Welcome! What section of Ill.?

Awesome, I have lots of family/contacts spread across southern Il. Thats why I was asking.

(You all consider anything south of Chicago as southern, right? )

Welcome, dive in and have fun.

[Fireguy181]

Well thank ya, and yea that seems to be the mindset out here. I would call anything South of I80 the "sticks"

Its alright Im very lucky to live rural and work Urban

Hey man, welcome to the City! And good on you for your decision to continue on to medic. What kind of a program are you taking?

Jump in, be brave, ask, answer, learn, teach. The value here is very much diluted if you are simply a bystander.

Good to have you..

Thanks for the kind welcome! I am taking the course through the Mother hospital for our EMS system. I decided it was a good time to take it before the curriculum changed and they reuired a whole mess of hours and college credits. The course actually just started so with any luck I might be done in December

[DwayneEMTP]

Yeah, don't want to take a chance on getting hung up on all of those silly college credits!

Good luck.
