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?
For your reference here i am forwarding you the website link that will give you information about nursing and other health science degrees that may help you to work as paramedical staff. But I think nursing would be best degree for you. the link is

What advice would you give to a person that has been betrayed by their spouse?
And when offering this advice, have you ever been in their shoes? If not what do you base your advice on?
I know this is more than one question but they tie together.What advice would you give to a person that has been betrayed by their spouse?
I follow the saying, ';To err is human, to forgive is divine';...and yes I've been in their shoes, and all I'm going to say is that the year was 2003 and my husband's lover's name was ';Pam the Gym Rat';...What advice would you give to a person that has been betrayed by their spouse?
Think long and hard before you act upon your initial thoughts. My wife and I went through a very hard time. We betrayed each other. She with held affection from me and I in turn went and found affection outside our marriage. Had I not acted upon my first instinct which was I'm going to make her hurt the way I hurt we wouldn't have come so very very close to divorce. We wouldn't have put our son through so much like watching our relationship deteriorate, hearing the talk of divorce, wondering if it was his fault. Putting ourselves through hell trying our best to kill what was at the time an 11 yr marriage. Had we taken the time to communicate rather than try so hard to hurt each other none of this would have happened.
So to answer your question straight forward I'd say try your level best to communicate with your spouse (including marriage counseling) and find out why this happened and if you forgive them and decide to stay married to them, get guarantees that it will never happen again and make crystal clear in your spouses mind what will happen if you are ever betrayed again
I think it really depends on how long you have been together. I have only been with my husband for four years but I thought he had cheated on me and he told me that one of his friends cheated on his wife. I thought he was talking about himself. I told him I would never speak to him again and it would be over for sure. But I love him and if he could prove he would never do it again. I would stay with him. It would be a lot of him sleeping on the couch and his opinion doesn't mean anything until I said it did but I think once you find your soul mate or life companion and you are comfortable with your decision, sometimes you have to give second chances.
it depends on what the betrayal was. if he/she cheated then its a matter of why they did it. do they love the person they cheated on you with? was he/she so frustated sexually that he/she had to resort to unfaithfullness? don't automatically jusmp to conclusions. maybe the betrayer didnt mean for it to happen. if you look at situations that have happened in other marriages, you'll see that there are so many different scenarios that could've happened. but i could be wrong...the betrayer could just be a cheating spouse just like many other cheating spouses. they got tired of it at home and wanted 'variety' or what ever.in that case...**** em. make them want you back so bad they will do anything. show them what theyre missing. and if you want them back too then get back together...if you dont then theyll know the mistake they made for the rest of their life
I have been cheated on before. I found out 6 months ago that my husband cheated on me. So yes, I've been in their shoes.
First of all, my advice would be decide if you want to stay in the marriage or not. Look at yr spouse's behaviour etc.
Then get counselling. Individual and marriage counselling for BOTH of you. Especially for him (the cheater) - he needs to find out why he cheated and how to prevent it from happening again.
If you are staying, get a Plan B ready. Have a secret savings account. Know all your rights - will u get the house? custody of kids? etc. Invest 100% into your marriage (if you're staying) but also invest 100% into Plan B, because you never know what sh!t might hit you in the future.
Most importantly, take care of yourself.
this is the advice i was once given,
ride it out, stay away for a bit, no talk, no nothing, when u feel like it and when u know what U wanna do, u go talk to him/her just to see where he/she is at ...if u want u can just meet up with him/her once.. and really think about, what U want..now that u know how HE/SHE is feeling...
Ive tried it on couple of friends.. =S it has worked, its really hard to advice ppl on risky situations, so it depends how close of a friend u two are...
u have to make up ur mind do u wanna stay or go, if u stay will u be able to trust him again? my boyfriend has betrayed me over and over again, and for some reason i choose to stay with him, that's y i am so unhappy now, after 7 years, i want out i had enough, i wonder if i would have left him alone the 1st time he did it, would i be so hurt now!
My husband and I had been married for almost 20 years..Yes, he betrayed me..We had a large farm, lots of animals and a beautiful Log cabin home..We lived in central Florida (I still do)...After we separated, I left the home because of his temper and abuse and he went out and found himself a new girlfriend..but that isn't the only place he betrayed the whole family...He started telling the family within a short few months that the house and land were being foreclosed on..The Bank is taking it all..I kept asking him if he were keeping up with the payments and he wouldn't answer...The day came for the bank sale and he said after the bills were paid, he was left with less than 5, 000...This was on property and land and home worth almost half a million dollars...He said he lost it all...Gave me a few dollars..less than 1000 to help with my rent..Move forward about 6 years..Dear Christian hubby and I divorced and he moved to Asia and remarried..My oldest daughter is a mortgage broker and one day when she was bored, she started pulling up public records..entering Dad's name..Guess what came up..Dear hubby had SOLD everything..sold everything as an unmarried man...Sold our home, land, furniture, livestock..anything that wasn;t tied down.He sold as an unmarried man while we were still married..and he walked away with all the money and left the country..Left me and the children with nothing..nothing...almost homeless..my attorney tells me there is nothing I can do about it..even tho I lived in that house for 15 years, being his wife..I hear my EX is preaching on Sundays....
Move on, they obviously did. I've been in their shoes, more than once. The best thing is to not grovel or seem desperate by looking back, contacting or even seeming upset. This is the best slap in the face that you can deliver. They'll wonder why they weren't a big deal. Worked for me!!
well if you really love the person you marry and wanna be with him /her for the rest of your life, then give him/her a chance..all you need is TRUST..
im in the situation right now..and we are going very well (as of now)..
divorce! Anything else--any sign of complacency sends the message that u r a doormat!
you need to find out why first. even if you go your own way. that way you don't have a repeat later.

