Medic Up! Episode #6 – Shawn W. – 2017 Paramedic Graduate & Me

Medic Up!

This week is the final week of the “Recent Paramedic Graduate” or whatever I’ve been calling it week-to-week series. I hope you’ve enjoyed listening to these guys and girls as they shared their experiences from medic school and their first few years in the career field.

Shawn stopped by the Medic Up! studios to talk about being a “Baby Medic” who actually has a paramedic card that he has to be  careful with because the ink is still wet. This guy literally walked down the aisle to graduate 100 days prior to recording this episode.

This is probably one of  my favorite episodes to date which is mostly due to the openness and sincerity that Shawn brought to the episode. I have no doubt that Shawn is going to get a lot out of his career choice because it is evident how much he is willing t put into it. If you’re a student going through school I am sure you can relate to much of what Shawn talks about.

Thank you, guys, for listening. We passed 1,000 downloads this past week which is 999 more than I thought that I’d ever get. If you keep listening, I’ll keep creating.

I am always open to suggestions as to what or who you want to hear. Contact Medic Up! by leaving a comment or messaging us on Facebook by searching for @Medic.Up.Podcast.

Medic Up! Podcast Episode #5 – Kirstin (Not Kristen) 2012 Paramedic Graduate

Medic Up!

Kirstin (not Kristen) is the EMS Veteran of the group having just completed her 5th year in EMS practice. She sits down to share some insights of being a very young student  paramedic with very little life experience, progressing through paramedic school and being a new medic in a busy system. She started EMT school, taking the “Zero – to – Hero” route right out of high school and becoming a medic at 20 years old; effectively putting her in a position where she can administer narcotics but not buy a drink at the bar!

We talk about mentors, waiting 5 years to cardiovert a patient in the field, goal setting to  progress though an EMS career and that stomach butterfly / flip-flop thing when the tones drop.

If you’ve been listening to the series I think you can easily draw parallels between each of these “new” medics who shared similar experiences coming up in EMS. I think you can hear the difference between the 2 year medic vs the 5 year medic.  In the next and final episode in the “Recent Paramedic Graduate” series we will hear from a brand – spanking – new paramedic in the middle of his survival year. He’s straight forward and honest about his journey and I know you guys will dig it. Stick around!

Medic Up! Podcast Episode 4: O.B. – 2015 Paramedic Graduate & Me

Medic Up!

Welcome back boys and girls to the Medic Up! podcast. This week continues with the 3rd installment where I sit down with some of my former students who are now practicing paramedics to get their thoughts on making the transition from paramedic student to prehospital clinician.

O.B. stopped by this week to hang out for close to an hour. He’s a 2015 graduate but he just recently got his NRP certification. O.B. is the picture of persistence! He didn’t give up, he put in the work and he earned that disco patch statistically beating the odds and I couldn’t be more proud of this dude!

Thank you to everyone who has listened, downloaded, liked, shared, reviewed and sent me texts and PM’s. This thing is taking off way faster than I could have imagined. Subscribe on iTunes or Google Play Music. Search for Medic Up! on your favorite podcast app.

One, maybe two more weeks of former paramedic students and then we’re going to switch gears and hit some fun topics with some really awesome people. Stick around!

Thanks for listening.
