Hello!
I've been Wanting to get my paramedic for a long time..its WAY over due..
I'm looking at an online program that is ten months long. It's on a weekly schedule where all assignments are due sunday at midnight. So it's pretty fast paced. School of EMS.
So I would have to work , and it would be working three ( consecutive) twelve hour shifts a week , that would leave 4 days a week for lectures, reading , research papers and eventually clinicals.. Leaving three days a week to study
Working three days a week would leave me with very little money. Like bils, rice, and gas.. I could work four days a week , and my bills would be taking care of but three days a week for paramedic school doesn't really seem logical to me.. And that's not counting when doing clinical once a week.
So what do you guys think ? 4 days a week available to study and do clinicals? And while i'm at work(IFT) , I can do flash cards (medic test) and listen to audiobook while i'm driving ?
Doable? What's your story working through paramedic school?
I need some inspiration.
Thinking about relocating for a job.. It's a pretty large county that the e m s service covers...
Is there a reason to not live in the county that you're going to work?
