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...
Application process consisted of the following: Application, Basic Math and English test, and written EMT test all on same day. Then they select who gets into the program. CCEMSA.org to get the number to call about the medic class. Next one should start in Jun/Jul I believe. As for teachers it's...
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...
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...
So I started my first day of FTO time with a medic unit and got my first taste of system status management...and....
Booooo lol I'm not dissing the dispatchers, they're just doing their jobs. But crap we did more posting than run calls! Lol I'm tired and I'm down to the last 7.5hrs of my 24. I'd...
I wear glasses myself. My vision isn't actually that bad. My prescription is just to sharpen things up, especially at night. I've thought about going to contact lenses so I don't have to carry around both my glasses and sunglasses(non prescription). What keeps me from going to contact lenses is...
Our system has "full body vacuum splint" which work very nicely. We call it the burrito bag...though don't call it that in your PCR!!! I didn't do that....my partner did! Lol ;)
