As someone who's been on the planet for more than 3 decades now, I can tell you it's also that people are just becoming more apathetic these days. It doesn't matter that at one time they needed help. "I got mines" is all they care about "Now leave me alone. Whatever." Take this as a...

Thanks, everyone. This puts my mind at ease. And firefite, as long as you wouldn't be making me do pullups along with that CPR, I'd relish the challenge. ;) Thanks!!

What's the first few weeks like physically in a normal 16 week semester (edit: for entry level EMT course with lab) where everything is spread out? Specifically, is there a lot of upper body work right away? I have a physical decision to make now or to postpone (nothing major, and I'm strong)...

Well, my point was not to make it a false dichotomy. My point is that both are true, and if one has its drawbacks, so does the other. The point about RCC is that it's no slouch of a program nor its requirements. My overall goal was to lend some insight into that so that those whose kneejerk...

Using the same philosophy, I'd think life experience can trump most young people's degrees insofar as being well-rounded. We all have those "interesting" experiences with people with the degrees but no common sense. ;) Loma Linda requires 1000 hours and a degree. I think having prereqs and 2000...

It's encouraging to see so many people in my age range (will be 41 when finished with the class). I tried replying the same to Smoke14 via a positive PM he sent about people he's hired, but I don't have enough posts for the site to let me. I spent some good time in the Army in my 20s so I...

That was my reaction at first, too. But when you think about it, what will you learn in 2 or 4 more years of degree education that you won't learn and need in PA school? One of my bio profs likes to say the PhDs in the department have more education than your general MD. Not to mention...

Yep, RCC is hard to get into, as well. Only 30 students per semester as I remember from the last orientation I attended.

This thread is kinda old, but it's still relevant to me (and Google brought me here because of it. :) ) I was going to do the down-and-dirty summer semester starting in a few weeks, but decided fall is better for myriad reasons. By then I'll be almost 41 and 41 at the end of the semester.
