    Really wish I felt this calling earlier in life. For healthcare I have to juggle a full time job alongside EMT school. To play it safe I'm studying first & then try to ace it on the first go -- having school deadlines with a fulltime job can quietly become a big issue

      I did the same last year. You can do it. Study hard. My NREMT written shut off with a perfect score. Keep pushing and you'll get it. This channel is a HUGE help.

      I’m in medic school now. My best friend is going through it while also running a construction company. I have zero clue how he is pulling this off. But he is. Good luck!

      @@Brd876 that's subjective. Firefighters I know tell me they are happy with their income (& benefits, pension, etc). I'm aware that paramedic does not pay the best, yes.
      If I can't be an FF paramedic then I'll be a regular one anyway knowing the fulfillment will come primarily from serving others (religious reasons)

    I got my EMT license after retirement and volunteer with a local squad. I took the 12 week summer course at our local community college to use up my GI Bill. It's normally a 16 week course. We had to do 48 ride along hours with 12 ER transports and a 10 hour clinical at the local hospital. Our squad will even sponsor someone to attend either an on-line course or the community college course with a payback clause. I enjoy having students on ride alongs. Yes, they are 50 years my junior, but eager to learn and take the lead with certain patients. I always recommend your RUclips channel along with Limmer as learning tools. Your channel helped my get through the NREMT. Thanks. BTW, the 12 week course is a nut-buster. There is a lot to learn in a short time and getting through the 1275 page Limmer book was a challenge.

    Small unsolicited detail I would say is research if fire is required for the agencies in your area…

    @TheParamedicCoach Hey, man! Hope all is awesome with the career and channel! I went through community college EMT and firefighting. I just started EMT and love it! I don’t know if I’ll do paramedic yet but love what the job is. I look forward to more videos that you’ll put out in the guy and thanks again for helping me pass my NREMT (the hardest test I’ve ever taken). 😎

      It’s not a requirement but it’s helpful to have the knowledge that comes with A&P

    Honestly EMS is NOT a long term career. Pay is so bad. Go do Nursing, PA or other better paying healthcare jobs. If you want to be in EMS I encourage you not to be in it for long.
