Hey guys, new to the community and just wanted to say hello. I will likely start posting pretty frequently in my pursuit of learning and am looking forward to getting to know some of you guys (and gals) on here.
A little about myself
My name is James
I am a 22 year old male.
Finished college in August with a B.A. In economics from a good liberal arts school.
4 years experience with a small combo fire department
A little over 2 years experience as a float pool tech at the local hospital.
Took my EMT-B as a senor in highschool and managed to let it lapse completely.
I am starting a paramedic program the first week of november in NC at Lenior Community College. It is a hybrid online/classtime practicals program. I read through the pro's and con's of such programs extensively online (including here) and talked to several people so I am aware of the potential shortcomings of limited time with practicals. I am hoping to do my clinicals and and ride alongs (EMS and ER) In Charlotte NC at the Level 1 trauma center and with Medic911 in Charlotte.
Any advice is appreciated (general or otherwise). Just looking to say hey and to get to know some people. If there is anyone in the Rock Hill/Charlotte Area or anyone that is familiar with the Lenoir Community College Paramedic Program I would love to talk to you.
Hope everyone is doing well
James
