Okay good to know, thanks. My emtb program is 2 months, so I feel a lot better about that now.

Okay, I just want to know what a mill is and how to avoid going to school at one. I know emtb's don't do much or learn much, that's not in my control. I can't skip it and go straight into being a paramedic. What is in my control is which school I attend. Since I'm new I don't know what...

Are you saying in an accelerated program the students don't really learn?

Hi, I've read the term .. I think it was something like.. Medic Mill or EMT Mill? and then also 'shake and bake'. I'm taking an accelerated EMT-B course this June/July and then a longer course for specialist and paramedic which will be 17 months long. The school informed me that routinely...

Wow 7 years.. hmm, by the time I finish EMT-B class and pass the test it will have been 7 years since my first speeding ticket so hopefully that will mean it won't be on my record. The first two years I had my license I was one crazy driver. I'm much better now, but that's mainly what I'm...

I meant that GR doesn't have nearly as many suburbs as the Detroit area so it's still limited in companies to apply to. I know life ems and the hospitals around here both hire BLS because I have interviewed the HR and the school also informed me of that, but I'm glad to know there are more...

Are you rolling your eyes at me?! lol

I live so far from there, I'm in GR and can only find 2 services in GR.. at least via google. But of course, we have tons of suburbs (not like Detroit) but enough for me to have a few places to apply to. Do you work full time? I heard it is hard to find full time employment right out of school?

Thanks, I had no idea that it would qualify for so many different arena's. I've been so focused on working as an EMT - but I don't have a good driving history, I've had a few speeding tickets and in today's tough economy and with the number of people who have perfect driving records competing...

Why do you prefer riding with males over females? I hope most people don't feel that way, wouldn't be good business for the rest of us females when we try to get employed.. I am not am EMT yet so I can't answer your poll but I'm sure I'd like either or.. we'll see. Maybe I will let you know...

I'm also doing the NWLB program, I'm on the other side of the state in Grand Rapids. What you can do is contact a school, I just researched them on google for my area and found the two in my city and both are funded by NWLB, and I called them up and registered for the June class. They...

I've been involved with serving my community and health care since being a teen, I never thought I could be an EMT or paramedic. It seemed out of reach and then I did the research on how to become an EMT and I realized there were two schools in my city and that I qualified for a grant and here I...

Hey thanks for the advice. I did go for a walk today and it did feel good. I can't believe I let myself get so out of shape. Ugh. Anyway, I will take what you have said into consideration. I am a vegetarian and I noticed I eat too much pasta and too much bread. So I'm cutting those...

Thanks for the info. I'm not even a Basic yet, my class starts in June. I just like to plan ahead. I wanted to try to get a job that would better help me in my education toward becoming a paramedic.

Haha you made me laugh. I read a lot about 'drama' and what not and how to fly under the radar. That seemed like good advice to me. Advice I plan to keep! Thanks for the welcome.
