I chose to pursue the program because it was an awesome opportunity to better myself. It was challenging, but it was paid training to pursue a new career with a better work schedule and better work-life balance.

I was always interested in a career in which I would be able to help the community. I was raised to appreciate the importance of community service.

I think it was fascinating to learn in detail how the human body works. I have also found it cool that with additional training it opens the door for many more opportunities within the medical field.

My favorite and the most exciting aspect of the program was succeeding by passing the National Registry EMT exam and starting to apply the things I learned in the real world.

A typical day for me at work is very busy, nonstop, but very rewarding. I am seeing a lot of improvement in my patient care and computer skills as well. Every patient transport involves completing an electronic patient care report.

I would tell others that are considering going through the program that it is well worth your while if you feel as though you are interested. You will definitely have to apply yourself in order to be successful.
