A noble cause. Doesn't quite help me though. Would still love to hear about your experience if you ever change your mind.

That being said, do you have any relatable experience with the particular school in question? Or is your opposition based solely on the fact that it is a private entity?

Thank you for your advice, I will give it some thought. I will definitely never say any organization is the best... no program is perfect. It really does all come down to the educational facility that will allow me to keep my day job while I learn. Gotta work to eat. If I am able to get a job...

I chose OMI for EMT because they have Saturday only classes; Valencia and Seminole do not. I work mon-fri 7-430. Who knows how long I will wait after EMT to get a job, so I prefer the flexible schedule that private schools offer, tho I agree with u that they can be money grubbing at times, I...

Honestly I did not know one could get a degree in the ems field! I already have my bachelor's in another field, so frankly I am not interested in spending that much more time in school. This is a career change for me.

I am halfway through my emt course at OMI, but I'm researching other options for medic after I graduate. Has anyone here heard any good things about First Response Training Group in Orlando? Looks like they have an online hybrid course that I'm interested in. Any feedback is welcome.

thx for the info. I'm definitely fortunate to have a spouse who makes enough to support us both...it was the future family I was thinking of :) if I can be an EMT and work 50 hrs, I'd be happy I think. Granted I like the clinicals that start on Sunday :p

Thank u for your reply. Do you mind my asking, are you in a fire station? Inter hospital or something else? I could def do 45 or even 50 hrs a week not much worry with that.

so I am currently nearing the midpoint of my EMT class. I've been making great money in the insurance industry for 2 years, but I've started this Saturday only program since A. I've always wanted to do this and B. I'm done sitting behind a desk all day. I'm starting to feel very torn tho, and...
