I have spent years preparing for the challenges and demands of working as a paramedic, having known since I WAS young, that I WANTED to enter into a demanding career that changes lives each and every day. My fascination with the intricate workings of the human body began after witnessing a cardiac arrest and subsequent CPR, at MY LOCAL swimming pool, aged 8. From then ONWARDS I began learning first aid, little did I know I would use these skills -deleteand-) numerous times over the following years

In the growing field of emergency medical services, more and more emergency medical technician and paramedic courses are becoming available. This is why our collegiate institution needs to push to a higher level and become nationally accredited through the CoAEMSP.

Twenty-four hour work shifts are common among the EMT industry and the resulting fatigue is causing mental and physical health issues with EMT’s as well as safety issues for both EMT’s and the patients they are responding to.

future jobs include nursing, a paramedic, and a firefighter. They all show how people can be helped if they are in danger, or if they are hurt and need help right away. These three jobs are not only helping the hurt person out, but they are making sure that the whole family does not have a downpour of tears because they cannot trust the person helping them, or that their family member or friend from not saving them in this type of situation.
