Hey everyone, I recently got my EMT-B license and was considering paramedic school (before I apply to medical school in a few years) but I had a few questions. I know Christ and Ingalls are supposed to be good programs, but I'm not sure how long any of these programs are. It's really hard to...

Alright! I passed! I checked it this morning and bam, there it was. I'm so happy. Now to find a job. :) If anyone has any questions, let me know! Good luck to those still waiting to test. JSainte

Anxious Thank you amonteve. I think I'm being pessimistic that way if by some miracle I did pass, I'll be extra happy as opposed to thinking maybe I passed and then getting a letter that says, "Sorry sucka!" :P Fingers crossed!

Exam is over! Hey everyone, I was supposed to be at the testing center 30 minutes early (5:45pm) and Mapquest got me seriously lost by telling me to turn onto streets that did not exist. Amazingly, I found it. The test was supposed to start at 6:15, I ran in panting from my run around the...

Hey everyone, I haven't really been on this site since starting my EMT-B class back in August, but here I am about to take my exam. I got a 94% in the class, and feel pretty confident because we were given exams in each class. I've been reading that the most difficult aspect of the exam is...

Great point BossCow. I thought about that, too. You touch so many things, it's hard to tell. I thought, "Steering wheel, door handles, keys, etc, etc..." I'm starting to feel like most of my EMT-B work will be hands-on cleaning experience. When do you have time for patients? :P How long does...

This thread has really helped open my eyes to all the risks that health care providers are exposed to. As someone who is a compulsive hand-washer, and very weird about germs, I plan to take every precaution there is, as an EMT-B, and as a PA. Thanks for that last link, the site is very...

Great article, thanks for the link.

Follow-up to my post Interesting article I found while 'Googling' some things. Goes with my previous post. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=64503

Scary I'm new to the forum, and have yet to start my EMT-B course (which is a stepping stone to PA school). Of course I've always realized that working in health care is going to expose you to all sorts of risks, it is really scary to think about some of them... particularly HIV/AIDS. Out of...

Thanks Wow. I'm not a super big softie by any means, but that was frickin' adorable. I love to see kids like that, you can tell she's been brought up well. P.S. I'm pre-student status at the minute, and I'm hoping to catch that bug, too. :)

Best wishes Very sorry to hear about what happened to you. Although, glad you are okay. Take care of yourself.

Hello all! I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of an EMT-B course the runs during the summer, in or around the Chicgaoland area. I was hoping to take it at Moraine Valley College, but as it turns out, they only offer it in the Fall and Spring, and next year is...

Thanks Thank you to all who replied with a greeting! Can't wait to get started browsing this site. I think I'll start with "Did that just happen!?" :P

Just wanted to say hello to all of you. Brief intro... Currently living overseas (fiance is from England), due back in April to start EMT courses this summer. Next year is the final year of my BA, and following that will be my application to PA school. Getting anxious to start EMT...
