I happened to grow up in a town on the East Coast which had a waiver from the state allowing people as young as 16 to certify as an EMT and work on the ambulance (but no driver could be under 18). And that's the path that I ended up taking. In retrospect, it was not a healthy decision, haha.

Where do you work that you're able to supervise as an EMT? I know of absolutely no 911 system that has BLS level supervisors. Good for you!

@scotrule6128

4 жыл бұрын

They are a BLS-only ambulance service, that is supported by both Fire and (what use to be Rural Metro), I believe it’s now AMR. Basically they act as first responders, and once the actual ambulance with ALS ability arrives, that unit, be it Fire or Rural/Metro, AMR, etc take over care and transportation. Unless it’s an actual BLS call, then it will be turned over to the Uni.

my question: is Campus EMS ALS capable?

So how many hours would you say you worked that day

I don't remember exactly, but Ryan being a Supervisor had an overnight shift meaning he was on call from around 5pm to 8am. The vlog shows the more active parts of the shift and after the emergency response call concluded around 2am, we went back home. Ryan then would return to the Ambulance headquarters in the morning to end his shift. Thanks for watching!

In a real emergency case which it require e professional help (like stroke) they send a doctor with a nurse or one of them, or we already have one of them in the ambulance.

The bureau of labor statistics says that there’s only 15% of people who are competent enough to be an EMT paramedic that’s why there is a shortage of them! So I suggest to become an EMR first & volunteer to get your foot in the door?! I’ve been a paramedic since 1998!

You can become an ECA (Emergency Care Assistant) or ECSW (Emergency Care Support Worker) through applying to a local ambulance trust. Becoming an EMT or Associate Practitioner requires you to complete quite a few courses as you can give drugs and conduct more skills. If you want to become an EMT best thing to do is work your way up from an ECA through the trust you work for, or if you have precious healthcare experience apply for an EMT role straight out. Also the Paramedic role is only achieved through University now, so 3 years full time and you’ll get the BSc Hons in that :).

I'm a NYS EMT living on Long Island in Suffolk County and this is very much of "you wanna be an EMT" because it's not like you see on TV. A lot of the time is spent sitting around waiting for a call. What Ryan is doing is he's showing that if you wanna be an EMT this is what it's like a lot of the time. I know that during the overnight shift call volume isn't as high as it is during the day. I volunteered and worked over night's for 26 years and there would be maybe 2 calls usually between 2am - 3am, but I was always able to get sleep until about 5a or 5:30a. Ryan has also worked hard for his promotion and instead of criticizing his work You should strap up and become an EMT.
