Hello all, Recently acquired a position at my local EMS company. Was working roughly 40 miles away due to the fact that my local company nicotine tested Job applicants and I knew I'd never pass, but I have a since quit because driving 40 miles a day to work and 40 miles back isn't financially...

I am currently taking an EMT-B course at my local McLaren branch in Michigan during my senior year. After I graduate I intend to work as an EMT-B and go to school for my Paramedic Cert. Delta College, right in my area, is the only community college without an Emergency Medical program (they...
