Hey! My name's CJ. I was recently hired as a full time FF/Paramedic for a some-what rural department. I'm so excited for this opportunity! It still suprises me that they pay me to do something that I already love so much. I'm on a short break from my schooling until I can gather enough holiday/sick/vacation hours to take off for class. Once I'm back in, I think I'll be changing my major back to Health Promotions with a minor in Secondary Education. Teaching is definitely something I could see myself getting into at some point. Hopefully, with a little more experience under my belt I'll be able to staart teaching EMT classes. I also do part time work for another local fire department that has really helped advance me in this line of work. They taught me a lot of what I know and helped get me through paramedic school and fire academy. I owe a lot to them. They have proven to be true brothers to me and I love them like family.
If there's anything else you want to know, hit me up!
I decided to join the local department's explorer program my sophomore year of high school with my best friend. I fell in love. There are so many aspects of the emergency field that appeal to me with what I want to do with my life. Getting to help people. Feeling the rush of adrenaline when tones drop. Having to think on your feet. This is definitely a life's passion for me!
same thing just got out of my EMT-P class... we prticed sticks today.. it was fun but i got stuck wit some dumb ass rockie it took him 3 times to get it in... and i have good vains....
cool...i pased the praticals today and the writen is on wed..... it was a lot easyer than i thought it was gonna be but i havent takin the writen yet so well see.... good luck on the 9th.
yeah i took it wed it was pretty hard but i think i passed i wont know untill mon or tue... i know the state fire marshal so it will be a quick turn around.... my test was a lot of scenario stuff but iam sure that urs will be different.. good luck iam sure if you did good on the chap. tests ull do good on the writen.
cool... well i know how gettin locked up is when i took my skills testing for Basic i could not rember fore the life of me the correct way to package a pt ... its something ive done a million times in real life and i even did it 2 days later but for what ever reason i got locked up... it happens to the best of us.. well we worked a 4 alarm commercial fire last night that was pretty cool... no one got hurt thats a pluss well ttly
