    Vaccines required to work in EMS?

    No need to "rephrase"--I actually understood you the first time. Stupid conspiracy theorist that you've already concluded--in your I'm sure VAST experience I am. Loose the ****ish attitude and I may respond to your question at some point. :cool:

    Vaccines required to work in EMS?

    Hence my reason for posting. Im not thrilled at the prospect of loading up big-time on vaccines. But I know what the prevailing attitude is in EMS. Thanks everybody who posted.

    First ride-along experience was odd..

    Sounds like a lesson in what you don't want to be--lazy, apathetic,selfish, and lacking in humility and leadership. And manners. <_<

    Did you work while in paramedic training?

    Wow, it wore me out just a little to read these latest posts...geez, are you guys all really young or something? Closing in on 50, I DO worry that the work/school/clinicals thing is only doable if you're in your twenties. The schedules you all describe are daunting.

    arrest no conviction

    On the app for the Citizen's Police Academy they ask if you've ever been arrested. It's Ohio. I guess it's different because it's not an employer...It's the Police. (??)

    arrest no conviction

    I was charged with a crime back in 2008. The charge was dropped and I petitioned to have my record sealed, which it was. Recently, I underwent a background check for a volunteer position working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Nothing came up at all. I even saw the piece...

    Did you work while in paramedic training?

    Nope, I'm a pretty quick study, I'm grateful to be able to day. My total lack of science courses recently worries me a bit. Im brainy, but "in the Humanities," if you know what Im saying. I am a massage therapist, so A&P is no prob, but biochem? Pharmacology? No background. :huh:

    Did you work while in paramedic training?

    If so, how was that? Or, if you're doing it right now, how is it? I would need to keep about a 30-hr work week. Wondering how f/t paramedic school would be on top of that. I realize people have different resources, support systems, etc and that YMMV. :)

    Can you be ONLY a paramedic in a fire based system?

    Working while in paramedic school Did you work at all--in any job--while in paramedic training? Full-time or part-time? If so, were you in school f/t or p/t? I could do loans for the education; however, I already have significant student loan debt, so need to keep my borrowing as minimal as...

    Contacts or Glasses?

    You are SO right. :cool: Who cares if I shell out $50 jillion dollars just so they don't look like Coke bottles? ;)

    Contacts or Glasses?

    Thanks guys PVC, it sounds like you have it figured out. Didn't know I could get prescription safety glasses. It's funny, I'm not worried about fitness, or my back, etc. in pursuing this career. I'm worried about not being able to see what I need to! Blind as a bat. As in I can't see the big...
