    Paramedic Program

    Good luck in your journey. I can't believe I'm only a month from being done with school. Some of these people on here can give you a lot better advice than I can, but at first school is going to seem like it's super easy. Just wait, it gets a lot harder, especially if you have a full time job as...

    What made you get into EMS?

    I got into it because I didn't have anything else to do. I didn't know anything about the job, and I thought it would just be something to get by at the time. I fell in love with it during EMT school, and now I'm about to be a paramedic, and have loved all of it.

    Medic Students!!!

    Yesterday was our first day of class. We watched some long drawn out history of EMS. Some of it was pretty interesting, but for the most part it was pretty boring. We start on airway stuff tomorrow, and I can't wait for the year to get going pretty good.

    Where is your gear?

    In our narc box, we have our Narcs, and IO. Our bag has airway/suction, intubation, iv supplies, drugs etc.. Everything is duplicated in the truck.
