Ding ding ding ding!

Pay attention to what Ginger tells you in Trauma, and practice your skills as much as you can schedule. We start routinely losing students during second semester, so keep up with your schoolwork and studying- time management is key. Don't get caught up in drama, there always is some, just stay...

Three years equals one semester for some pre-reqs while waiting to get into basic school, then one semester of basic, then 5 semesters of Paramedic school.

Graduated from Austin Community College. When I pass registry, I will be a Licensed Paramedic in the great state of Texas. What an incredible 3 years!

I will sit for my NREMT-Paramedic exam two months before my 50th. Just keep at it.

If the rhythm transitions into VF, then wouldn't defibrillation come before another round of Epi?

Austin Community College has one of the best Paramedic programs in the country. Awesome area to work in. Five county services within an hour.

Awesome first semester. So very different from Basic school. Austin Community College has an outstanding program. Oh, sweet, sweet holiday!

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...
