EMT and Paramedics

So you can read it in a cars rear view mirror.

EMT's do not all wear the same thing. What an EMT wears depends on the service that they are working, or volunteering, for. Some services provide their EMTs with a required uniform, where some services only require that you look professional.

For as long as they maintain their qualification and fitness level, paramedics can practice for as long as they like. Some institutions or organisations may require paramedics to be healthy, fit and within an age bracket (typically between 18 and 65).

I would think it would depend on the felony. I would think that violent crimes, sex offenders, drug related felonies and felonies related to medical practice would be the only ones that would cause a problem, but it probably depends on your states laws.

Employment for EMTs and paramedics is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2016. Job prospects should be good, particularly in cities and private ambulance services.

Employment change. Employment of emergency medical technicians and paramedics is expected to grow by 19 percent between 2006 and 2016, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Full-time paid EMTs and paramedics will be needed to replace unpaid volunteers. It is becoming increasing difficult for emergency medical services to recruit and retain unpaid volunteers because of the amount of training and the large time commitment these positions require. As a result, more paid EMTs and paramedics are needed. Furthermore, as a large segment of the population-aging members of the baby boom generation-becomes more likely to have medical emergencies, demand will increase for EMTs and paramedics. There also will still be demand for part-time, volunteer EMTs and paramedics in rural areas and smaller metropolitan areas.

Job prospects. Job prospects should be favorable. Many job openings will arise from growth and from the need to replace workers who leave the occupation because of the limited potential for advancement, as well as the modest pay and benefits in private-sector jobs.

Job opportunities should be best in private ambulance services. Competition will be greater for jobs in local government, including fire, police, and independent third-service rescue squad departments which tend to have better salaries and benefits. EMTs and paramedics who have advanced education and certifications, such as Paramedic level certification, should enjoy the most favorable job prospects as clients and patients demand higher levels of care before arriving at the hospital.

If your country normally drives on the right side of the road then you should pull over to the right as far as your safely can and come to a complete stop If your country normally drives on the left hand side of the road (England, Japan, Australia etc.) then you pull over as far as you safely can to the left and come to a complete stop.

Depends on what you mean by "Paramedic". Just to use California soon after the beginning of the EMT program for an example, EMT-1 there was primarily invovled in transport of the patient and only transport. The course for EMT-1 used to be 18 weeks, 2 nights a week. In contrast, EMT-2 at the time was a firefighter who, after completing their firefighter training, went on to do extensive EMT training, which took many weeks. NYC on the other hand had -- at one point -- 4 levels of paramedic, ranging from something like California's EMT-1 to Paramedic 4 that was allowed to prescribe/administer certain medications, based on their own decision. The Paramedic 4 listing was a difficult training regimen, and required in-field time spent at the 1, 2 and 3 levels. So it depends on which State or country, and which level of training you wish to acquire. That said, paramedics are one of the groups that seems to really like their job, and has a comparatively low turnover rate. So it's hard but worth it. Most EMT training can be any where from 4 weeks to 16 weeks, depending on the school. Paramedic training can be 6 months to 2 years, depending on the school. There are a lot of schools out there that just want the money and do not care about giving you the education you need to preform the job. Best to find a 2 year degree program from a community college. This will give you the best education.

It depends on the hiring agency/company. For a private ambulance company you would need a minimum of a state EMT licence, which could take a few months or less to earn by passing an exam, plus a good driving record, and passing a physical exam.

Bringing Out the Dead

• Yes, the police and paramedics are just human and although trained and they have seen a lot of gruesome sights when it comes to horrific collisions it can affect certain people in both professions and they do have a psychologist ready and waiting should they have a melt down on the job.

Disadvantages: Have to carry heavy patients, back injuries, being kicked at, spit at and urinated on, sitting on a street corner (not all systems have their units posting on a street corner. Some have a base or fire station to sit at and this can be a possitve thing. for 12 hours in a small seat, see horrific things, high burn out, deal with the scum of the earth on a daily basis, and risk your life daily for lousy pay.

Advantages: The 1 out of 20 patients that actually needs an ambulance and the feeling you get when you are able to help them. Even though most patients do not truly need and ambulance, paramedics do make a difference in those people's lives just by being there for them on what they feel is their worst day. Being able to make a difference is rewarding to the provider and is often times what motivates them to become a paramedic.

Air ambulances are commonly used in situations where other ambulances are impossible to use, or not practical for the situation. The average air ambulance can travel at about 140 miles per hour.

The word ambulance on an ambulance is backwards because when you're in front of an ambulance and there's an emergency you would usually see from your rear view mirror. When you see something in a mirror it is always backwards. so when you see the word ambulance on an ambulance, you would see it normally.