Taking the Hoodia product that helps curb your appetite and it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have advice
I'm following the directions and don't feel like i'm eating as much as before but still not losing weight.Taking the Hoodia product that helps curb your appetite and it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have advice
Please do not try diet pills because they are not the long term answer and many can cause negative health effects. Consider a healthy lifestyle change.
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/…
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.ht…
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/w…
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsou…
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/P…
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is ';Muscle and Fitness';. Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Any advice you can give on someone who wants to start being an artist?
I'm really interested in trying the visual arts - painting, drawing, sculpting, using oil pastels, crayons, watercolor, etc, but I don't know how to start and I don't know anything about the materials. Perhaps some of you know a good site or book, or can give me advice on how I can start? Thanks!Any advice you can give on someone who wants to start being an artist?
Wow, you sound so much like me! I'm all over the place with it, too!
I started with colored pencils. I didn't really have a clue, but bought a sketchbook and a basic set of Prismacolor pencils and just played and played with them. Prismacolor has a great website for their products:
http://www.prismacolor.com/sanford/consu鈥?/a>
There are tons of sites. About.com has great tips for painting and drawing. Or, just type ';free online art techniques'; or ';how to use oil pastels'; (or whatever media interests you) into your browser and see what you get!
If you're interested in taking a class and have the time for it, definitely do so. Also make sure you have at least a basic understanding of color theory. You can learn that online as well, but you'll get a better idea of how colors behave once you actually start working with them.
And practice as much as you can. Try to at least sketch something every day, even if it's just a scribble on a scrap of paper while you're standing in line at the grocery.
One small piece of advice ... avoid watercolors until you take a class or really know what you're doing. You'd think they'd be so simple, right! They can be very frustrating. OK, maybe that's just me ... ? Anyway, have fun ... and Good Luck!Any advice you can give on someone who wants to start being an artist?
JUST DO IT!!!! No one can train/tell you how to be an artist it just happens. I started painting years ago and it was not good but with practice I was able to do my own thing and figure out techniques that help me. Keep on keeping on girl!
Use the internet or go to the library and get some books on the history of the use of whichever mediums you are interested in. Pick the names of artists that mastered techniques in that type of art, and use it for inspiration to start your own work. You could try doing reproductions/copies first if that helps.
It's usually easiest to start with pencil drawings first then slowly trying out pastels, acrylic paints, and oil paints (watercolour is a bit of a toughy--you might want to save that for later on). I personally thinking you can start sculpting at any time. Working with clay is one of my favourites, but for that you'll need proper resources such as a kiln to fire the dried pieces.
Make sure to learn the basics in whatever you choose (i.e. how to mix colours if you want to learn painting, or studying anatomy and proportions if you want to do figure drawings or portraits), again through either books or online tutorials (there's plenty if you know how to use search engines properly). You might even want to join an online artists group like deviant art or gfxartist or example, so that you can get critiques and comments on your art which will help you improve much faster. This is especially important if your town/city doesn't offer many art classes or if you don't have any contacts with people skilled in art.
It would be a very good idea to keep a sketchbook on you, to scribble down any ideas or thoughts as your creative juices flow. Also, if you're serious about this and it's not just a passing interest, don't cheap out on materials unless you're on a very tight budget, because they certainly do affect how good your end result is.
With all that said, good luck on your endeavors! :)
Start out simply with something you are most drawn to, such as pencil sketching or making jewelery. From there, you should be able to figure out what type of art interests you most and which you are more inclined to want to stay with. Most of all, please yourself with what media you choose.
nice. buy a sketchpad and do some sketches , copy some pictures from magazines..:)
try to color your sketchings using color pencils
if you think your improving then try water color ..
keep practicing! you sure will be a good artist!
read tons and tongs of books regarding artist personally i would say impressionist. Claude Monet all the way baby
I always think classes are best. Any class in your area would be good. BUT remember to practice practice practice. Work on your own style too. and remember your art won't look like everyone else's either. That was my problem at first I want to draw just like other people. You can try just drawing something from real life. Trees, people, any still life. Your brain works differently when you draw from real life.
take lessons great way to start learn about the materials and techniques some times learning on your own can get frusterating and you will give up easier but if you get lessons and learn proper technique it may come quicker
c
Take some classes if you can. There are lots of art books out there. You can find low cost books from the internet, Other than that get you some artist paint, and some brushes and some pictures or photo to practice from. I suggest using acrylic paint to begin. You can get it at Walmart and or/ Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby also gives classes. Also watch some of the art lesson on Saturday in some tv stations. Another place is , look on youtube.com for painting lessons. Good luck
TRy the Who, What , Where, When , Why , How plus motive.in chooseing the inspiration

