As an EMT you have to be able to stay calm under intense pressure, but you have to be quick in getting to the victim and giving the right care, and also you have to have the right personality to be an EMT if you are stuck up and have a rude attitude then an EMT in not the job for you.

3 different attributes for EMT are communication skills, time management, and teamwork. When it comes to communication skills and delivering to other people, I make sure to make sure to give out clear, quick commands to other people and make sure it is also delivered to other people if it needs to be. As well, I have a complete understanding and completion of any command that could be given to me. Time management is key to being able to move quickly and be able to take care of things in a quick matter. When it comes to me being able to managing time and assessing things, i am able to balance my school life. Like making sure things for school become finished and assessed first and then anything after comes next. What's most important comes
Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act of 1998 (EMTALA), health providers by law are supposed to follow the federal guidelines and the EMTALA when you work in an emergency medical care at certain hospitals (facilities that participate in Medicare-includes 98% of hospitals in the United States (U.S.)). This also means that any part of the hospital that can perform an evaluation and treatment of EMC is considered an ED., for example, a women's hospital that delivers babies is subject to EMTALA. As a health care professional under this law, you have to make sure that every person entering a hospital in need or requesting receives a medical screening examination (MSE), and an emergency medical condition (EMC) evaluation to determine
As a M.E you are able to do autopsies on the body to collect evidence or factors that might have contributed to the death(www.learningpath.org). I love how corpses have to be open for examination of the organs and body. I'm not intimidated to see, cut, touch, or pull apart flesh. The inside of the human body excites me. I fell in love with the career due to tv shows I watched. That's how I got intrigued to learn
There are several reasons why I can say I would like to become a respiratory therapist, the respect that respiratory practitioner receive, the importance and the involvement that respiratory care has in patient care, for one day I will be working with all kinds of patients, from peds to the elderly, from subacute patients to the critically ill. I also enjoy seeing a patient who was under my care in the intensive care unit (ICU), now being discharged and knowing that I played a part in the patient’s ability to go home. The knowledge and the way a respiratory care practitioner can critically think in stressful times. I'm a kind of person that get involved, take the initiative and set the pace to accomplish what needs to be done.The final reason I can think of right now is that I'd like to be a part of the healthcare team providing care to patients. RT’s work with nurses, physicians, and other healthcare staff to decide what is best for the patient. Respiratory therapy seems to be a pretty good profession for me. I’m a hard
My decision to pursue a career as an Anesthesiology Assistant is hinged on three factors; first, a desire to advance in the healthcare sector and be able to take up higher responsibilities in patient care; secondly, an intentional process of building a healthcare career that would be personally fulfilling and rewarding; and thirdly, embarking on a career path that will enable me to integrate my prior education, experiences and skills, and use them as a backdrop for effective care delivery. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology. I undertook studies in this area because I had always had a deep-seated desire to help people recover from adverse situations. At the same time, I trained and work as a medical assistant, which has enabled me to have a lot of patient contact. Based on my knowledge of psychology and my clinical experiences, I began to explore career advancement options
I knew I wanted to work with people; I wanted further involvement, I wanted to see the results of my hard work, I wanted to make a difference in others lives. I went back to school to become a Surgical Technologist. As a student, I accepted a job at the hospital I interned at. After being in the operating room all day, I constantly was asking to stay late to finish a case or help with whatever needed to be done. I fell in love right away with this new profession.
The skills needed to be employed are to be sure you can work at a fast and high stressed level. To be able to perform patient vital signs, talk to parents and record patient history, perform EKGs and other tests, obtain accurate patient information needed for diagnosis and treatment, work with other medical staff and non-medical personnel, communicate with other medical service providers, and to educate patients about procedures or
Exercise Science is a field of work that is valued by many. There are different paths for different kind of people whether they are interested in personal training, physical therapy, or even some kind of sports coach. The route I would like to take would be Exercise Science for Athletic Training. I want to be an Athletic Trainer because growing up, I loved playing and watching sports. I played baseball for about 2 years, ran track for 3, and played basketball my entire life. After my high school career, I knew that I could not stay involved in sports because all of the injuries I have experienced so I decided I wanted a job that is behind the scenes but still rooted in athletics.
I have been exposed to the medical field my whole life. My Mom was a nurse and I would love to listen to the stories she told about her time in the hospital. If anybody asked me at the age of five what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would say “a nurse like my mom.” A few years later I decided I wanted to be a doctor from the few times I got to watch the television show “ER”. The beginning of my interest in physical therapy was when I met my fourth grade pen pal, Elmo, at a nursing home. Elmo had muscular dystrophy and only retained control of his right arm and pinky which allowed him to manouver his wheelchair. During one visit where we got to spend the whole day with our pals, the physical therapist at the nursing home came to see Elmo. I was allowed to stay and I remember thinking it was so cool that there was one person to help Elmo retain the little muscle tone and mobility he had left. In sixth grade, my class went to the hospital to sing Christmas caroles and I remember the coolest place being the physical therapy room. I thought it was amazing how patients were learning to walk again or throw a ball.
In 2005, Congress reauthorized the legislation for the NHTSA. Under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equality Act: A Legacy for Users or SAFETEA-LU, Congress then created the Federal Interagency Committee on Emergency Medical Services. The EMS system today is still a serious career that is competitive to get into. Medical Assistance is integrated into Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters, and anyone in public safety because it’s an honorable career and works to improve the safety of the community in which we live in.
It’s been my desire, longing for a nursing career since I was in my primary and secondary school. At the age of 12, I began to look after children and baby-sitting then, from there, I gained the understanding of how to deal with children. Nursing is one of the highly demanding careers that bring new challenges every day and it comes with various rewards and a real sense of job satisfaction. I chose nursing because it is a profession where you never really finish learning. It has been my dream job since my tender age. Seeing nurses visiting my school treating students, immunisation, teaching us about health and sexual health issues, this encouraged me. My goal and desire at that age have been to help people within the Health sector. That is how; I decided to go to college where I am currently doing my Access to Higher Education Diploma (Science), which involves Biology and Chemistry. I chose this pathway because I want to gain the relevant skills and knowledge of my career to be. As someone who wants to become a nurse, I found biology as an important role in the delivery of client car...
From a young age, I was drawn to the healthcare field, not because of the amount of money doctors, nurses and other health professionals made, but because of the dedication and contentment I saw on their faces helping someone in need. Growing up everyone wanted to become a doctor or a nurse and as a little child being a doctor or a nurse was a profession many parents wanted their child to pursue as a career. Needless to say, I fell into that category because I wanted too. However, that dream came to a halt.
The career field I am studying is anesthesiology. The reason I am studying anesthesiology is so I can learn about a possible future career field for me. I choose anesthesiology because it seems to be an interesting career choice. It seems like it would be cool to be one. That is the reason I am writing this paper to so if I would be interested in becoming an anesthesiologist.
