What does a "work experience" class consist of?

Hi island emt,

Basically I get college credit for working. 1 unit every 75 hours, with a max of 4 units a semester. My employer has given me certain objectives to complete at work during the semester and she will evaluate my performance (on completion and quality) and report back to my instructor at the end of the semester. Also during the semester, there are assignments from the sylubus that need to be turned in by their due date, such as this informational interview.

Man, I've never heard of that, but if it's closely monitored to prevent people having their plumber dad let them sit home on the couch, I like it a lot...

I usually don't answer questionnaire's until the third or fourth date. But welcome!

7. Which skills do you feel are most important to acquire?
Adult life experience, compassion, a desire to care for people instead of simply treat them. (Sounds like a bunch of rah rah bullshit, I know, but I truly believe that decent paramedic medicine arrises from these.)

A bunch of rah rah bullshit, my ass! Dwayne, don't dilute your statement. Life experience helps a medic understand how and why we see patients in the ups and downs of life. "There but for the grace of God, go I" It's true. Compassion and caring for people...cornerstones of quality patient care. Now I'm not diminishing the fact that we are all some pretty darn macho manly-men and womanly-womens with swaggering courage oozing from our pores. But we are also in touch with our sensitive side and gosh darn it, we're comfortable with that. Right? Darn tootin we are!
