r/paramedicstudents

My friend and I are looking for students, EMT and Paramedic, that are looking for tutoring. Both of us are full time paramedics and nationally certified. We are offering personalized tutoring so you get the help on the topics that YOU are needing help with. We are wanting to help others because we remember what it was like going through school, and needing a little extra help, hearing something from someone else, or explained in a different way that clicked. We would love to help! Find us on Facebook or Reddit, and give a follow and send us a message. We cannot wait to hear from you! u/motivatedmedics Motivated Medics on Facebook!!

I'm about to be opened to schedule OR shifts to try and get my first live tube and it's honestly intimidating the hell out of me. I've been an EMT for 10 years done ER, IFT, 911, events, construction sites etc. I've done some really really cool stuff and definitely some things more technically challenging but always a part of a team. Heck I've dropped LMAs in codes. But thinking about being at the head of the bed by myself with everyone looking at me and then like fumbling through an airway before being kicked off honestly scares the shit out of me. Id almost rather have my first tube be an emergent one, this just feels like it's going to be the ultimate evolution of my public speaking fear.

Id love any tips, stories, suggestions etc. I'm doing 5-10 tubes on the mannequins every lecture day just trying to build the muscle memory.

Hi everyone ,

Just wondering if anyone knows the app that helps choosing CTAS, I believe you had to pay for a subscription but just looking for something I can pull up on my phone to get better with it. Any resources are helpful!

Hey all.

I am a RN looking to move into Paramedicine. I cant find any clear information on the difference between outcomes of doing a masters vs a Graduate Diploma of paramedicine.

Is there any drawbacks to employment options of either course?? What are the eventual outcomes??

Hey so I'm a paramedic student about to be halfway done just go through my respiratory and vent section just waiting on my exam for it, I got a year of pocket prep, and yeah I'm passing it overall, but some of these questions are just straight up wrong?

I've been in healthcare since 2023, EMT for almost 3 years and currently in a trauma center as a Tech. I feel like my knowledge is there, but man these paramedic questions on pocketprep are just like, a sketchy guy telling me to go down an alley way rather than a good learning tool?

I currently have a 91% in my paramedic course, been going through pretty nicely but pocketprep I see a good amount of questions where I straight up disagree for the answer, or the answer is something really vague on purpose?

Sorry for the rant, but anyone having the same issue?

I’ve worked through an EMT-B program through my high school and will be able to take national registry in roughly 3 weeks just before graduation. I’m trying to figure what comes next and am searching for different paramedic programs. Many of the community colleges in my area (East of Dallas) offer an AAS of EMS/Paramedicine separate from their traditional ~9 month certification programs. Would it be worth it to pursue these programs or would it be better to work towards a standard Associates Degree after the 9 month program? My only concern is a lack of options if I want to step out of EMS later in life

Edit: The AAS is a technical degree and is not set up to transfer for a BS. The standard Associates degree is meant to transfer to a 4-year institute.
