@Kelly I think I do remember something about a lifting test, but my memory is not always the best. Here is my thinking (as someone who admittedly is new and does not know too much). To get the NREMT you have to pass the skills test which is the portion that you MUST be physically able to do the...

My degree is very close to to a pre-med degree it simply has the classes catered more towards what PA schools are looking for. Less general sciences and more health focused classes. It is a full 120 hour degree. I could still apply for med school with it if I wanted to, but I am just not...

The university I am attending actually has a pre-PA. The degree is technically called "health sciences pre-PA" It pretty close to pre-med, just a few small changes to be catered towards PA school. Slightly confused as to what you meant by this? As in you think I should still consider being a...

@MedicDelta I do have interest in EMS, however for working in the 3rd world I see a lot of value in being a PA. A little more rounded as most pts are not trauma/cardiac/abd pain etc.... Thanks though :-) @MedicTim Good points I don't want to stop going towards PA.. if I did do the AEMT it would...

Hello, So I have posted around a few times ;) So originally I got my EMT and only was able to do clinicals and volunteer work with hospitals or missions clinics. There was a lack of EMT job openings for me in MN so I recently moved to TN to pursue becoming a Physicians Assistant. I mostly am...

Sorry I never replied back.. Moved and got distracted by school ;) I went to clinic and found a nice woman showed her the piece of paper I needed signed and explained the predicament. She got me an appointment. I walked in with the Doc. MD: "what can I do for you?" Me: "I need to get this...

I got it resolved. Still was a headache :rofl:

Hello mates, I am in process of trying to get reciprocity with the state of Tenn. I have my EMSRB (MN EMT license) and my NREMT. The issue I am running into? The physical. The state of Tennessee of wants a Physician (or a PA or a nurse practitioner) to sign off that I am capable of...

Thanks so much for the info! This helps a lot, I did not think I would be able to find someone in the area! I called a few places a few days ago. I am starting work on reciprocity with TN and I am little confused as to IV. The service I talked to mainly (SouthEast) said they wanted IV...

Hey guys, So I will be moving from MSP to Clevelend, TN in a month. I have goals for the medical field. I would really love to do EMS work and as of yet in MSP that has not been a possibility. :sad: I am going to be working on pre-med and possibly after that PA school or Med school. I...

@STXmedic ok you got me :unsure: Anyways I will pick cycling back up... (my family is full of cycling maniacs) I even talked to an army friend today who agreed to go running with me (we have been meaning to hang out more anyways.) I am also thinking sprints are good idea? I will look...

So I finally got to the point (many pizza's later...) where I have decided it is time to cut back on the weight! I am 19 y/o, 5'5, and I weighed myself today at 215! (me having the appetite of a small whale and college cafeteria food seemed not to be a combination!) I am looking for a...

I would fall over too and see if other people play along... :rofl: or loudly announce "stay away from the caeser salad here... it's a real killer... exhibit A and I rest my case"... then go back to enjoying my dinner :P
