I would agree on the 1000 hour not being enough.
I guess my argument really is. I believe when you want to be a paramedic, you go to school to be a paramedic. Like lets make a curriculum based off paramedic. Focus all the important aspects out of A&P and put it into one class.
People...
The success of people who never completed or attended college makes us question whether what we need to learn is taught in school. Learning by doing -- in life, not classrooms -- is the best way to turn constant iteration into true innovation. We can be productive members of society without...
Why?
In the State of Oregon you must have an Associates to be able to have your paramedic. What's the point?
I'm arguing from a standpoint, I've completed all the pre-recs for Paramedic, and I can honestly say everything I learned in A&P was like my Basic Class. Maybe I just had a...
I work as a part time Engineer tech, and I must say mapping the city is a nice thing. Working by yourself. No screaming, just waltzing down the road minding your own business can be nice.
Thank you I would call myself someone that always shoots for the best as well. I will shave it tonight. I just know my wife really likes it, so it's really the only reason I considered showing up with it trimmed. I can always just grow it back.
PS : Sorry for not giving details where I'm applying. I'm very stingy about giving away details online when I don't have a job. Wouldn't want the person reading this that was interviewing me.
This question may be something you look down upon and call me stupid for even asking this question.
I've been with the fire service for 6 years and have had a clean shaven face because of the fire service. My wife got a job in a bigger city, so we are moving there soon. I have a interview...
I'll be starting my EMT class winter Term. Along with some ES172 class. I'll do just fine in the EMT class, I have a lot of help at the station and resources. It's the Paramedic class I know that's going to be challenging. I wouldn't mind working on the wheelie vans. Money is money in my eyes...
I am just a First Responder, I will be take the Accelerated EMT class at Chemeketa. I'm only a few classes away from being able to enroll for the Paramedic class, which will be awesome, finally get my AAS. I'm just looking a little into the future, PWA seems to hire a lot. I mean, friends put...
I just tried to PM you, but I can't because I'm a new user :*(. I know I'm asking about Metro West, but really, I'm asking about Pac West. It's owned by Mr J.D. Fuiten. Although it's called something entirely different. I live in Waldport Oregon, close by Newport Oregon. I'm currently a Member...
How is Metro West? My Volunteer Fire Department can't stand them, just because we have our own Ambulance Company. So ya, there's a lot of competition. But I have to support my wife and go where the Jobs are, because my local fire department only hires on weekends. Mostly relies on Volunteers, or...
