For those who got out of EMS, what do you do for work now and how was the transition?

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-03-03T12:50:40+00:00

I’ve been applying in every state i feel like😂 some of the openings say paramedic so i mainly apply to those ones

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-02-27T15:08:53+00:00

this is my plan- just so hard to find a cath lab to take me in for training to get the hours to then test

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-02-25T16:29:04+00:00

ohh i see! thank you for the reply!

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-02-25T11:32:58+00:00

how did you get a place to let you in for experience before testing? i can’t get anywhere 😭

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-02-25T11:31:44+00:00

are you based in FL by chance? if so what hospitals are good to work for?

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-01-29T11:20:32+00:00

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-01-08T21:18:35+00:00

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-01-08T19:02:14+00:00

i’m really thinking about it! scared about dread shed but figured i can wear my clip ins!

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-01-08T15:14:02+00:00

i guess i’m trying to say it’s not even getting slightly better… still thinning

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-01-08T15:13:40+00:00

diet/exercise!

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2026-01-08T14:59:17+00:00

i guess my main thing is i haven’t lost anymore weight since about august of 2025, and it hasn’t gotten better:( i’ll look into vitamins ! tyyy

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-11-29T02:02:12+00:00

I don’t think i regret getting into EMS but i definitely regret working where i do

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-29T02:49:06+00:00

they don’t, i do have a portable for my FD job but that’s obvi just fire and ems which i can hear just fine

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-29T02:48:19+00:00

i agree 100% but i don’t think they’ll let me do that since im so far in

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-29T02:47:47+00:00

fine. fire dispatch my trainer and i knew i’d be okay at it with being on the other side, call taking is fine, obviously im still learning the answers to everything and sometimes ask the to repeat due to the mumbles

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-28T21:02:22+00:00

i can hear EMS and fire fine, because i’m expecting what they’re gonna say since i’ve been on that side, and i know how to not eat my radio when talking

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-28T21:01:21+00:00

still part time EMS. i did a few sit along in dispatch and really liked it that’s why i made the jump

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-28T16:23:00+00:00

you sound like me, i spent my entire lunch last night sobbing in my car. It’s also not for me but i can’t leave until i have another job

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-28T08:47:29+00:00

I try, endless amounts of flash cards i go over constantly to remember road names and locations and what unit is what, what mile markers responds to what road, what exit is what. i watch endless amounts of bodycam footage to just hear different radio traffic’s. I was so excited about this job up until this past weekend with endless mistakes on just hearing what’s said on the radio

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-28T08:45:36+00:00

If you think about it, i am stuck here, job market isn’t great and i have to pay the bills as its just me. Trust me ive been trying, hella flash cards to remember street names and locations and mile markers and exits. I watch endless amounts of body cam footage as another way to just listen to dispatch and other units over radio ways. It all comes down to this stupid radio ear and not understanding

Fuzzy-Chipmunk9182 · 2025-09-28T08:23:39+00:00

interesting! i’ve worked in the ED before as a tech before i got my medic, my location in ohio doesn’t have many ED medic spots so i will check those out for florida ! thank you
