  5. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't say that right. It wasn't the older students that failed out of the class. They were the 18, 19 with a couple of 21 year olds that failed out. Me and a couple of other older students passed with flying colors! Lol! Tig :wink:
  6. I guess I got lucky then, from an older student perspective. My EMT-B class was as ya'll are describing; 58 students and most of them 18-20 somethings (3 weeks? My class was 4 months and over half flunked out! We graduated with 23.). My paramedic class, however, is small. We have 7 students now and will be down to 5 come May; 2 are leaving to go to nursing school. We range from 19 to 50 years old. We are starting Pharmacology/Cardiology today. I've noticed that we have formed a bond with our small group. We help each other study, and every one of us got upset when we thought one of the group might have failed out of A&P II last week. So yeah, I can honestly say that I'm having fun with this. My son is even talking about going to EMT-B class now. I'm glad to see that I still have an influence on his life, even at his "old age" of 23.
  7. I am a 44 year old, who is starting her life TOTALLY over. My husband passed away a year ago. I had let my license lapse, because he wanted me to stay at home. As he had put it, I had spent the last 14 years raising the kids and raising him, so now it was my turn to relax and do nothing. How little did we know! But I went back to Basic, passed with flying colors and was accepted into Paramedic school. I am about halfway through- we start Pharmacology Monday, then Cardiology in May. You are never too old to learn something new. I have to admit that I have enjoyed myself!
