>How you got it
I actually started out as an EMT-B, then got my EMT-P and started working in the ER at a university hospital as a tech.
Since I was working 12 hour shifts, I worked on weekends and went to school full time during the week. Since I was also a full time employee of the university, half my classes were paid for. Pretty sweet gig.
Anyway, I got my BS in health promotion and took the CHES (certified health education specialist) exam. I have a few other minor certifications on top of it (certified diabetes educator, certified weight management coach, certified addiction treatment counselor, etc.) that my employer paid for over the years.
To make a long story short, I see patients whose shitty lifestyles got them put in the hospital, and educate them on how to not fuck their body up anymore and get back to normal.
