program in two weeks with a community college and I’m a bit nervous. Is there anything you wish you knew before your first day of class or before getting into that career? I’ll take any advise or tips you’re willing to offer. 😬👍
Im currently a high school student wanting to become a paramedic, what would you suggest for me to do once I graduate? Also may I know about your experience?
The wage compensation for this occupation is beyond shameful. They're out there in almost every kind of undesirable circumstance imaginable, some in working conditions/environments that may even have them in harm's way!
@Cloixim 40hrs a week is a full time job so 48hrs a week is 8 hours MORE per week then a full time job. Lol and your suggestion is for EMTs is to get a side job? They need the other days off to recover so they can be alert and ready for another 24hr shift. Would you want your life in the hands of an EMT towards the end of their shift but they’re so tired from working their second job that they can’t properly take care of you because of fatigue?
@@aaronenriquez296 At what point does OT kick in? Industries are now trying to phase out the 8hr day and go back to 12 hrs straight time shifts. That's regress, not progress. It's gradually becoming more and more about the corporations' welfare and less and lass about concern for working public.
I paid nothing being in a volunteer squad from a wealthier area. Seriously nothing, not the clothes, book, jacket, class, cpr, test but the catch is you owe them 8 hours a week for a year (school absences are allowed as long as you create hours that equal the same even if it takes 2 years). They also pay for re-certification as long as you are a squad member. My local squad is an active teaching site in NJ for a 3 months hybrid (some online on own time, and some in person). However its too much I worked a full time job and did this and I barely slept and was nervous for class and when had time couldn't sleep. The instructor was intense too he would yell at us throw things and point out times we could get shot or hurt on the field as we were doing patient assessments. But all worth it!

Youve got this! I just started my classes and Im volunteering with my County EMA. My state is paying for emt and paramedic classes right now. I sincerely hope you succeed!

Many EMT and Paramedic programs require a general aptitude test prior to enrollment. Many colleges, universities, and adult learning centers offer this assessment for a very low cost ($15 to $50). Consider taking this to give you an idea of where you are at. Many are designed to test aptitudes for various fields. This would give you some idea of what you might need to brush up on, before you get into the medicine so to speak. I have been teaching EMS for over 40 years. This will help you figure out your next step.
I wish it was this easy to become an EMT as a student myself my class is only 3 months long and is very cheap if you wanna become an EMT try to avoid big colleges and find a local technical college or a local ems station that gives classes to become an EMT it is a much cheaper option I only paid 1,600 dollars for my class
It depends colleges will usually require more time and a lot more money the academy I went to was very cheap and had a very high pass rate and they taught us everything we needed to know and good tips and tricks they wouldn’t teach at a college class.
Adding onto that, my state offers a program for high school students to enroll in colleges and obtain college credits. The state will cover textbook and class fees. You could very easily become a certified EMT in high school. Check out if your state has a similar program. (I'm in Minnesota).
I want to be a EMT but I want to be financially compensated in a way I can live comfortably. working 12 plus hour and still not having enough to pay rent will be my biggest fear (I live in San Diego) That or not being able to use this job to get another one
I legitimately respect emt's so much, they save more lives than all of these stupid random medical degrees. "Help I need a doctor", I would rather hear "I am a certified emt", rather than "I am an orthodontist"
Class of 2025 when I graduate I'm going to try my absolute best. I realize the pay but it's rewarding in a different way. Then once I gain some experience. Might as well try becoming a paramedic! I've always wanted to help people anyways. If I remember where it's a lil bit away I'll update this!

Can you study on your own? Noone’s teaching near me. It sounds like a book, video, and multiple choice test is all that’s required. Not class time. Is that right?
EMT requires class time in addition to textbook and skills learning and practice under certified instructors who have to sign off personally on everything. Takes anywhere from 2 to 3 months. You cannot learn it by self study.
Mekhi Stallings you’re able to obtain a job as a Emergency Medical Techinician by taking a EMT course typically (6 weeks to 9 months) at your local college, UNI, or any other place where they offer it. It is possible to obtain your bachelors in emergency care which will also give you your paramedics license. I am from Texas living within the city limits of Dallas.

I am actually cna at the hospital, but I want to take emt classes. I just feel I can not pass the test. I am thinking maybe I just need drop I don't know.
Hi Angie, According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for EMTs and paramedics was $35,400 (or $17.02 per hour) in May 2019. Hope that helps!
To be honest, in the USA, it depends by the state. I've worked in 3 different states and I made a vastly different amounts. You make good money with overtime. And depending on agency or if its private company some jobs pay doubletime for anything worked after 40+hours.
The pay differs from county to county. my hometown starts basics around 8.50 but you can go 30 mins away and make 14 an hour and 40 mins ro another county and make 18.... Private or county are also different in pay.
In my area of NJ we get paid anywhere from $17-$21 an hour as an emt, paramedics can make more. In my house it's not called good money but it's decent (depending on # of people you are supporting) and you never have to worry about health insurance, at least in every place I'm aware of (except volunteer of course).
Most specialized jobs require some level of training. A 4-6 year degree is the most common for specialized positions. If you go to a trade school, you’re looking at more like 2 years. And if you are thinking about getting an entry level job somewhere that doesn’t require any sort of certification, it’ll still take years to advance in your career to where you want to be. 6 months really isn’t that long of a time to get certified for a career, honestly.
@@SlashinatorZ That’s not really what I was saying. But most specialized careers require a lot of training! You want to be an EMT? You need to get certified. You want to be a game dev? You have to go to college. You want to be an electrician, a plumber or a mechanic? Go to trade school. You want to be a chef? You need to get a job in a kitchen and gain experience for years, climb the ladder. How about a boring office job? You’ll probably start at the least desirable position and get opportunities to succeed over time. Sure, there’s lots of jobs that don’t require specialized skillsets (data entry, certain types of hospitality and food service, reception jobs, etc.) and if that’s your thing, that’s great! But those jobs don’t pay as much and might not be as fulfilling. I’m just saying, 6 months is really not a long time.
Mine was 3 months and everything I do mean everything was free because of the volunteer squad I did it through (Dec 2020 graduate) catch is you have to give 1 shift a week where I'm at but if you continue 1 shift a week re-certification/ continuing ed classes are also covered. Ask some local volunteer squads if they have such deals you only give them your time once a week but we do use the squad house like a club house so it's fairly lively 24/7.

Sure, there’s lots of jobs that don’t require specialized skillsets (data entry, certain types of hospitality and food service, reception jobs, etc.) and if that’s your thing, that’s great! But those jobs don’t pay as much and might not be as fulfilling. I’m just saying, 6 months is really not a long time.
Mine was 3 months and everything I do mean everything was free because of the volunteer squad I did it through (Dec 2020 graduate) catch is you have to give 1 shift a week where I'm at but if you continue 1 shift a week re-certification/ continuing ed classes are also covered. Ask some local volunteer squads if they have such deals you only give them your time once a week but we do use the squad house like a club house so it's fairly lively 24/7.
Omg this music is so loud and distracting, I can barely hear the narrator
