    So, I hit a dog yesterday.

    *comforts you* That's horrible, ugh. :( well it doesn't sound like there was any way you could have avoided that, I hate it when stuff like that happens.

    Questions About EMT/Firefighting

    Ahhh k....I'll have to investigate Davis a little more then and find out about that. Screw going to a university if the TA's are the ones teaching and there's 300 people in the upper division classes.

    Questions About EMT/Firefighting

    Not that it really matters worth a damn, but out of curiosity, aren't the 300-people classes (IE the huge lecture hall ones) only the lower division classes? I was under the impression that class size for upper division classes was closer to around 30. By the way Guardian, the CC sticker is...

    Questions About EMT/Firefighting

    This is pretty much my thoughts on the matter. I think some people do find college fun, but more often than not, they're taking a bull:censored::censored::censored::censored: degree or they're barely passing with a 2.0 GPA because they're out getting wasted/stoned/etc. constantly. College sucks...

    Questions About EMT/Firefighting

    Actually, I think what Matt meant was to stay in 4-year college until you're sure that you want to quit and go back to a CC since the most you can get at a CC is an associate degree instead of the bachelor degree you would get at a university. I would imagine if you ever did want to go back to a...

    Questions About EMT/Firefighting

    Strange that it's a full-length course if it's only 8 weeks, huh. Well, my friend said NCTI is one of the best so if it's by them then it has to be good. EyeOn, it depends on the school, generally they should be able to tell you what their pre-reqs as far as BLS goes. At my school, you have...

    Questions About EMT/Firefighting

    Basically, the pre-reqs for a paramedic program can range from a few classes to a year worth of classes. The paramedic program itself, most of them anyway, are a year long. And if my friend's experiences are any indication, medic school is hard as hell. I'm not too sure as to how good...

    Questions About EMT/Firefighting

    Well, seeing as I live in California I can offer a few parcels of information on this. Firstly though, what university are you attending? Because if it's a UC, a private one, etc. that is hard to get into, I would give it an extreme amount of thought before walking away since you can still be an...

    EMT-B or not?

    Ahh ok...well that makes sense since I did read somewhere that 8 units per semester is considered full-time for graduate work. That's curious to know about the physicians not having bachelors...I've heard from essentially everyone that a bachelor degree is required by most medical schools...

    EMT-B or not?

    Well, if I were doing something like that, I'd probably be far more interested in it too EyeOn...my disinterest comes from doing math I could care less about, lol. If I was doing biology, science research, etc. like yourself I'd probably be having a blast. :) A master's is usually only one year...

    EMT-B or not?

    Funny thing is I'm kinda going through the same thing right now as far as the EMS bug goes...the more I read about EMTs & medics, the less interested I am in being a doctor and the more interested I become in being a flight medic...I think it's safe to say that years upon years of college just...

    UK EMS Crews Busy with Squeamish 'Saw III' Viewers

    I dunno, I can kinda see where they're coming from. Copious amounts of blood, decapitation, amputation, etc. doesn't bother me but for some reason seeing an exposed brain in Saw III did...don't think I'll be a brain surgeon anytime soon. B)

    UK EMS Crews Busy with Squeamish 'Saw III' Viewers

    Well I guess I don't feel so retarded now for fainting after getting up to take a leak and waking up on the floor. Damn head still hurts though. :P

    I hate seagulls.

    I'm with Guardian, shotgun definitely.

    Nursing school

    Sounds like you should be dogging on her instead of nurses then....and trust me I know the feeling, I've dealt with a nursing student before and she was a complete *expletive*. :rolleyes:

    BLS paper

    Out of curiosity, is it normal for an EMT-B course to have a certain writing requirement such as writing papers? The only reason I ask is because as it is I'll be writing a good amount of lab reports for botany and zoology next semester and I'd like to know if I'm going to be even more miserable...

    That's the coolest EMS rig I've seen yet, haha.
