Alright, quick question. I'm weighing my options at this current moment. I'm already enrolled in a EMT-B fast track course for this summer and plan to work part-time while being a full-time student at a university. I was wondering if once completing the EMT-B course...whether I can pursue other options as well...such as being a flobotomist...or such. Or do I have to take a different course to be a phlebotomist? What are some other options that people with EMT-B certification do. Also, is there a separate course to become a EMT-I? I know for paramedic, it is a very extensive course but I was wondering for the Intermediate EMT.
Alright, one last question and I apologize for being so verbose but stay with me: I'm taking this EMT-B course in Oklahoma...and my university will be in the state of Illinois and I plan on working at a hospital in Illinois...is that okay? I'm pretty sure the certification is nationwide so it'll be okay. If anyone can answer some or all of these questions, I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Just as a side note, people may be wondering...why even take EMT course if I'm not even planning being an EMT...well, its simple. I do want to be an EMT but I wasn't sure if there actually is a very flexible and part-time schedule for an EMT...i don't want to jeopardize my school grades because of work...since I am pre-med. If being something else during the school year and perhaps switching to full-time during summer break..that would be great.
