    Started the classes and it's going great! Time consuming but I've worked out a routine for studies. So far so good, I'm enjoying everything that I am learning and eager to keep soaking in all that I can this semester.

    I am excited, nervous, but excited. My main concern is time management for studying. I'll figure it out.

    It is a 16 week class one day a week from 535 till 10 while the A&P class is the same day from 1 to 445. So I would go from one to the next.

    *update* so, after all the suggestions to take an A&P class, I put myself on the waiting list for the spring semester (as the class was already full) I just found out today that I made it in! Now I'm debating whether to drop emr and focus on A&P, Or to take both .I think I can handle both...

    Hmm well, I'm not too worried of it coming off that way, seems like everyone's gotten a grip onto what I'm really here for. The fact that I'm not young anymore and have kids, was to make my point of why I'm a bit nervous starting this journey into ems. Taking on more work. Should have started...

    I've heard the nursing suggestions many times. That's not for me. I'm 100% sure that I emt/paramedic is what I want to aim for.

    I am registering this summer for the fall semester emt course. Reason being, my youngest child will begin school (finally) and I'll have the time while all 3 monkies are in school to dedicate to myself . I'd love nothing more to get the ball rolling sooner. That's where the emr class falls...

    I understand, the job won't be all roses and it can get ugly. I think i have a good understanding of the good and the bad, ive always had the interest and passion for an emergency responders career It's been a long wait to step into the field but my time is here. It's a little overwhelming to...

    I'm glad you brought that up, no offense taken. I am open to all advice and Constructive criticism.I am planning to take a class in English, and math during the summer. It has been so long since my school days, I could use a refresher. I will definitely look into taking a&p somewhere in there...

    The emr class was more of a baby stepping it into the medical field. I cannot take the e.m.t course till fall semester of next year, so i figured rather than wasting a semester I can take emr and get my cpr certification plus some basic med education. The medical field is so new to me, any...

    Thank you for your encouragement. I'm already in great pshycial shape, mistaken for an athlete often enough but all I do is time in the gym. Honestly there is nothing I'd want to do more than be an emt and if I can, a paramedic someday. New and unfamiliar area for me, little nervous but I...

    32 yr old mom, looking to bounce into the ems field.

    After 11 years being a stay at home mom, I'm finally going to take steps towards my dream. Would love to have a career as a paramedic, but started basic classes in e.m.r this spring and e.m.t course by fall 2018. I'm a bit nervous about going into unfamiliar territory (emergency medical care)...
