I'm going to school to be a paramedic any advice?

As a former Paramedic and having endured going through paramedic school...


wow, just pay attention...ask a TON of question, because it is better to ask the question then to get in the field and wish you had asked. Make friends with your classmates and help each other out whenever possible. Study study study...you need that to pass the national registry. Practice practice practice...all your codes and your actions for the different rhythms and scenarios. Do it over and over so when you are in the field you have already done it 1000 times. And remember that when doing a practice head to toe in class...and you get to that 1% (the genitals) its really funny to say..';genitals unremarkable'; LOL.. Good luck if you need anything else feel free to e-mail me!I'm going to school to be a paramedic any advice?
I used to be an EMT Basic. I really liked it, but it took up alot of my time (I was going to school full time while I took the course). Make sure you are able to commit the necessary time to it, and also, make sure it's something you really want to do. I would suggest shadowing an EMT or volunteering in an ER to make sure you can handle all the sad/gross aspects of the job. Otherwise it's just a waste of time and money! But if you have the time, money, and the passion for the job, then go for it! it can be very rewarding. Good luck!I'm going to school to be a paramedic any advice?
