Hey Cody;

It was nice hearing from you. Where are you going to be located when you get back to the states? The first step in becoming a Paramedic, you need to be an EMT. Have you taken an EMT class? I am located in Virginia and need to know where you will be in order to help you.

Talk to you soon.

Cody;
I would base my decision on what level of EMT you would like to attain and the knowledge base you want. Brady books are generally, easy reading and written at a lower grade level. Mosby is college level reading and information as well as Jone and Bartlett's "EMERGENCY CARE IN THE STREETS" by Nancy Caroline. I am partial to this series because I was a reviewer for the addition that was just released. Jones and Bartlett also offers excellent online resources for people that purchase their textbooks.

Talk to you soon!!
