:) that is the greatest thing i have heard all week! David

i don't know if i missed this in previous posts, but if i did it's worth mentioning again....... don't worry about body weight. you will eventually see less overall weight loss when you start to lose and are exercising because you are adding muscle. it'll look like your fat loss is slowing...

s. i'm intensifying mine next week, it finally got hot and humid here in iowa, the best outside workout weather for me. keep the faith man, and keep up the workout motivation is the big one. don't get frustrated and break your diet. WILLPOWER baby! yeah! :ph34r: David

damn bud, are close to my stats as well. 6.3, 355. i used to be up at 420 before i started paying attention to that and my diabetes. i still a have a large body fat ratio that's gotta be reduced. but i'm working on it. lotsa diet and exercise here. not just fad dieting either, i've managed to...

heh. i'm actually enjoying the mental challenges so far. years of factory work had dulled my brain. that sounds a bit dramatic but it's how it felt. i'm motivated and i'm taking it one semester at a time, one day at a time. looking forward to tackling what's coming down the pipe. my EMT-B...

well next week is the last week of summer class and i'm pulling an A in my Essentials of A&P class. i see where it will be a good foundation to build on for A&P I. i'll be taking that inext spring, and most likely a biology and a chem class. assuming all goes well in EMT-B this fall of course...

at the nursing homes, they normally suggested always wear your gloves, wash your hands a lot, and surgical mask to prevent breathing, coughing, or blowing the cold virus all over everyone and every thing. don't know what, if any, procedures are in place where you work, but these sound...

so..... do you retake the class? challenge and retake the final? dave

hey zack, i'm starting my EMT-B this fall, and am taking Essentials of Anatomy and a couple of English Comp classes this summer. in the fall i'll be taking Med Terminology and EMT-B as well as Beginning Spanish. i don't know where you're at but we have a lot of Hispanic, mostly Mexican, folks...

guys i'm just starting my schooling, but let me tell you this has been a fascinating thread, especially in the informal education areas. thanks for being so candid. dave

good luck with that, i hope you get the chance! in our smaller town, i'll get the opportunity to do quite a bit of ride along while i'm in school. i did a few, years ago in a first responder class, and can't wait to get out there and get some experience and skills training. it won't be for a...

nice. i feel a bit better that i actually understood most of that. :D question, do you do a working diagnosis like that for the ER? if so, what do the Dr.'s think of these evaluations? now i'm getting very curious. dave

thanks, i think i'm going to do really well. i'm confident and motivated and i absorb info like a sponge. hopefully i can put it into practice as well! my basis for the original question was my first responder classes almost fifteen years ago. our teachers were all locals back home in my...

i'm in a compressed class. skeletal, muscle, and nervous systems over four days and taking a very basic test. i am only taking a Comp II class the second half of summer, so i figured i would go back and take my time to learn them, instead of just the cramming we're getting. between studying...
