I'm in Paramedic school now. Just finished the 1st semester with a 3.58 GPA, which I think isn't too bad I am an Enhanced and when this first year is up, I plan on testing out for Intermediate. Then i'll just have 2 more semesters left for Paramedic.
As everyone else has stated, the main things are STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!!! and FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!!! Put everything else on hold!!!! We were interviewed going into this program and they basically told us that you will have no life other than the paramedic program........they were right!!!
I don't get to clean my house like I used to or go out and do things like I used to do before school ......but I know in the end, it will be worth it.
I try to study everyday, sometimes several hours a day. I take alot of notes and find online quizzes to take.
I say go for it! But be prepared, it's alot of work!
GOOD LUCK!!
