DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN EMT // emt-b in a small town

[@jadynkaylin]

Hi molly!! I’m 16 and have wanted to be a EMT/Paramedic since I was 7... I have basically watched all videos regarding medicine haha. I love all your post about the topic. I can’t wait to start on this career. Already studying for the last 3 years now and taking a public safety 2 year class before college!!

[@martinacapasso9085]

Just want to throw you some words of encouragement. Go for your dreams. I'm starting emt school in Aug and I'm almost 40. I have a daughter older than you. If my old fat butt can do it so can you.

you probably dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf recently =)

@Rocky Orion yea, I have been using Instaflixxer for since december myself :D

Hi Jadyn! Thank you so much for your support!❤️ always go after what you want in life. If you have wanted to do this for so long then I say 100% go for it. You CAN do it! It sounds like you are doing big things!

[@coover65]

First off, congratulations for giving up your time to work in EMS. Can I ask how small your "very small town" is, and what is the role of an EMT-B? I'm in Australia where even small towns are crewed only by full-time paramedics (actually you have to have a Degree in Paramedicine to work on an emergency ambulance, so technically somebody at EMT level can't get employment). Your 24-hour shifts are very intriguing. In the large cities here, we do 12-hour shifts and get never get time to stop for a meal or even FOT. When I did a few years in a small outback town we only did 8-hour shifts and took an ambulance home to work on call overnight and on weekends. Best wishes with your studies, and keep up the great work.

My grandmother had those same plates. They are cool...People are talking about passing the NREMT and heck, I just passed my final Exam for Anatomy and Physiology

[@mollylewis1517]

Congratulations on passing your exam!!

[@mfrazier0412]

Hello Molly, I appreciate this video because 2 night's ago, I was a pedestrian who helped 2 victims in a drunk driving accident. My family asked me how I handled the situation and asked how I felt. They recognized what I said and knowing about my calm nature, they suggested looking into an EMT -B course. I'm 37, looking for my calling and working E-commerce in retail and grocery has been my source of income since 2014. I would appreciate your feedback 🙂. Take care, be safe and thank you for your service 👍

[@isaiahmcclure8894]

I'm a teacher thats also looking to get into EMS. Im 27 years old. I'm thinking to just pull the trigger and join the community college's next intake and see how it goes from there.

[@nate3452]

I know this comment is 7 months at this point, but I wanted to say just do it!! Look up EMT classes in your area - community colleges offer somewhat affordable classes and you can usually do payment plans with any educational institution. Take those classes, pass the NREMT and youre set! Itll be difficult, but it sounds like this is something you could be really good at. Many people are capable! Less are willing! Be willing!

[@BigDee.]

I'm trying to get a job as a supply technician for my local ambulance company but now I'm scared.. I thought the ambulance would be easy to stock but it looks like most suppliers are kept in bags/backpacks from videos I've seen. How am I supposed to know how much of everything I need to stock and what everything is 😢 I'm second guessing my interview now

[@sammaugeri1479]

Working 24 hour shifts, are you paid for all 24 hours? Or do you clock out for certain times like sleeping? Also how man days a week do you work?

[@mollylewis1517]

We are paid for all 24 hours and we stay clocked in the whole time as well. I am part time so I usually work once a week and then come and go whenever I need to fill in for someone.

I am currently an EMT student and bought a macbook air. Do you fond using an ipad easier and more functional for an EMT?

[@mollylewis1517]

I personally love having the iPad because I do believe it makes things easier! I love knowing that I can have all my notes, power-points, lectures, etc., all together in one spot. However, I still use my MacBook a lot for more lengthier assignments. It really just depends on the person, so I’d suggest doing some research to really see what is best for you and your learning styles :) ~hope this helped!

[@papalog08]

The Walmart boots she’s wearing are actually really nice. I’ve worked hospital security for a while and noticed a lot of other officers and medics wearing them. The cheapest ones are like $29 and last about a year, and they’re plenty comfortable.

[@sophiafortain5135]

how do you decide who is in the back and who drives?

[@mollylewis1517]

If it’s a BLS truck, the two EMTs will take turns. If it’s an ALS truck with a medic and an EMT, it will depend on how critical the patient is. I hope that helps!

[@anavaihrobsky3547]

Can I ask what is the difference between a Emt and a EMS like do they do the same stuff as you are no? Because I have been really wanting to be a emt but I have no clue of like what is the best lol

[@whatevernathan4578]

EMS just stands for Emergency Medical Service, EMT is within that service, along with paramedics, firefighters, and any other first responders. Hope that makes sense

[@valeriaatanacio3836]

where are you located?

[@kkatt5979]

Genuine question, part time Emt don’t work daily ?

[@leslie7502]

To be considered part time you have to work less than 30 hours a week- and most ambulance companies have you work 8 hr shifts minimum. So no, you can’t be considered part time if you work everyday- unless the company you work for allows for 4 hr shifts which is highly unlikely
