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.
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.

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...
