Hello EMS goers.. I am currently a student pursuing my associates degree in EMS and at the end of this fall I will be a certified EMT (assuming all goes well). My plan is to start paramedic school in the spring, and I currently have the general education courses and elective component that are the finishing requirements of the associates degree I am studying. I chose a career in EMS not for the money but because I want the reward and challenges that come with a pre hospital setting. Throughout most of high school I had always dreamt of being a Registered Nurse but as I have come to realize I feel much more suited in emergency care in the field as opposed to patient care in a medical (Hospital) setting. The questions that I have for you seasoned veterans out there are as follows: 1. Why did you choose a career in EMS? 2. Do you regret anything in your career, from an educational stand point? 3. What kind of opportunities are out there for specializing as a EMT-P? Thank you everyone
