Thats awesome! EMT at 16?! Ya beat me. I had gotten mine at 18, right before I graduated high school. Well, congrats! You thinkin about movin on to Paramedic? Its a great job!
well thats cool idk il just have to play around with it some i dont get up here too often but its a cool place to be part of but yea thanks anyways though
for me they were pretty easy, the hardest part was remembering to do it the state way as opposed to the real way in the practicals. and traffic safety was retarded because i didnt include closing the door behind me. they over simplified a lot of stuff which in turn made it more difficult. how did you decide you wanted to follow this career path?
I&II are a breeze, well in missouri at least. some of the classes are boring depending on the teacher but for the most part i had fun. i kinda grew up around it all and sat through a lot of the classes before so it was all sort of redundant for me which made a lot of the classes lack the interest required to hold my attention so i just stopped going to class and talked the instructor into just letting me take the slide show whenever i had time "because i work nights" so i didnt do anything but take the tests and now here i sit. i know that when i was actually taking the class there was a guy that already had his I&II but had to retake it because he got his in wisconsin and you apparently cant challenge the test in missouri.
well, i took the class when i was 18 and then i failed my first practical and decided not to retake it, so i'm waiting for opportunity to present itself and get off of working nights plus the part time at the firehouse at the same time and then i have to decide whether i'm going to retake it or if i'm going to go for my rn and bridge over to medic
20, i dont really know how old you have to be to take it here but i was under the impression that you had to be 18 could be wrong though didnt really research it much.
hey thinks for the comment yea i know i just ran across the website and it looked coool so i made it if u have any tips for doin any extra to my page id be glad to take em..
