I just finished an accelerated course with UCLA (F***ing Great).

LOL. 71.5 I read it today. Im working on decreasing the chub factor myself.

Im not an EMT yet so I can't speak for what the books say but I have had 5 (yes 5) ectopic pregnancies. Only one caused some minor shoulder pain and I think I may have imagined the pain because I was afraid. The only true symptom I had was brown spotting. Very brown, like old blood and it almost...

REALLY!! That is awesome! I'm going to be on the phone tomorrow!! Do I just call the local stations?

WOW!! You guys rock. I'm not even there yet. My EMT-B program starts in September and I've worried about this exact thing. It's good to know everyone does and it gives me that much more steam to go forward. Thanks.

Absolutely!! First rule..keep my self safe and healthy so they dont have to call EMS for me. :) Thank you for the feedback.

46young - I actually was looking into RN and was very fortunate to be able to volunteer in peds at a hospital. I just didn't feel it was for me. No disrespect but Resp. Therapist could not sound more boring or be further from what I am looking for. My plan is to go all the way to paramedic. I'm...

Hi guys. I'm 37 and after majoring in child psychology and early childhood education, I finally figured out what I really want to do with my life. I am starting my EMT-B program at UCLA in a couple months. I'm totally excited and have been studying my butt off. I am also starting CERT training...

Message well recieved. Thank you for the insight. The patch means nothing to me if I'm not the best.

Definately a suicidal bunny. I had a 3 legged turtle once that commited suicide. It's a tragic thing when an animal takes it's own life. :lol:

I might have to take it now just for the research. I'm VERY curious and it might make for a great article.

You guys really are awesome. Thank you so much for all of your advise. I'm going to be taking it all into consideration. I know it sounds silly but even if I do the program I will also be doing the semester programs. Overkill seems to work great for me. Either way you all have given me A LOT to...

They say if you don't you can re-take the course for free and they'll pay for you to retake the test.

I haven't taken any classes yet. I'm enrolled for next semester but I've been studying like crazy. I won't be going there in the dark or a complete know it all. I don't think I'm allowed to name the school on here but if you google emt bootcamp in california you will see them. They are in...

Hi everyone. I see that my previouse post, in which, I mentioned that I would be going to a 2 week emt bootcamp caused quite a debate. I apologize if anyone was offended. That was not my intent at all. I happen to agree that the more education one has the better. Especially in a field where...

WOW! You guys are intense. I see I'm in the right place. I love that you all speak your mind. I don't care if it's friendly or harsh. I don't care about brotherhood/sisterhood but I would hope that there is some sense of "village raising the child" so to speak. I came to this site looking for...

I appreciate and welcome your honesty. That's why I'm here. I am also taking classes with Los Angeles County Regional Occupational Program and I will be taking classes at UCLA. I have some learning disabilities that mean I have to do things a little differently. I have found that when I include...

I've always wanted to be in the medical field. I was bumping around the idea of er or peds nurse until I recentley witnessed a fatal hit and run accident, by a drunk driver, in front of my house. I felt this overwhelming need to do something but what could I do, I knew nothing about what those...

I agree with you too...I've been taking other classes too. The bootcamp is mainly to prepare me for the NREMT.

Speaking of intense training....does anyone have any advise on books, etc..that I could study to get ready?
