Hello!

Hello All!

Just found and joined this site - it looked like a place I might find some answers! I just certified as an EMT-B over the summer and went from that right into the Paramedic program. I love school and I love working clinical hours... I think I've finally found something I will enjoy doing for a while

I'm currently attend school in Fort Wayne Indiana but as soon as I'm done in December 2012, I will be moving to the Lynchburg Virginia area. School, clinical hours and raising two kids on my own is about all I can handle at one time, so I'm not currently affiliated with a local service.

I have done several hours of research on the types of services in the Lynchburg area and haven't been able to find much outside of a few volunteer services. I know the local hospital there has an ambulance service but, can't find any other information about it. I'm feeling like my chances of graduating, moving and getting a job as a Paramedic right away with no experience outside of clinicals is a shot in the dark. If there is anyone here from Virginia that would be willing to give me some pointers, I'd be forever grateful!

Stay safe out there!
