I have a friend who has a small business that does billing for emergency services. He fell into it naturally after he was the Chief at a rescue squad for years, and took on the job there. It evolved into a business on his own, and he’s successfully run that business for quite a few years.
I spent some time with a rescue squad as an EMT, and also spent 2 years as a 911 operator awhile back. I loved being involved with a rescue squad, and the satisfaction was overwhelming at times. To know that you helped people in need was a great feeling. It’s never boring, because every call you respond to is something different, a different situation and different people.
Many people ask how you can do jobs like this, and it’s hard to explain that your professional manner just comes over you when you see bad situations. You’re doing a job, and you have focus. Your focus is on helping people.
The National Paramedic Institute offers online EMT training, and many more classes for continuing education. If you’re looking to expand your learning process or need CEUs, you may want to check them out. The offer AIDS training, streaming video along with so many other courses for First Responders, EMTs and Paramedics. Be sure to check out their full line of courses. Being able to get online CEUs can really help you save time, while getting the valuable information that you need.
Be sure to check out the section which shows what magazines had to say about them. There’s one article in particular I want you to pay attention to. In EMS Magazine, a 23 year veteran EMT and Paramedic speaks to you. Take it from someone who works the career and in the field to show you if you can still learn from an online CEU class. Let’s face it, when you have a case based incident, it helps you understand what needs to be done at the right time. When you’re in the EMS field, time is critical!
It is a very plain and simple website, so don’t judge it based on that. It’s a site that offers information that you can USE! Looking at their site with a designer’s eye, I hope they do brush it up just a bit, because people will judge them based on their simple design. They are offering important information if you’re in the EMS field.
