Most Stressful summer I ever had but it was worth it! Feels great to be certified. I had a great Instructor that really knew what she was doing. The road wasn’t without it’s ups and downs though… However feels great to have come this far.

Took the National Test and found out this morning that I made it!!! Whew…what a relief!! That test was a pain and a half..I felt like I bombed it for sure, and didn’t feel like attempting it again if I did happen to fail…but I passed!!
I have been an emt for over 1 y 6 m and I really enjoy it..actually I have been in dispatch since last aug c/o being prego..but I had y baby in Nov and I feel I need a change maybe back to the road I go!
Less than 8 hours ago…practicals are done! Now all thats left is some paper work, and the written! Almost done!!
I’ve always wanted to be either a lawyer or a doctor, but since my undergrad years (and money) was spent on pre-law, my full time career is best spent in the legal industry. I’m currently working full time as a paralegal (still a Law School hopefull) and am interested in being an EMT, either part time or as overnight work. I would like the opportunity to help people and the occassional thrill of responding to an emergency call.
I’m currently pricing the classes in my area and checking to see if my Red Cross CPR/AED cert are what I need to start the classes.
Well, into my 6th month of class…the finish line is sight. We had to take a written test for our class and had to get an 80% on this final in order to keep our scholarships…and I passed well above an 80%!!
Thursday thru Saturday will be the practicals…Thurs & Fri for our class instructors and a class grade, Saturday, the read deal for state. Later this month will be the testing for state done on a computer at a testing center. I’m almost done, and I couldn’t be more relieved!!
certified emt-b anyways. I don’t think that I’ll be able to do it as a full time job or anything, but I really want to have this experience.

Digitelle is unmoored in a sea of potential asks,
“all the EMS workers I see go into it fairly young. Is 28 much older than average for going into this career?”
