My daughter took her EMT-B at a community college and had a very hard time. She actually ended up taking the whole class over (after getting a 79.9 her teacher wouldnt round that to an 80, I was quite upset) with an Ambulance service and passed with flying colors, so after her experiance, I would suggest really looking into the college and Ambulance services before you make a desicion

As a nurse working around so many people everyday, I agree that People with any infectuous disease should not be in the health care field at all, if its a danger to them, obviously it will be a danger to not only us, but pts.
