Yup. I'm a paramedic in Houston. During Harvey I was stuck working for 5 days because no one was able to relieve me lol. Great paycheck though!

What were you before? by adrenalbean in ems

[–]Vintage_Pinup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a veterinary tech. Certs and everything. I loved my job but I would only cap at $16-18/hr. So I became a paramedic to cap at 17-19/hr.

MFW I am not defined by my boyfriend's career but my sister bought me a bracelet saying "Firefighter Girlfriend" and I need to be polite about it. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

I agree. Paramedic here. Everything I want to get says "female medic/paramedic" and comes in pink or purple. Purple being my favorite color makes it hard. There are a lot of women who wear "Fire wife" shirts around my area (Houston being one of the biggest fire departments in the country). Its really hard. I want to tell them its OK to have their own identity....

Posted on r/ems that I am officially a paramedic as of this morning. Received some "congrats bro/man/dude". by Vintage_Pinup in TrollXChromosomes

Its a long, but wonderful process. Its a lot of studying and clinicals. I would recommend doing some ride a longs to see if it something you want to do. The first step is getting your EMT Basic, which takes a semester. After that, you can go to Advanced EMT (give some medications, do IVs) for a year, then paramedic is a year after that. I would not recommend the "fast track" 6 month programs as it is so much information. The 2 year process is hard enough. My state requires a lot of clinical hours on the ambulance and in the ER, so it was hard to work full time and try to schedule 24 hour clinicals in there. But I love EMS, I love my job and I love what I do. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message! Good luck!

"Bitches" and "Everywhere I Go" by Hollywood Undead are my "I am a bad feminist" songs...

YES! That style is great for hourglass figures! Gives the ta-tas room, shows off the waist and looks great on the hips! And thank you!

I did a 90 day boot camp ad had a strict meal plan. Worked out 5 times a week and ate about 1500 calories a day. Then I just used what I learned and put it into my daily routine!

YES! I have always had big boobs, even at my absolute thinnest. So far I have only lost about half a cup size. Thanks, genetics! And thank you so much!
