Paramedic School Started

[AustinNative]

Finally started classes. Super psyched! Really just wanted to share this. Did my first butterfly sticks and ET tubes today on simulated persons. Awesome.

Best of luck.... ACC runs a tough program!

I got my EMT-B through ACC, and it is tough, but I am prepared. Thanks all! Off to study!

Im thinking of going to ACC for my paramedic, is it a good program? How many days a weeks do they meet? Do you like it?

Welcome to having no life.

You JUST started and you're already sticking and tubing? Wow that was fast.

ACC has a great program. I looked into it years ago when I lived in Austin. I wish I had gotten my basic there.

Well I have not been on this website for a couple of months, mainly due to how busy I have been. In my opinion, the ACC program is excellent. Right now it meets twice a week from 8am until 3pm. First semester is Intro to Advanced Practices and Patient Assessment and Airway management. You also have all the non-EMS classes if you are going for an Associate's degree. No clinicals during first semester.

Second semester gets a bit trickier, with four Para classes and clinicals, plus my wife is due with our first in late February.

Just tested on heart-sounds, now onto Neurological assessment.

Off to study...

Cheers!
