Thanks Pete! I'm going through the National EMS Academy in Beaumont, which is a branch of UTHSCSA. I can't give up my current job to make basic wages while in the medic program. So I plan to volunteer at my local ems whenever I can. Which won't be much, especially after the class starts. Any...

Thanks!!!

I hear it can be tough...but I really do love medicine. As long as I'm intrigued by the info... I'll have no problem retaining it. The only part that truly worries me about medic school is when it's time to throw all the clinical hours in the mix... with class and 30 hrs of work, I may go crazy...

Thanks... I assume you're referring to medic school.

NREMT-B ... around 60/70 ... pass!

Hey! It's been since before even starting the basic program that I posted here. Been lurking a bit though, when I had questions. Took my exam yesterday and my goodness I thought I failed for sure! There were a few I don't remember even seeing in my text book and trust me I read all 1500 pages of...

My moving violation was for an at fault fender bender. I'm 34 and that happened 2 years ago. I have been pulled over many times for different things, speeding, tags, etc.... just lucky i guess.

Female... one

Thanks vene... that's all the info I needed, very informative. I didn't know it was actually NOT recommended after having had it. It will also save me 150 bucks =)

Vericella vaccine is a requirement for emt school. If I had a pretty bad case of the pox as a child, is it still recommended? I know that it isn't required with documented proof. BUT is it likely that I can still contract shingles without it? I have no problems with vaccinations, its a...

This is the part that I'm scared of too lol... prepare, prepare, prepare!!! Good luck to you and do let us know how things are going =)

Yeah I see were that could be a problem :rofl:

Haha... you guys crack me up. For the record... if glamour is what I was after, I'm fairly certain I could get more creative than EMS.

thanks for the heads up

Umm... you could have kept these stats to yourself lol. Nah ... about the same risk you take behind the wheel of a car. When it's your time to go... as long as it's quick and I'm guessing that would be pretty quick!

Ok, thanks... If I fall in love with it like I think I will I doubt I'll be able to go into nursing. Unless of course, the pay is just starving us and I doubt it's that bad :unsure:

Check out allnurses.com ... it's a forum with TONS of info and excelsior is a big topic there too.

OMG I would definitely LOVE that. That would be the ultimate, to be a flight medic for sure!

Then there's flight medic and instructor as someone pointed out. So we shall see... I still have 2 years before I'm licensed. Btw for those wondering why I hadn't considered a traditional nursing program. It is because I must continue to work my current day job and there would be no way for me...

Well, my original plan is to bridge to nursing after I become licensed. I posted this question because I have a feeling my personality best fits that of a medic. I am very passionate about it. My heart races every time I see an ambulance now lol silly I know. But bottom line is... I am doing...
