  3. Welcome to the group, Bob! It is nice to have you. Good luck in your last weeks of school. Be Safe, Shannon
  4. ROFLMAO! You guys crack me up! I was speaking on the grounds of using font and color I can see because I had to squint to see the bright blue and small font from the previous posts..Thanks Spenac for covering me and making it MUCH BIGGER! I don't hate on anyone in chat ..so that obiviously doesn't pertain to me, lol I guess it doesn't matter what your age is if you are here to learn about a field of study that interests you then I hope you will get to know some ppl that will supply you with the needed information and be content in what you are told or learn. We all had to start someplace and that is talking to others and learning... That is the way life goes.. you live and learn. Be Blessed & Be Safe out there, Shannon ** Age is just a number**
  5. That is not nice :shock: Please type in font and color that I can read because in my age I have to make more of an effort to read it, lol!
  6. Welcome to the group all that have posted since I last did. I am sure you will find some information here at the CITY that will help you along the road you may be traveling or the studies you are currently partaking in. I am Shannon and I work in the medical field at a doctor's office..I have for the last 6 years and prior to that I worked at the hospital level in patient care. I am now currently 1 month into EMT courses here locally and love it thus far...I am ready for a change in my life and have always felt that being an EMT then onto Paramedic is my lifeblood..I cannot wait to be able to know I am helping others in a time of need. I wish each of the the best and always remember... Be Blessed and Be Safe, Shannon
  7. Very, Very well spoken, Paul! I do not have even a fraction of experience as most of the members here, but I have studied the pay and benefits of being an EMT and granted it is not a career done for the money, but for the fact that you know you are saving someone's life, bettering them when they are in a time of need and that you do what you do in the field because it is in you heart and it is your lifeblood..I am a very firm believer that it takes a special person to work in the medical field and I have loved every minute of mine working at the hospital level and now at the medical office level and I cannot wait to be able to get through EMT school and be out on the streets sharing my morals and values and being help to those out there as well. Thanks for your caring thoughts. Be Blessed and Be safe, Shannon
  8. Excellent words of encouragment, AMESEMT! [/font:2e3fa4d408]
  9. [align=center:7c2b2da13c]you know how much I love useless information [/align:7c2b2da13c] Subject: Trivia: The human body is a machine that is full of wonder. This collection of human body facts will leave you wondering why in the heck we were designed the way we were. -Scientists say the higher your I.Q. The more you dream. -The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm. -You use 200 muscles to take one step. -The average woman is 5 inches shorter than the average man. -Your big toes have two bones each while the rest have three. -A pair of human feet contain 250,000 sweat glands. -A full bladder is roughly the size of a soft ball. -The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razor blades. -The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. -It takes food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach. -The average human dream lasts 2-3 seconds. -Men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver than men with hair. -At the moment of conception, you spent about half an hour as a single cell. -There is about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet. -Your body gives off enough heat in 30 minutes to bring half a gallon of water to a boil. -The enamel in your teeth is the hardest substance in your body. -Your teeth start developing (in your gums) 6 months before you are born. -When you are looking at someone you love, your pupils dilate, they do the same when you are looking at someone you hate. -Blondes have more hair than dark-haired people. -Your thumb is the same length of your nose. At this very moment I know full well you are putting this last fact to the test...now remove your thumb from your nose and pass this on to the friends you think might be interested in comparing their thumbs to their noses as well ..
  10. A FIREMAN came home from work one day and told his wife, "You know, we have a wonderful system at the fire station: BELL 1 rings and we all put on our jackets, BELL 2 rings and we all slide down the pole, BELL 3 rings and we're on the fire truck ready to go. "From now on when I say BELL 1 I want you to strip naked. When I say BELL 2 I want you to jump in bed. And when I say BELL 3 we are going to make love all night. " The next night he came home from work and yelled " BELL 1!" The wife promptly took all her clothes off. When he yelled "BELL 2!", the wife jumped into bed. When he yelled "BELL 3!", they began making love. After a few minutes the wife yelled "BELL 4!" "What the hell is BELL 4?" asked the husband? "ROLL OUT MORE HOSE," she replied " YOU'RE NOWHERE NEAR THE FIRE."
  11. First and foremost..welcome to "The City"....there are several warm ppl here whom will welcome with open arms as well. I am here to say I am not far behind you when it comes to being new..Infact I have just began EMT courses to get my EMT-b...I have however worked in the medical field for 8 years this coming october. I have done urgent care, occupational care, family practice, I worked at the hospital level on acute care and sub-acute care with geriatrics. I now work at a doctor's office in patient care at a family practice/alternative medicine facility. I love my job, I love the health care, I love knowing I am there to help when ppl are in need and don't feel well. I have always wanted to be an EMT for numerous years..when I really knew it was where my lifeblood was at was when my mother passed away 14 years ago and up until her death I took care of her..she was a brittle diabetic and on kidney dialysis..died at the age of 34, BUT NOT to ramble.. I knew a very long time ago that being an EMT and onto my EMT-P I wanted to do just that, I have taken a long road to get there because now I am 30 and just now pursuing the field, but I feel I am educated and have been through college and numerous medical training and I have worked in ER as a volunteer and etc... SO my main concern for all this typing is to make sure you get your education...it is the most important, and further more if you know this is what you want to do then don't give up on your goals, desires and dreams. There will be days that we are tested and feel intimidated by others, but don't let that put a damper on your outlook of what you want to do..I know that I to will have those days once I get out there on the ambulance, but I feel I am very outspoken so if there is something I want to discuss that I don't feel comfortable with I intend to speak with my partner when time permits. I also am a very outspoken person so I am sure or I HOPE to be able to do just fine in giving the care that is needed to our patient's with my partner(s)..but I do wish you the best of luck, don't give up, keep your head up, get your education and go for it. If you need anything that I may be able to help with feel free to drop me a line. Be Blessed, Shannon
  12. Welcome to the site, freak! It's nice to have you with us. Get comfy and check out the place and maybe join us in chat if you want to. Take care and be safe. Be Blessed, Shannon
  13. I agree with Paul..I am just now getting into the EMT courses, but have studied up on the various rates of pay in different areas and at this very moment I make more now working at the hospital in patient care than I will make being an EMT in the NW part of Missouri..I had studied areas in Arizona and its a bit more, but not much! I know for a fact that I am very excited to finally be going to school for EMT and I love working in the medical field as is, but I feel being an EMT is what my lifeblood and calling is and a very positive passion and I wish I had gotten into it earlier, but have enjoyed what I do now being a tech in a doctor's office, but it does suck that putting our lives on the line for those in need that we will and do make less than most of the other professions in the med field. I wish you the best of luck and everyone be safe out there. Be Blessed, Shannon
  14. Welcome Gerred! I am sure you will do the best you can do and get into the Paramedic school this fall. I have family that live in Denver. Nice to meet you and see you on the boards or if you come join us in chat.
