The main reason for doing any sort of sponsored schooling is solely due to the fact that I wouldn't be able to afford medic school on my own. I was considering loans (i've never had one) and that will probably end up being the route I go anyways. Thanks for the insight!

Forgive me if this has been address but i was unable to find it in a search.... I lost my wallet and in it was my NREMT card which i need for applying to jobs and whatnot. I poked around the NR website and couldn't really find anything regarding a re-issuing process. Anyone know I could go...

I have been debating on if i wanted to pursuit a paramedic career or not. Within the next two years i will be moving to seattle, wa and was looking at programs up there. I found one through UW and it mentioned something about the tuition being covered by a sponsoring agency. Does anyone know...

Are you currently working as an emt in SB???

wow, quick response! Yes, knowing a few medics myself i can understand why one would be inclined to tell me that medic would be the next step. But i do not think i want to as involved as medic school yet, as i am only 20 years old and still a full time student.

I've been considering taking the next step in my EMT education and cant seem to find any usable resources for finding a school in my area to start my EMT intermediate training. Does anyone know of a good online resource to find schools or even schools in my area(Southern California) that are...
