JCicco345 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I've offically passed the written portion of the NREMT-P exam. I'm taking the practical in June, coming up quick. Excited to be done with everything, so I can upgrade and start working as a medic. But I live in lovely massachusetts so i still have the state written and practical, should be done with everythig by mid-july. Such a long process.
EMSjay Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 congrats... What medic program did you do? I am looking into a few in Massachusetts and am having a hard time deciding
Dustdevil Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 congrats... What medic program did you do? I am looking into a few in Massachusetts and am having a hard time deciding That's easy. Go to the one that is accredited! Ooops... that's right. NONE of the medic schools in Mass are accredited. Congrats, JC! You're past the hard part now. Too bad you want to waste it all as a firemonkey. :wink:
JCicco345 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 OEMS has the list of all their accredited courses. I went to Massbay, it's a good program, college credits, great clinical sites and ride time. Our program director left right after our class finished and i don't know the new guy too well, but the practical instructors are awesome. I wouldn't do northeastern, everyone seems to look at them but they charge about $17,000, compared to massbays $7000. As for MassBay they have a fulltime class starting in Sept, it's mon-thurs i believe for 9 months, or there is the part time class starting in Jan, it is tuesday and thursday nights until november and then its 3 nights a week for clinicals until april. I did the part time class because i was still working full time and had a part time job to pay for the school, I loved the class though. I am going to be a firemonkey eventually, but I am keeping my job on the ambulance. My initial reason for getting my EMT was to get a fire job. I ended up falling in love with EMS and i will never give it up. I wouldn't go through the last year and a half to get my medic to go sit in a fire house somewhere and do nothing with it. I am excited about being a medic.
