Update.... Starting to really suck! lol I love what I'm doing but I am waaaaaaaay hating life right now. I feel like i'm just not getting it. I'm doing well on the tests/exams...holding a B average...but I just feel like I'm not retaining the information....Got our drug list to memorize. 5-7...

LOL Thanks. I'm assuming it'll all come together....I hope!! HAHAHA We are a class of 19 and pretty much everyone feels the same. I think I heard that as a class we are all pretty close grade-wise so that's cool. There's two smarty pants guys already. One's smart but humble...and the other is...

Well....I'm almost a month in and damn. A&P is wooooooooowza! :wacko: For someone who got his GED and didn't get any sciences...this is a lot to take in all at once and at such a fast pace! But I'm enjoying it. Sometimes it feels like I'm reading english but then it invariably turns into...

CONGRATS! How was your first day?!?!?!?!?! I started last Monday and it waaaaaassssss ROUGH! Death by Powerpoint!!! Oh my goodness! I thought my medic friends were joking when they said to drink like 5 monters/rockstars before class. After STRUGGLING through it I know why! LOL But I'm enjoying...

Well...I'm taking the leap! Got my letter of acceptance to start the 2013 Paramedic class!!! So excited and nervous! I hear this particular college's program is pretty hard but their 1st time NREMT-P pass rate is pretty high! I'm sure I'll be on here frequently with questions or rants! bahahaha...

ME TOOO!!!! I used to live near Santa Rosa and am now down near Fresno and would love to get back there!!! <_<

As for best paying medic jobs I cant help. But as a basic I have my "Dream" medic schools I wish I could afford to go to. Both have BS in EMS with the Medic cert included. They are: First choice is Kings County in WA. I've had this program recommended to me because of its high standards and...

First...Welcome!! (-: As for advice...study, ask questions, but have fun! If you want to work as a medical assistant...that's a separate course. If you want to work in an ER, your EMT cert will help. You'll probably also want a Phlebotomy cert too. Make u more desirable/useable. As for the...

Apparently tonight I post every where but my station! Errrrr. Lol

SFFD also has a separate EMS devision.

I ended up grabbing some Zzzzz's. I
