Hey everyone, I just joined here... If there are any medics out there 18-22y/o that want to talk PM me. I am looking for people my age to swap stories with.

My registry is as follows, PATHO, CARDIAC, RESP, PHARM and lots more PATHO the practical is simple..go in there and do your best, the oral stations arent as bad as you think they are going to be.

when u take your written, read the question in FULL and slowly and pick the best answer that you think and dont second guess yourself

youll do fine

I fit in the age range but I'm not a medic. Only an EMT at this point.

Written is passed. Just gotta do the practical. And thanks for the input. I'm worried about oral. *Hehe*

Get out of here old man. Stop trying to corrupt the youth. You have already led me down the path of destruction.

I was 22 when I started as a BSN RN, can I have a cookie?

I am still the youngest RN on my floor and as far as I know probably the hospital.

I assume when you say Paramedic you are referring to Intensive Care Paramedic equivalent (ALS).

It is not possible to be an ICP less than probably 27 here; three years to do the Degree (21 minimum) plus the necessary experience to gain ATP at ILS and then get some real experience on the road (a good 2 to 3 years minimum, more like 4 or 5) then apply to ICP and hope you get selected then do the ICP course and hope you get ATP.

Certainly if I look amongst those of my age or younger who are on the road the responsibility of carrying and administering the ever increasing array of restricted drugs and such is not something I am sure people are ready for at such a young age. Then there is the whole non clinical component on top of that.

I was a medic at 18, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Now I am saddled with a very young partner and I realize the folly of youth.

No wonder I used to get complaints. People skills grow with age and wisdom, but they are needed from the beginning.
