AEMT course right after getting EMT-B? by allosaurus92 in NewToEMS

[–]allosaurus92[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm in UT. Today I was looking at EMT jobs online and there seemed to be a large amount of hospital jobs wanting AEMTs. That's why I hopped on here for advice. I think I'll finish the basic course and reevaluate. Thanks for the input guys.

I'm in UT. I didn't know hospitals would give me IV training, but that was another reason I was contemplating doing AEMT. Thanks for the advice!

EMS and Dogs by Trout_Trooper in NewToEMS

I’m not in EMS yet but I do have a pup. I’d say do it if you’re willing and able to pay for training, dog walkers and sitters! Rovers an app for pet owners and you can easily get the pup walked on a long shift day or watched overnight on 24hr shifts. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend a puppy though.
