Another EMT Question
Thanks again for answering my first question. I was wondering, how do you go about finding out what schools in your area offer these classes. Also, did you go to work as an EMT and then later try for your paramedic. Also, if you don't mid ho does the hours an pay work?
Thanks YG!

You might try a Google search for "EMT
training classes insert your city state"
I took my classes at a university, but
sometime fire departments hold classes
too.
I worked as an EMT. I live in a very
small town and didn't like the time
away from home. Had I lived in a
bigger town, I would have loved it.
But 24 hours on and 48 off is the
usual schedule. In a town where
nothing happens that's a long time
to sit around doing nothing & was
very boring!
I would have loved to take paramedic
training. But my kids were young then
and it is a pretty intense year of study
and clinical work. The only place offering
the training was to far away.
Some people may try to go straight into
Paramedic training. I do think you have
a much better chance of being accepted
into the program if you are already an
EMT. Not to mention you will have so much
to learn in such a short time, its better
to have the basics down already.
I started at 7 or 8 bucks an hour but that
was years ago. You can search pay scales
for each in your city and state too. That
would be more reliable.
Good luck! If you need help along the way
please stop in and ask! :)
