Yeah, I went from EMTB to ASA Paramedic. It was really tough, but I think it was good. At least if you don't listen to the whackers that tell you that "experience before education is best as it's Cowboy shit that gets you through!"
I think I've become a decent medic without having a bunch of experience as a B, but you better have balls, because though you may make it through the didactic, the social pressure will be significant. Brains and then experience, or take the easy road....the choice is yours Brother...
