    Preparing for 911 as an EMT

    not planning on taking any shortcuts to patient care.... My thought process is why spend 1-2 years to become a paramedic when I ultimately want to work in the hospital? Why not spend 3 years becoming an NP instead? You don't have to be an RN to be admitted to an NP program....

    Preparing for 911 as an EMT

    I've got one lined up after I finished my prereqs :) Plus a friend who's already in the program that I'll be using for guidance throughout the process and to help me with admissions. Bottom line is I don't see a point to become a paramedic when I won't be making it my career.

    Preparing for 911 as an EMT

    It's pretty hard to find a paramedic program that costs $5k in the Bay Area. I only know of one and the program is impacted. The wait list for the program alone is at least a year.... Plus it's so competitive to get in that even then you might not. The average cost for a paramedic program in...

    Preparing for 911 as an EMT

    I'm really interested in EKG since I see them all the damn time in the hospital and really would love to be able to read and figure out what they mean just for myself. ACLS/PALS would be cool just to see what the difference is between what is required for an EMT and a medical professional.

    Preparing for 911 as an EMT

    There is no such thing as an AEMT in northern california I believe. I am going back to school, doing prereq for np. PALS/ACLS/EKG would be required of me in the future anyways so I figured since I have the time and money, I might as well familarize myself with them. I would not become a...

    Preparing for 911 as an EMT
