Thank you for your reply. I take a special bus for disabled people that takes you to and from your destination so it's not public transportation. I will be taking the EMT course but it's through an ambulance company. So I just report to the ambulance company that's it.

Hello I apologize if this is a stupid question but I don't have a car and won't be able to afford one until after I become a Paramedic. My question is do I need a car for Paramedic school? I'll be taking the bus to get around. How does college work? Do you meet at class and then the next day...

nah I think i'll pass on nursing. changed my mind. i thought the paper said you have to be working as a EMT in order to get a job as a paramedic??
