Becoming A Paramedic

The career I am curious about is in the medical field, generally speaking, nursing. I have chosen to become a registered nurse because of its background, and how its characteristics require the use of creativity, problem-solving, social skills, and critical thinking. Registered nurses use various skills to diagnose and apply certain care methods to specific patients. I know that nurses aid patients with various illnesses, diseases, disabilities, and injuries. I love helping people and the feeling I receive when helping people. It would also be very motivating to learn and discover things about the human body and how to fix any problems involving it.

The first time I realized I wanted to specialize in medicine was when my father took me to the fire station when I was around the age of fourteen. He began to show me images of different cases and trauma scenes they had participated in. Since then, I have constantly asked my dad questions about different calls and scenarios about patients he has rescued. By having a father in the medical field and continuing to take science and medical courses throughout high school, I began to learn more about medicine throughout the years. Deciding to partake in these courses further advanced my understanding in medicine. These courses helped it become clear to me that the medical field is something I continuously

This continual career contemplation changed during a night when my grandmother was taken to the emergency department. I remember feeling uneasy and helpless while dialing 911 and riding in the ambulance with her to the hospital. I wished I had the abilities at the time to help her instead of just watching her lay there unresponsive. The staffs at the hospital were very knowledgeable, but I appreciated the nurse that took care of my grandmother the most. As I stood

The reason why is because I’m going to be certified in Technology and Business in an elective that I am currently taking. Being certified in this class will help me find better job opportunities and a good pay. The first step of a paramedic is to be certified as a EMT-B Which Is that basic level. It takes six months to complete 120 to 150 hours of training. Working as a paramedic you can work in many areas. For example, in a fire house, helicopter support, in a cruise ship, and many other

The medical field is rapidly growing with so many different careers to choose from. There are many different things that you could specialize in. There are so many opportunities in the medical field for you to grow and become something bigger. A very interesting field to go in is a pediatric nurse. This specific career path interests me because when my little brother was 5 years old he suddenly woke up one morning with his body completely swollen. We immediately rushed him to the hospital. While at the hospital they told us that he had Nephrotic Syndrome. His kidneys weren’t properly working and he was leaking excess protein in his urine. Since that day I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to help others, especially kids in their

Hearing the sound of a pager going off in the distance. Seeing a person running through the halls, jumping into an ambulance, and taking off with lights and sirens blaring loudly. The thought of helping others and changing lives intrigues me. A path of becoming a paramedic has been carved out for me. I plan on following this career path, after I finish high school in May of 2017.Graduating from MOC-Floyd Valley High school is only the beginning of a lifelong career. There is no other college that I can think of that has this program and the instructors to teach it. Consequently, it is close enough to home and yet far enough away, so I can experience the college life.

It is no secret that America holds extensive opportunities for its citizens. Those living in America can enjoy the freedom established by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Many flee to America as a source of comfort and new beginnings. However, recently a governmental epidemic presented itself. Programs and institutions funded by the government are being shut down due to budget problems. These institutions hold vital importance in our daily lives. Government funding allows nurses, EMT's, paramedics, and drivers to renew and create their licenses so they can practice their job legally. Without the renewing of licenses, hospitals may experience understaffing. More people may die or receive injuries as a result of lack of paramedics.

In order to become a paramedic in Ontario, you must be a high school graduate and must attend a recognized paramedic program at an Ontario college.

Over the years I have changed careers so many times: a vet, a violinist, an audiologist, an astronaut, a biomedical engineer, and a dancer, but none seem to stick more than the desire to help people. Throughout life I have volunteered at many events. In the past help plant trees, create relief kits, job shadow at hospitals, and help kids go back to school by participating in a program call “Back 2 School” that gives out free backpacks, school supplies, haircuts and more. I think being in a medical career will be good for me. I always like to help people since I was a wee girl and this seems to be a good career for me. Emergency medicine will allow me the chance to provide and take of my family, and be happy with my career

Originally the thought of sending stationed paramedics out into the community for scheduled visits with the homebound, or recently discharged patients sounded like a solid proposal. Having paramedics check on wound care, medication administration and general wellness of patients is a positive step to reduce unnecessary trips to the emergency department, clinics and doctor offices. However, the cost of these services would then lie solely on the ambulance services, using their employees, the gasoline and the wear and tear on the vehicles, when these services actually gain nothing financially from the home visits. In order for all services to benefit, the emergency services agencies would need to enter into agreements with the insurance companies

Hard skills, hard skills are something that you can be taught to do such as being taught how to do multiplication. In the paramedic field you have many hard skills that would be used on a daily basis one being able to know how to understand and communicate with dispatch and other departments such as fire or police using codes another hard skill that you would use in the field is operating lights and sirens on the way to a sene where being dispatched to or being able to stock the ambulance each shift so you can have the needed supplies in case you need more of the supplies so you don’t run out of something that chould potientally save a life there are many hard skills needed in the paramedic field but there are also many soft skills that are

Healthcare has many different areas one can go into if interested in this field. I have chosen two that have always been an interest to me; Nursing (particularly registered nursing) and an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician). Both jobs are very demanding and extremely important. Both are respected jobs and require a tremendous amount of caring for others.

Have you ever wondered what is like to have someone’s life in your hands while one thousand feet above the ground? Well I have and I want to be a life light paramedic but to be a life light paramedic there are a few steps you must take. Step one is to take an EMT class to become an EMT. But one thing to count on in this field is blood and it’s not for the squeamish. Another perk life light paramedics need or any paramedic for that fact is to be quick thinker and able to make big decisions fast.

Another important career in the emergency field are firefighters. The steps to becoming a firefighter are simple, with starting out as a volunteer. Volunteering helps build a vital professional contacts, which is important is this highly competitive field. A fire science education is required and offered at most community colleges and four year universities (Fire Science Degree Programs in North Carolina| Firefighter Training). Then attending a fire academy which typically last three months. This academy is designed to train and prepare firefighters for certification. The academy is meant to physically prepare firefighters. Passing a strenuous physical examination is a another requirement. In addition, a physical exam is performed checking

High school was over, a college in Lubbock, Texas was chosen, and this young adult was going to attend paramedic school. At the end of the first semester, personal and family issues surfaced, and it was back to the little small town of Willis. Still wanting to pursue the paramedic field, Reed realized that this wasn’t the right time to do so, and began seeking employment to help with family needs. This hardworking driven individual worked two to three jobs at a time over the next nine years to help support family. In all this time, the dream of becoming a paramedic was never lost. It wasn’t until June 2011 that the door to pursue this field was reopened.
