if I went to community college just for basic, would it be better if I went to a different school for paramedic? Or would community college be fine for paramedic also? Cause I'm not sure where I would even start to look for a different school

Yeah I really like the school and the paramedics I talked to seem like they really like the school. So hopefully it works out, and I'll just talk to an academic advisor. Thank you for the information.

I have no idea, my friend said that like someone he knew went to university of Austin. I haven't even looked into a university just cause there isn't any near by, and I can't afford to live on my own. The only difference is probably just money.

Yeah the school also has a police academy, nursing, dental hygene, and I think some other stuff but I can't think of it. But I know it just turned into a 4 year school about a year ago.

The labs are really awesome, they have the best equipment. I know at the school they have their own fire house for training. The program is competitive and really strict on just getting into the program. But they offer a certificate, and then they have a degree called an AAS Degree. Which I...

i don't know, like people are telling me for the county community college, their saying that the certification would only be good for the county. which makes no sense.

So I'm planning on starting school for EMT-B in august. I was planning to go to my community college, which has good reviews for the program. But some people are telling me to go to a university, or somewhere else. So which schools would be better, a community college or a university?

i definetly agree with you. i'm only 5'3", and the skinniest girl ever, but i've been working my way up for lifiting. my emt program requires 125lb lifting, and so far i can lift around 115. but when becoming an emt, wouldn't the job be mostly lifting? since i'm so tiny, i definetly wouldn't...

realllyy? how tall is she? after I become an EMT I was intrested in driving the ambulence, but I can barely reach my pedals in my car. hahah.

Oh Alright that makes sense haha

I'm just applying for the emt basic. But what's an emt-b?

This is my first semester of college, I graduated early and had to take a entrance exam, so I didn't think I would need to take another test. But it shows for the firefighter and paramedics that you have to take those two test. It doesn't really make much sense to me. So I'm hoping its like...

it's a community college. It's Collin College in McKinney, Texas.

I'm going to be in the EMT program this fall, but in order for me to get in I have to take a reading and mathmatics assessment. On the form it says "these assessments are specifically designed for our programs and are not the same as the college entrance exams." What would I need to study...

I was finally able to speak to my academic advisor in person today, and I asked what I would be lifting. She called the director of the EMT program and the director said I could be carrying a dummy. So I'm guessing that the dummy by itself is 125 pounds. I'm applying for the EMT program this...

Okay, thank you. I'll definitely look into that, I just need to be able to stop eating so much junk food lol

Alright I'll look into those workouts, I get all my workouts from bodybuilding.com. Do you know good healthy diets? I don't need to lose weight I just need to gain weight and eat a lot heathier

this might sound kinda stupid but what exactly does core strength mean?

So to be able to meet that requirement do I just need to workout mostly my back and legs?

alright, i'm going to try to find out more information. i'm not sure what i would be lifiting, when i talked to the director of the program and the academic advisor they didn't say what i would be lifiting. the only thing they told me was i just needed to lift that amount of weight. also when i...
