I have been an EMT-B for 5 yrs now and I'm wanting to go to paramedic school. I'm planning on going to a college for my training instead of the local program so I can get a grant or scholarship to pay for it. The problem I'm running into is that there is nothing available for a working mom of 3. There is alot available out there if I wanted to be something higher than a paramedic. I don't want that. My place is in the pre-hospital field. If anyone knows of any, please tell me. The next class starts in Aug. 2011 and I need to have Intro to A&P done first so I need to get moving as I'm sure the class size is limited. Thanks

Volunteering or working in a hospital as an aide are wonderful ways to gain experience. You don't necessarily need experience to be and aid. It might depend on where you are. I have both volunteered and worked as an aid and it gave me great insight on how the pre-hospital and hospital settings work. I started out as a volunteer and I'm glad. I realized that I wanted to do this job because I love it and not because it's a paycheck