JUST DO IT!!!! No one can train/tell you how to be an artist it just happens. I started painting years ago and it was not good but with practice I was able to do my own thing and figure out techniques that help me. Keep on keeping on girl!
Use the internet or go to the library and get some books on the history of the use of whichever mediums you are interested in. Pick the names of artists that mastered techniques in that type of art, and use it for inspiration to start your own work. You could try doing reproductions/copies first if that helps.
It's usually easiest to start with pencil drawings first then slowly trying out pastels, acrylic paints, and oil paints (watercolour is a bit of a toughy--you might want to save that for later on). I personally thinking you can start sculpting at any time. Working with clay is one of my favourites, but for that you'll need proper resources such as a kiln to fire the dried pieces.
Make sure to learn the basics in whatever you choose (i.e. how to mix colours if you want to learn painting, or studying anatomy and proportions if you want to do figure drawings or portraits), again through either books or online tutorials (there's plenty if you know how to use search engines properly). You might even want to join an online artists group like deviant art or gfxartist or example, so that you can get critiques and comments on your art which will help you improve much faster. This is especially important if your town/city doesn't offer many art classes or if you don't have any contacts with people skilled in art.
It would be a very good idea to keep a sketchbook on you, to scribble down any ideas or thoughts as your creative juices flow. Also, if you're serious about this and it's not just a passing interest, don't cheap out on materials unless you're on a very tight budget, because they certainly do affect how good your end result is.
With all that said, good luck on your endeavors! :)
Start out simply with something you are most drawn to, such as pencil sketching or making jewelery. From there, you should be able to figure out what type of art interests you most and which you are more inclined to want to stay with. Most of all, please yourself with what media you choose.
nice. buy a sketchpad and do some sketches , copy some pictures from magazines..:)
try to color your sketchings using color pencils
if you think your improving then try water color ..
keep practicing! you sure will be a good artist!
read tons and tongs of books regarding artist personally i would say impressionist. Claude Monet all the way baby
I always think classes are best. Any class in your area would be good. BUT remember to practice practice practice. Work on your own style too. and remember your art won't look like everyone else's either. That was my problem at first I want to draw just like other people. You can try just drawing something from real life. Trees, people, any still life. Your brain works differently when you draw from real life.
take lessons great way to start learn about the materials and techniques some times learning on your own can get frusterating and you will give up easier but if you get lessons and learn proper technique it may come quicker
c
Take some classes if you can. There are lots of art books out there. You can find low cost books from the internet, Other than that get you some artist paint, and some brushes and some pictures or photo to practice from. I suggest using acrylic paint to begin. You can get it at Walmart and or/ Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby also gives classes. Also watch some of the art lesson on Saturday in some tv stations. Another place is , look on youtube.com for painting lessons. Good luck

