Intro …
Brandy’s Intro: I am the wife of YouTube personality Iraqveteran8888, I am also a managing partner for Ballistic Ink. Blah blah….
Why do you want to become an EMT? I have always had a passion for helping people and a love of the structure and function of the human body (I took college Anatomy and Physiology in high school as an elective – lol). I originally wanted a career in the medical field, but my life took a curve and I ended up doing Accounting and Business Management. With the current political climate being a bit turbulent, I felt like it was time for some formal training.
Side note – While at orientation today, the instructor was discussing the high probability of getting a job upon completion of the course. I mentioned that I was not there to get a job, that I was there just for knowledge. The discussion then turned to what did I do for a living and our YouTube page was mentioned. I immediately had to new friends – two young men that have recently graduated high school are viewers of the channel and seemed to be pretty happy that they were going to get to go to school with “ERIC’S WIFE!”
Different levels: EMT Basic, Advanced, Paramedic
My plan is to complete the EMS Professions Diploma. I was informed we would be required to do clinicals in an Ambulance and at the ER. I have introductory and advanced EMT classes (42 credit hours). The Paramedic is a much more advanced and in depth course (58 credit hours) – most of which are not covered in the EMS Professions course of study.
