Why not just go to medic?

Because I'm going to do the thing alot of people say not to. I'm gonna spend 2 years on an ALS rig running 911 calls before I start medic school. So that will put me as a 21 y/o in medic school.

Well whatever works for you. And 21 is a good age to start that.

But I wouldnt waste time with I/AEMT. Take chem or anatomy.

Every single ALS car is available right now. This has never happened on a day I've worked...

Not gonna lie, I'm a little scared right now...

From when I got on shift at 8am yesterday, till 3 hours later at 11am, we were at level 0, with nearly 35 trucks out on the road running calls, and generally 5 calls holding.


It sucked.

How hard are they to get into at MSJC? Maybe go through an anatomny and a separate physiology class separately there? Spring semester starts soon.

That awkward moment when you hop out of the rig after your soda explodes all over your pants...

I've heard all the programs are really hard to get into right now. All the nursing students are on a wait list so they are retaking science courses.

Not to nitpick but I don't see why they are seen by so many people as a waste of time.

Sure it probably has something to do with me being an I but in all honesty already knowing how to do IVs/IOs, basic rhythm interp, basic cardiac/arrest meds, intubation as well as a few other IV medications made the beginning of medic school much easier. There are for I's in my class all the rest are B's. They consistently struggled in the early months of our program with skills.

Sure CA may not recognize it but personally I think it's a great leg up during medic school.

Very good news from work today. Reaffirmed my decision to stay where I'm at.

OTOH, y'all might be seeing less of me around here for the next couple of months.

Well if it is a money issue and the county doesnt even recognize it then why do it?

If you had spare money, time, and could use it then i wouldnt consider it a waste.

But i think a&p would be more beneficial.
