An EMT-IV is a emergency medical technician. So I go out on ambulances and help people basically. There are certain things I can and cannot do depending on my level trained (EMT-B, EMT-IV, EMT-P). I can't wait to start school up for my paramedic license. :)

Oh and I called my mom and best friend first. But hey 3rd in line isn't that bad still. ;)

I was once and EMT in the US Navy. It was OK, but these day I am not even CPR Certified, as I would not save the life of anyone besides my kids or someone close to me whom I thought deserved to live. Bad attitude but it is how I feel, and as such I would NEVER work in a hospital again.

My friend is a paramedic, lowest level. He just drives the truck. He wants out, due to strange hours.

Paramedic is the highest level, you have it backwards.

Good job, you will never get to stop studying now, lol.

I didn't want to say anything about b/c i didn't want to be an ass, but yah, What 911paramedic said.
Don't worry though, it doesn't seem like most people even know the difference. I work at a hospital and half of the peeps in the ER doesn't know the difference. Ah well.

This summer i will hopefully get my EMT-B. Any advice?

1)Be ambitious about it!

2)If your state uses the National Registry, study a lot. It's not easy b/c of the fact that half of the questions have 2 right answers and you have to pick the best answer.

3)It's all about the ABCs.


:D

Good, I just broke my leg, and it's in this weird shape....come pick me up and take me to the hospital...I'm in Nashville, so hopefully you're close ;). Well actually, I broke it a couple of hours ago, I'm already bandaged up....YOU WERE TOO SLOW!