Well sometimes my grandma is nice but sometimes she can be a jerk can you please give me some advice?
she thinks shes queen of the houseWell sometimes my grandma is nice but sometimes she can be a jerk can you please give me some advice?
Do you live with your Grandmother or does she live with you? If she lives in your home then being queen of the house is not the option. She is in your territory and therefore should respect your space. If she gives you smart remarks, calls you names or shouts at you a simple ';Grandma';! with a look of dissapointment and hurt to accompany it would let her know what she's doing without you physically needing to have a sitdown. If you live with her then the question is what can you do to help make her invasion of privacy less stressful. Elders always demand respect as was how they were brought up. If she senses any disrespect coming from you then an attitude from her might be the way she defends her stance. Try looking at it from her view and then try and come up with solutions on how you can make the situation a little better for you AND her.Well sometimes my grandma is nice but sometimes she can be a jerk can you please give me some advice?
maybe she is the queen of the house?
everyone has their faults, and we can all be a little annoying at times. yes, even you an me.

What advice would you give your best girlfriend if she were traveling alone for the first time?
If you have traveled alone before and learned from the experience what advice (besides safety first)would you give your best (girl)friend if she were heading out to the big open for the first time alone?What advice would you give your best girlfriend if she were traveling alone for the first time?
Tell her to chum up with other young ladies who are also traveling alone, or at least to sit near other women in bus stations/on trains. Also, one thing I did when traveling alone at night on trains was to put a plastic bag on the inside of the door handle so that I could sleep. That way, if someone opened the door I would hear the plastic bag making that crinkling noise and I would wake up. Sometimes I'd also put a second plastic bag on the floor where someone would step on it, thereby making noise or slipping! I was a paranoid sleeper on trains, ha ha. Tell her that many women have done it before and she will be fine. I was SO scared before I left and it's a crazy thing to do, but what an amazing experience and a great chance to learn about herself and become more independent. People give me props all the time for doing it, so it's going to get her some free lunches for the rest of her life just having people want to hear about it. :)What advice would you give your best girlfriend if she were traveling alone for the first time?
I would tell her to keep track of her money. Also, keep her money and anything valuable, such as a cellphone, in the front pockets of her jeans. It is much easier to take a purse than jeans.
Aso she should carry something with her at all times that can be used in her defense if anything happens. Anything simple will do, I have a pocket knife, my sister has mace... Almost anything can work.
The most important thing is probably to keep track of herself, where she is and where she's going. It's too easy to get lost in a new place, and you want to avoid asking some random person on the street. If she does need to ask someone, a policeman or a woman would do.
always carry a phone around with you.
Don't be in an area in an airport where hardly any people are.
They always have some peope kidnapped in those areas.

What is the most important thing about giving advice to others?
What are the basics in helping them, and not do anything wrong? My job involves it and I need a few pointers just to be sure I don't mess up.What is the most important thing about giving advice to others?
Be a diplomate. If you are only giving advice, and not orders, listen. Find out what they REALLY want - advice or agreement. If they want agreement they won't appreciate good advice that runs contrary to what they have already decided. They will simply keep looking till they find someone who will say what they WANT to hear. if they truely want advice, give it... but only if you can turn around and accept that they won't take it without getting upset with them.
(Look at me! I just gave advice about advice!)What is the most important thing about giving advice to others?
Well you should probably say what you would do (unless it would be something like violent) but yeah say what you would do, or if your not really sure then say that you are not sure what to do and tell them what you would most likely do and tell them to do what they think is right... hope that helped?!

Giving advice, like here, is easier than offering constructive criticism. Advice is requested. A critique usually isn't. Either way you might open your remarks with a question. This should prompt an easier exchange of ideas. Before they have an opportunity to respond, ask them think about your question and reply with an email.
As you answer each email with another question, the responder should begin to act on your remedy without even realizing it. While you may not receive direct credit for the change in procedure, you will be recognized for the improvement in morale and efficiency. Good Luck.
Realize that every one and every situation is different. Everyone has not had the same experiences as you have had, so try not to base everything on how you would solve it.
