∙ 14y agoAn EMT-B or EMT-I are levels of training for emergency care with a fire department or ambulance service. An EMT-P is known as a paramedic. If you have an EMT-B certification you can certify to be an EMT-P. The EMT-B course is fairly basic but gives the important tools necessary to save lives in serious situations.
Ambulance service and clinicals are required for EMT certification but you may not necessarily ride in an ambulance as an EMT-B or EMT-I. You are basically an additional certified medical professional to assist the paramedic in the event of multiple casualties.

∙ 11y agoYes, paramedics go through higher levels of training, and are allowed to perform tasks that EMT's cannot. To put this in perspective, EMT's receive 120-150 hours of training, while paramedics receive 1,200-1,800 hours of training. In light of this, paramedics are allowed to give shots and use more advanced techniques which are out of the scope of service of EMT's.

∙ 10y agoDepending on the type of emergency (fire, shooting, etc) paramedics, firefighters, policemen, or other emergency service officers may be considered "first responders". Paramedics are only those who have been extensively trained in emergency medical and first aid care.

How do you go from RN to EMT in Texas?
A lot of the skills cross over. the biggest difference is you will need to learn how to do what you do in a totally different environment. With your expirence as an RN you can ace an EMT school with book smarts. hopefully you have the street smarts to use common since to stabalize a patient in the elements without a lot of personal saftey. You may need to take an EMT course in TX and get certified. If you are certified in another state as an EMT, get you National Registry (nremt.org) and you will be automatically registered in TX upon applying.My question to you is why the heck would you want to go from being a RN to an EMT!? Get your paramedic or licensed paramedic, work both jobs (RN and EMT-P) in DFW and buy a new house and truck while looking for a cute doctor to marry in the hospitals you are in everyday!Classes can be taken online through your state requirements of National registry for certified medical professionals. If you are a resident of Texas, you can use PERCOM for all EMT courses as well as First Responder.http://percomonline.com/
What is the salary difference between an RN working in a hospital versus an RN working in a clinic?
Usually an RN would make more money working in a hospital. That is not always the case. It depends on the hospital and the clinic. The difference in salary wouldn't be significant
what is the difference between cna training and rn training?
CNA is a much shorter amount of training and you wouldn't be able to do all the things a RN does. Many people become CNA's on the way to getting their RN because it is a good way to get on the job experience.

What is the difference between an emt and an emt b?
EMT, or Emergency Medical Technician, is the blanket term. There are several levels of EMTs. The nationally accepted levels are as follows: EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate (85), EMT-Basic Advanced, EMT-Intermediate (99), EMT-Paramedic. You often hear about "Paramedics" as though everyone on an ambulance is a Paramedic, but in reality, EMT-Bs are the most common responders. EMT's will respond out of a station or a fire department, and they typically cover a much smaller area. EMT-Paramedics might respond to more rural areas from farther away, depending on the local and financial availability of Paramedics within an area.

What is the difference between emt and paramedic?
Let's break this down to the US version. There's are 3 levels of pre-hospital care in the US. The EMT system in the US is changing, it used to be: EMT-B(Basic), EMT-I(Intermediate) and EMT-P(Paramedic). This system is changing in most states to EMR, EMT, and EMT-P. The EMT is the mid level of pre-hospital care. This level usually requires about a year to a year and a half of college education and training. An EMT-I(EMT) can do some more advanced skills then the EMT-B(EMR) such as basic cardiac monitoring, cricothyrotomy and more medications. ALL levels of pre-hospital care are considered EMTs, but only the EMT-P is a Paramedic. The Paramedic is the most advanced level of EMT and requires about 2 years or college education and training. The Paramedic may do everything the EMT can do plus intubation, 12 lead ECG, administer 20 medications(depends on protocol) and more. Paramedics are Advanced Life Support(ALS) providers, the EMT-B is Basic Life Support(BLS) and the EMT-I is sort of a mix. Hopefully this helped answer your question. It's OK to call a Paramedic an EMT but you can't call a EMT a Paramedic.
How much does a emt earn in Connecticut?
It depends on where you work. Here in CT, experienced paramedics can make almost 60K a year. EMTs in this state start at $10-$15. Medics rarely start under $15, and can reach about $30 after many years. Fire medics get paid the most and can reach 6 digit incomes nearing retirement if they've climbed the ranks appropriately. The problem with that BLS website is that it's combining EMT and paramedicwages... or something. There's a huge difference both in education and pay rates between an EMT and a paramedic. It's like comparing a CNA and an RN, so I have no idea why the website does it like that. However, you should work as an EMT for at least 2 years before starting paramedic school
