Thank you both for the advice. I'm very grateful to know that any kind of medical background won't help. Is there anything I can study to get ahead for med school like advanced A&P? I read NCLEX and NREMT-P study guides before bed almost every night as well as medical terminology...

I'm entitled to my opinion regardless of the number of hours of experience I have or my level of education. In my original post, I explained that this is a geographic situation. I didn't simply judge an entire field based on limited experience. I'm unimpressed with the overly-bureaucratic...

Please at least read my reply. I've already answered all your questions and in a posting with your quote at that. What AAMC statistic are you citing regarding academic sabotage and dishonesty? I understand the competitive nature of going to med school, but I highly doubt I need to worry...

So, what AS degree and online BS degree shall I get to go to med school? Why shouldn't I learn paramedicine while obtaining my AS?

My credits from community college don't transfer to University without an AS. Trust me that I'd much rather be taking 14 credit hours at University right now than earning an AS, however I cannot take the courses I have left without prerequisite recognition and I can't gain that prerequisite...

Out of curiosity, are you a medical school adviser or currently in the employ of one? I see your credentials list RN and EMT so what experience do you have with applying to med school? I don't want you to take offense to my questions, I'm simply curious as to your experience. For the other...

Please do make suggestions for a useful AS in the pursuit of a medical degree. I assume an AS in some form of medicine is more useful than say, Biology? Chemistry? Psychology? I can also obtain employment in the medical field and maintain fluency in terminology while picking up pathology...

I can get my associates in paramedicine in 2 semesters. It would take 4 semesters to get my associates in nursing. I need the associates to transfer my credit block to ASU. I need to transfer my credit block to ASU so I can take advanced courses for my BS. And I need my BS to apply to...

This is for anyone looking into these 2 fields of medicine. This is my perspective as someone who only dipped his toe in the water so far. In Phoenix, to become a nurse these days you have to wait 3-4 years after completing your prereqs and submitting your application or you can pay over...

I just wanna get the only 2 pre-reqs I would need for the Maricopa Community College (in Phoenix) Paramedic program knocked out while I'm out here so I could start in Fall Semester in case nursing school is still backed up. Here's the course descriptions of what I would take in AZ...

Hey Ya'll, I temporarily moved to Fremont, CA for work and I'm trying to see if I can get an Emergency Cardiac Care course as well as a Pharmacology in an Emergency Setting course done while I'm out here. I can't figure out if there's a network of CC's out here like back home in Arizona...

I think the course material is antiquated in presentation, dry, and to tell you the truth, I never cracked the book because it pissed me off each time I tried to use it to find information. But because this is a nationally accredited program I'm sure every course uses the same material, so I...

I'm taking my final exam for a hybrid EMT-B course today. I have an A and plan on getting an A on my final today. I attend Phoenix College in Arizona and decided on the class because I could maintain my full time job while attending 2 four-hour classes per week. I'm a pre-nursing student...
