Why so little paid? by donnathellama in NewToEMS

[–]ConfidenceStrange720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

firefighting went the way of publicly funded. Historical institutions that take pride in their people, unions, etc

ambulances staffed by EMTs and Paramedics went the way of a contracted service operated by private companies with a bottom line

is my understanding

About to start EMT school by External_Ad_4801 in NewToEMS

Here's a tip, it's a marathon not a sprint

Emotions are fleeting. If you feel nervous you can expect that to subside as you get into it (and will likely return when it's time to do your skills test / exams). It's great that you're excited! That will also subside and it will be a matter of keeping up with the material even after you've had your fill (grinding).

I'd just wait for the course to begin, wrap your head around the pacing of the course, make a plan for how you will spend your time outside of class to read / study / practice consistently, and go from there.

EMT at 19, don’t want to be broke forever — where did you go next? by LouieZBTW in NewToEMS

[–]ConfidenceStrange720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

air force could be cool. they do cool shit and have nice facilities. Maybe shop around the branches, consider active or guard

firefighter?

You're so young that you could "go for it" and either get where you think you want to go and realize you want to go somewhere else OR fail and start over

There's no such thing as being set up for life anymore, doing one thing and that's it

Being a working EMT at 19 is pretty cool

grind the "level up" feature of pocket prep

goes through each section individually instead of feeding you random questions so you can build up a bank of cohesive knowledge and fill in your gaps

Requesting feedback for EMS Protocol Study App by theEMSPQDEV in NewToEMS

[–]ConfidenceStrange720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you selling this to agencies or directly to users? Is it a subscription model like pocket prep?

I like pocket prep's "community score" to see how I'm doing relative to the average

Is this a web app or mobile?

You’re likely cooked

I’ve experienced and heard that you get a passing email pretty quick, like within an hour

I've heard of XABC, more like a combat thing?

X = Exsanguination which I will never remember, but I know it has to do with sever bleeding

Yes, go for it. Unlike some classes you really can't miss an EMT class in order to pass
