State of Indiana My vision is correctable to 20/20 in one eye, but the doc said the other was 2100. Had a visit to any eye doctor this year, & he said my vision was good enough to enlist in the army.

I was getting a physical on Sunday so I could start doing my clinicals for Emt-B class. The Doc asked me if there was a vision requirement outside of a standard drivers liscense to drive an Ambulance. That got me wondering is there a special vision requirement for driving an ambulance? or...

How serous would you take an Emt-b class? If you could retake the chapter tests till you get 100% & the work book answer were all in the back. & this totalled for about 75% of your grade. & you only have to get 80% to pass the class. & they mainly focus on the Skill Sheets for State Practicals...

Brown I was asking for things that would be a good certs for an emt-b. A list of college classes was not requested. Enough of that advice was given in another thread. In the State of Indiana Emt-b are not allowed to perform EKG`s let alone read them. We`re not even allowed to use Glucose...

Thanks for all the Information. I`ll start checking into the stuff. ^^

Checked my notes its not ACLS its ATLS Advance Trauma Life Support

Paramedics not an option for a few years do to the program structure in my area.

Just wondering what other Certs should an Emt-b get to make the resume look better? I`m just an Emt-B student currently. I`m taking a ACLS course that my instructors recomended. They said if you don`t have that AMR won`t even consider your application as a new Emt. Any other recommendations...

Not that 2 yrs is not a problem. Its more like 4 yrs is a problem. Funny, thing is if I was to run off & get Emt-P cert in Texas. I could come back to Indiana, & take the 6 general courses & get a ASN in Paramedic Science. The process they have hear is your required to get all the general...

My motive is I don`t want to take 4 yrs to get from point A to B if it can be done in 2 yrs. Working full-time & going to school full-time puts a serous strain on family, marriage, & me. Surving 2 yrs is doable, but 4 is iffy. Getting a degree is not important. What is important is getting the...

Going to a tradional school means its a 4 year process for me. I have to take a few refresher courses, & then the pre-requist class which will take 2 yrs. Intro to College Writing II English Composition A&P I A&P II In that order before I can even enter into the paramedic program which...

I`m taking Emt-B class atm at community college. However, after I get done with the class have 2yrs of pre-requists, & then 2yrs of Paramedic class to take to become EMT-P in the state of Indiana. I was looking into Alternatives to this. A guy at work recomended trainning divsion .com. He was...

Hi, I`m going to be starting EMT-B class in a month, as well as Fundmentals of Algebra. Together there 12.5 credits for the semister. After these are done its time to work on pre-requists for the Paramedic program. Is there anything I can start doing now to get ready for EMT-B class? & is...

Have had the doctors visit Should have said, before this post I have had doctors visit. He rans all sorts of test. Found nothing wrong with me other than being considered morbidily obese, & high blood pressure. He also noted that I`m also a large frame. He basically said I`m in no danger...

There are few things that I need to get taken care of before becoming a Paramedic. Physically, I`m at 340 lbs at 6' tall. This is a major hurdle to overcome for me. I also have high bloodpressure. I`m in my 30`s & was a professional coach potatoe. What should I do start loosing weight, & get in...

They have tuition reimbursement program. They have another program that pays you x number of of hours equal to those of actually class time. However, you have to sell your soul to the hospital via contract, & the devil. EMS, & Paramedic services are both outsourced to. I guess I need to...

Right now I`m bouncing between the idea of LPN, & Paramedic. First I wanted to try being a Tech, & then maybe LPN to see if nursing was the right thing for me. Right now I`m not all that big on being a Nurse anymore. Just trying to figure out what I want to do with my life at this point. I...

Thanks for the advice. Reason for LPN over RN is I`m a little hard headed. & takes me awhile to learn things. I was wondering about EMT-B because I hear code Blue called so often its not funny. As a tech all I can do is run a fetch things. Sure they train us in CPR, but we really never help...

Presently, I work in Ortho/Med unit as a PCA(Tech). Which has the glorius job duties of wiping butts, turning patents, taking vitals, Cathing ppl, EKG`s, Enemas, & other varours minor things. I`ve only been a Tech for about 2 1/2 months. I was wondering do you think I could benefit from...
