I just started classes to become a basic emt last week. I've only been to 2 lecture classes and just got back from my first lab class today. Really I only sat through one leture because the first day was just about the class. But man I'm loving everything about it, when I'm home im actually exticed to read the book and do homework... Which isn't like me.
Today though was the first lab which is what scared me. The instructors are great. Today they just went over cpr and we practied on dummies in groups. Which the first time around I needed some help asking a few questions, but after the second and third time doing it, I realized how simple it is.
That's not the problem though, while I was sitting in class and the instructors we're going over everything, I don't know if I just didn't have all my attention on the class today or what but some of the stuff they were saying I wasn't understanding like it was going through one ear out the other but I was paying attention. Then all the work that they went over that we will be doing in the class in such a short time and having the other leture class twice a week.. Both of them are just scaring the hell out of me.
For you that went through this how is it? The professors said it is a very hard class. I wasn't too worried about it until I went to this lab today. Are the classes a lot of work? Hard work? How is it? In 8 weeks we start clinicals. My goal eventually is to become a firefighter paramedic. Any advice? Anything anyone can tell me? Thanks.
