Thinking about Becoming an EMT?
By: Lisha Mark

Jobs are scarce and pay is often low but things are looking up for people who want a service oriented career. Have you ever thought about signing up for an EMT program and becoming a certified EMT? If you have then you are thinking about a field that has opportunities for advancement and plenty of challenges and excitement each day that you are on the job.


When you consider that you also begin this line of work with a solid starting salary of $25,000+ it starts to seem like things are indeed looking up. The initial training for you to become an EMT at a basic level can be accomplished in just a matter of a few months. And let’s not overlook the fact that you are going to get some much needed, on the job experience along with your EMT program courses.

Every single day, the government is fighting to rid us of our rights.
• The right to speak our minds.
• The right to bear arms.
• The right to exercise our own free will.

And it’s only going to get worse.
I believe law abiding citizens should be free to go about their business without being detained or molested by officers of the law. To feel secure in their own homes.
To have a way to defend themselves without being considered a criminal.
Trouble is, you’re the only one playing by the rules.
The criminals don’t care they’re breaking the law. Carrying weapons in public places. Attacking innocents for a quick cash grab (or worse).
To combat this growing threat, we’ve developed a new self-defense item.
To fight back when the situation calls.
It’s called the Strikepen Black™
A discreet self-defense tool that you can carry with you at all times.
And for today only, this highly sought-after product is being offered to a select group of Americans. We want to get this product in the hands of the people who really need it.
For FREE. (No tricks. No scams. No hidden fees).
You pay the postage and we’ll send a top-of-the-line Strikepen to your home.
I just wish we had more to give away.
Do it before it’s too late!

There are some things that you need to be aware of when thinking about becoming an EMT. EMTs are the first responders on the scene of some terrible accidents and emergency situations. As such, they have to face blood, broken bones, illnesses, body fluids, and even death. The job is very physical as well, requiring bodies to be moved and lifted, CPR to be administered and more. However, because EMTs have to face these things, it is a highly rewarding position, since they save people’s lives on a regular basis, and give comfort to those they meet.

Becoming Certified There are many EMT programs that can help you get started as an emergency medical technician. You can find EMT program outlines and courses by browsing online. Then you can decide which one is best suited for you.

You should determine which specific EMT program will best provide the basic knowledge that you need as an entry level EMT. Online courses are especially convenient if you have to work other jobs while training to become an EMT. The great benefit of an EMT program that features online training is that you are allowed to complete the coursework at your own pace.

Another way to take EMT program courses is through community colleges or technical colleges. These schools also work with you if you need to continue working another job while going to school. There are usually financial aid opportunities and scholarships available at most schools, plus the classes are usually scheduled at all times of the day and evening so that you can find a schedule that works for you.

If you are interested in pursuing higher levels of EMT training, you might want to look for an EMT program that leads to becoming a paramedic. Then you will need to continue your studies at a community college or four year school. Paramedic training requires more difficult coursework, such as classes in advanced anatomy and physiology and there are many practical, hands-on elements that are involved. People who want to become a paramedic often pursue this dream after gaining experience in the field for a couple of years at a basic or intermediate EMT level.

Paramedics have more knowledge of the different medications that can be utilized while in transit; are taught how to insert a variety of IV’s for life-saving fluids, and know how to use all of the advanced life support, emergency response equipment that is available in the ambulances.

They are also the ones that the nurses and doctors will look to when they need detailed information when the patient arrives at the hospital so that they are clear about the situation. Certain 911 calls can also require the services of a trained, skilled paramedic. Pursuing an EMT program will provide you with the necessary coursework that can be the bridge you need to move into nursing or another medical field at a later date.
