Being A Paramedic

Throughout life people dream of doing something that is amazing, and my goal is to do just that. Ever since I was a kid, I knew that I wanted to assist others and make an impact on people's lives in a positive way. Knowing this, I have always wanted to be a pediatric nurse to better the lives of children in need.

My first goal is to graduate and get certified as a medical assistant. To reach this goal I will attend every class, study hard, and pass every class so when I complete my externship I will be confident in my new career.

My career goal is to become an Occupational Therapist and specialize in pediatrics. I want to specialize in pediatrics because I have always loved to be around children and be able to help them in whatever they need. Also, pediatrics is important to me because kids are our future and if I can help kids for their future I will be glad to do so. Helping kids become more independent on their activities of daily living makes me happy because I am helping them to become more independent and make them feel like they can accomplish anything. In order to be able to do this I have to get a Master Degree and I plan on getting this degree from Loma Linda University. In five years I see myself working in the Occupational Therapy setting and working with kids. I see myself, making others

I chose to research a paramedic because I would like to help save lives. I believe that I will never have a dull moment running with the EMS. My family is full of nurses, saving lives every day. I chose to take my saving lives to a different level and setting. Something about standing in a hospital, going patient to patient isn’t my thing. I need more excitement and commotion.

A major turning point in my life would be going through the Paramedic School. I say this because you must successfully complete the program to become a certified paramedic, and that was the only way to further my career as a first responder. Being a paramedic comes with immense responsibility, and the training to become one, is very hard and stressful. However, my Cardiology class; clinicals; and the National Registry Exam all taught me something about myself. Each of these has its own struggles, as well as its own significance, both to my career and me personally.

Some people have higher dreams like becoming a doctor or lawyer and some people have simple dreams. My American Dream is one day becoming a firefighter and then having enough money to retire and live my life well. I also have a friend who wants to become a paramedic, but everyone has a different dream and a different way they will approach it.

To reach my goals, I will have to make certain sacrifices. I plan on becoming an EMT to better my chances for medical school, and then I plan on entering military service to pay for medical school and to broaden my skill level within the field of medicine. With this training, experience, and discipline, I believe that I will be a perfect candidate for medical school

I am a nursing student. I have a great passion for caring for others. My short term goals are to graduate Riverland Community College with my Associate's Degree in Nursing this December. I plan to work very hard and prepare to take my nursing licensure exam at the beginning of next year to become licensed as a registered nurse. I will then transfer to Metropolitan State University to complete my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.

People express the decisions they reach each day and their desire to alter some of the outcomes. As I observe the world around me, some just graduating high school ours rebuilding themselves for something better in life. Everyone is striving to be something in life; it’s as if the returns are boundless by the time you graduate college. Just learning to watch people and the decisions they make can affect the means which I adopted to pick my profession. Becoming a paramedic educated me on surveying people and their habits. Being empathetic amongst the things you do, sometimes comes with a penalty, others come with admiration. The unique obsession that urges me to exceed each time is knowing that each human being is helped, through everything

The Emergency Medical Service(EMS) are the people who will usually respond to a 911 call relating to medical emergency.

As part of assessment for CSB330, students worked in small groups to demonstrate and record the correct application of ambulance equipment and perform five clinical skills. These skills were: Neann Immobilisation Extrication Jacket (NIEJ), Carbon Traction Emergency Medical Services (CT-EMS) traction splint, Pelvic Circumferential Compression Device (SAM pelvic sling), Oropharyngeal airway (OPA) and Nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) and Stiffneck cervical collar/soft neck collar. The development of foundational skills early in the paramedic science degree is important, as these skills need to be performed competently during clinical placement. Ambulance practice requires a combination of skill based activity,

From those goals, I chose to be a pediatric nurse. It is hard to make a decision on which way should I major in but it is important to follow our heart when we have to make a decision on anything we do. I chose pediatric nurse because I know that pediatric nurse is what I wanted to be, what I love to do, and what makes me happy. I know how much important it is and how much beneficial for everyone. I found myself to be a pediatric nurse as my career because the pediatric nurse gave a great beneficial for every human life, it brought us a good salary, and give us a connection with

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

Ever since I was little I knew I always wanted a career working in the medical field. I never had particular field just knew that's what I wanted to do. One career value that has always been important to me is helping people. A lot of people base their career off what they like to do. Another value that is important to me is job advancement. I have always told myself no matter what career I chose I wanted advance further. A career skill that I have always been good at is working on computers. Before deciding to go in the medical field I wanted to go into information technology. My going into medical billing and coding I will be able to work on the computer and help people at the same time. My short term goal would be to finally finish school

From the moment a 911 operator identifies the situation in a call, a team of trained professionals quickly yet calmly assemble and in 8 minutes/ 59 seconds or less, arrive at a scene to potentially save someone’s life. Paramedics are the basis of first responders, and are skilled in several different fields. They have to handle extreme situations ranging in cities, towns, and even way out rural areas. Although often associated with ambulances, they also work in helicopters, hospitals, and the occasional police or firefighting vehicle.
