Why I Want To Pursue A Wealth-Degree Student

The Mercy Flights Explorer Post is the career education part of Boy Scouts of America. I have been part of the post for 2 years and was elected as ambulance operation making me responsible for maintaining and restocking the ambulance that Mercy Flights donated to the post. Within my 2 years I have done eight twelve hour shift ride alongs on the ambulance assisting the paramedic and EMT with patients as we transport them to the hospital ranging from sprained ankles to heart attacks. A big part of what the post does is attend community events where we provide first aid to

I entered into the world of EMS in December of 2008, when I obtained by EMT-Basic certification in the State of Maryland. I started volunteering for a fire-based EMS system, Baltimore County, where I functioned as an EMT/ Firefighter. I also started working as an EMT at a private ambulance company. After functioning as an EMT for 5 years, I graduated from University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Emergency Health Services, Paramedic track. For the next couple of months, I worked on a critical care ALS unit that offered interfacility transportation, ranging from neonates to geriatrics. Although I was not certified as critical care paramedic, I functioned with a critical care nurse, as well as worked

Additionally I am self-motivated, determined and focused, when I set goals I follow through on them. This is my track record as while working as a Home Health Aide, I decided to further my career in the health care department. I went back to school and pursue a certification in Emergency Medical Technician. I obtained this certification while working full-time. After obtaining my Emergency Medical Technician Certification, I volunteer with a Volunteer Ambulance Corporation in the capacity of Emergency Medical Technician working alongside experienced and proficient Technicians. Volunteering gives me the opportunity to get hands on experience and training, and it also cements the knowledge that this is where my passion lies. I will do whatever it takes to reach my highest level, so that I can deliver quality services with professional standard.

I had the pleasure of interviewing a good friend of mine and a co-worker named Vincent. Vincent is a 28-year-old from the Philippians. He is the youngest of two and him and his brother are part of his family first generation of children born here in America. Vincent has been working as a nurse for the past three years providing in-home services to special needs children. Vincent explained he enjoyed his job and get fulfillment from doing his job. Vincent did express some dissatisfaction with his job as of late because his clients are beginning to become more physically aggressive towards him leaving him with bruises and torn clothes. Vincent stated he has been thinking about joining the United States Air Force to gain more experience in triage because he would like to work in the emergency room or ICU one day.

Above all, Berkman says that volunteering as an Advanced EMT-Critical Care has been a rewarding experience and encourages fellow students to follow suit. “It’s a tremendous opportunity to get involved and help your campus,” he said. “I would encourage everyone to look into volunteering regardless of their career path, as the skills you acquire are useful in every profession and make you a stronger

With multiple overdoses, two CPR’s and other life-threatening emergencies. I have grown and developed and have gained knowledge from each experience. I have taken incident command classes, ICS 100,200,300, 346, and Nims- 700 in order to improve myself for the safety of the community. Today, I take pride in being an EMT and being able to see those I have helped and see where they are today because of it. Each and every day, I aim to learn something new whether it is something about the body or if its operational information.

Growing up I was always exposed to the medical field because my mom worked in the emergency department in the local hospital. When I graduated high school, I got a job working in the construction field making a great salary, for as young as I was. Because of this, I continued to work in this field for the next eleven years. It wasn’t until I was 29 years old when I got laid off of my construction job and my whole world came crashing down on me. I moped around for a month but quickly realized that this is now my time to pursue my dream of becoming a Firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). That next summer I enrolled at Aims Community College in

One day a couple years ago I was at daycare playing with my friends and it was a normal day. My mom soon called and said that my grandparents had been in a tragic car crash. Their car was totaled and my grandparents were not in good condition. They were soon rushed to the hospital and taken care of. They are doing fine today and still have their up-beat, friendly attitude. If not for those EMTs that were on the scene, sad to say, they probably wouldn’t be here today. I chose this topic because I want to help other become healthy again and to be around for there family. This paper will talk about why I wanted to do this job, other names for an EMT, summary of what an EMT does, the kinds of EMTs and what their specific job is, the qualifications, education path, salary, job findings, jobs related to an EMT, benefits, and if I still consider being an EMT.

Captains in SEMS play a vital role in the organization and are tasked with assorted responsibilities. Perhaps, one of the most important duties delegated to Captains, is the training of the Probationary EMT's. It is the responsibility of the Captains to provide exemplary training to all the probationary members to ensure that they are prepared to serve as an EMT on behalf of SEMS. As a probationary member, the training I received help to further my knowledge and skills as an EMT. I am grateful for the superb training that I received, and would like to provide other probationary members with the same caliber of training, In addition to training probationary members, it is expected that Captains hold continuing education courses for all members

When I was young my grandmother taught me to always help others. Even those who may be mean or undeserving of it. There were many stereotypes and jokes made about me but she still wanted us to always help others. I learned to go with the flow and let it go. This lesson and the value in helping others helped me especially in high school. During my junior year in high school I began to take an interest in a program call Opportunities in Emergency Care. That year I was certified as a first aid provider and in CPR. As a senior I continued my education in this field. I am now a certified Emergency Medical Responder and I will be a certified Emergency Medical Technician. I have had many occasions to apply the knowledge and skills I gained, by working

The experience I gained at the cardiology clinic and the hours shadowing at the Methodist Hospital emergency room are a pillar for the career of my choice. I want to be able to help those in need in my local community hospital. I feel the urge to give a hand to those that have guided me through the right path, from teaching me right from wrong to encouraging me to strive to be the best in life. At the Methodist hospital, I learned how to obtain patient’s medical history and entered data into Cerner, and I obtained consent from patients before procedures such as diagnostic imaging and casting. I observed physical examinations being performed by the physician assistant and it taught me that it is necessary to have knowledge to be able to diagnose and treat conditions and that interpersonal skills are essential for this career. Currently, I work for the department of health where I triage and register patients, assist physicians and nurse practitioner in the examination of patients, and assist with maintenance of inventory supplies and

I was always passionate about becoming a healthcare professional because of the role healthcare professional play in improving the lives of people. As most, if not all of body functions revolve around the respiratory process, respiratory therapy was the occupation, within the healthcare field I have been professing for over a decade now. My choice to be a respiratory therapist helps fortify my burning desire to contribute in making a difference in the life of the people with whom I come in contact. The learning spectrum in the respiratory therapy occupation varies from interpersonal communication, as well as, peer coaching. While I have acquired a strong level of skill set to excel as a respiratory therapist and as an undergraduate in Bioinformatics,

However, I am currently in the process of being hired by the District of Columbia Fire Department but this is only a step in the right direction. I strongly believe that with my education further opportunities will arise for me, than just being a firefight / emt. Although, I have had my eyes on being a professional firefighter for many years, I wish to use my education in the behind the scenes work. My love for the fire department started at a very young age. Growing up my grandmother became very ill at a young age; this is where I first found interest in the medical field. The passion that countless doctors, nurses, medical staff, and fire department members had for a stranger encouraged me to pursue my career in this

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.

I quickly became fascinated in the academic material and am constantly studying. Little did I know that when we started working with patients my real fascination would begin. I worked as a lifeguard for two years in high school, but I was unsure of how I would react to emergency situations. When you are put in the face of a true emergency your body goes through a fight or flight process, we either wake up and work or we shut down. My first call is one that I will never forget, it was when I first discovered that somewhere inside of my natural introversion was a part of my personality who would do anything to get someone’s mind off of their pain or nervousness.
