Congratulations.
Now put your training to use confidently. It's great for EMS when they show up on a scene and PD is actually doing CPR or can help the first EMS crew setup while additional resources (c-spine, cricoid pressure, BVM, moving/loading, getting medical history from family) or at least understands our needs on-scene and helps us out indirectly (clearing space for gurney, leaving an out for the ambulance, etc)

+1! We love the PD, even when they aren't EMT's, ours always step up to the plate and help out.

Thanks guys, I truly hope to be more of a benefit than a hindrance when EMS shows up when I'm on the LE job. I definitely already look at some situations a bit differently due to the training I've received, not to mention which my dispatcher will consistently send me out on any medical call over all the others! LOL

I also hope to gain some experience by getting a part-time job as an EMT (along with earning a little extra $$).

But for right now, I'm just going to enjoy NOT having to go to school two nights a week and the occasional weekend! Spend some time enjoying my family too. Plus, I'm gonna keep the studying going, although at a reduced rate, so I'm good for the state exam.

Man, good thing you posted that after I had already passed!! :D

I would have really hated to leave RP had I failed a test that wasn't even LE related!! LOL

HAHA! Congrats on passing!

Though I'm sure it was nothing for you. ;)
