Hello!

[brookeemt]

Good morning everyone!

I'm new to this site along with being new to the EMS world! I've been thinking about joining for awhile now and hope to finally begin my classes in September. With a 7 month old baby at home I'm not sure that now it the right time.

You should be able to do you classes without a problem even with your baby at home. Clinicals might be a little more tricky.

Paramedic might be a bit more difficult.

Breastfeeding might be a little more logistically difficult as well unless you pump but clinicals for medic should also be doable as well.

IF you want something bad enough, anything is possible.

The Capt. is right. EMT class is simple enough that it shouldn't be a problem at all. Even clinicals shouldn't be that difficult depending on how many hours are required. Good luck.

Welcome,

If you like EMS, then go for it! There are always reasons to put off what we want to do. You should be able to move through basic with ease.

It is good to have you.

I had a baby in my 1st semester of my 2nd year of Paramedic school. It is a challenge, but doable

[paramedicmike]

Really, Mobey? What'd your wife say about that?
