I can't believe I'm posting one of these threads... 
Anyway, now that I've finished up EMT-B, I'm considering going on for Paramedic. Maybe all the talk on these boards has had some effect on me - or maybe it's just that I always want to learn more and am not satisfied with 120-someodd hours of advanced first aid.
Anyway, NJ being the way it is, there are only three or four choices. MONOC would be the closest for me, but I've heard bad things about their program, and they require two years of experience. Union is too far away. The only other realistic option for me is Virtua, which isn't too far from work, provided I stay where I am for another few years.
Is anyone familiar with the reputations of the MONOC or Virtua paramedic programs? And yes, I've read the other threads on this issue, but none of them contain opinions or reviews on either of the schools.
