NREMT-Basic Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Well...now I've gone and done it! I have finally taken COMPLETE leave of my senses and will start the 18 month paramedic school process the 2nd week of September. No... I don't know what moved me to such insanity either. Maybe I just decided that since I like to make snarky comments anyway, I may as well go ahead and become a paragod so that occassionally someone will agree with me. Wish me luck, send me your crib sheets and light a candle for my soul, if thats the way you roll. PS- I haven't been around for a very long time because my quality made Dell Inspiron 1100 overheated to the point where the hard drive/case actually split open and died and I have to go to the public library and wait in line for my two hours a day of computer time. It's now being used as a bookend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasdame Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Congrats. I also start back in my 18 month L O N G medic program this fall. I took two classes last fall and quit b/c I started a new job. Now I have to pick up where I left off. I think the long programs are good. You should feel confident when you graduate! Best wishes. Peg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peg Peg- thanks for the kind words and best wishes right back at ya. We will have to stay in touch for periodic sanity checks. Like you, I also like the long programs. I think the boot camp styles should not be accredited in anyway as I have worked with some of the medics they produce and most of them can barely start a hydration line. Unlike some other aspects of life, faster does not mean better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaisu Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Good luck with medic school - you will love it - definitely a high point in my life. Regarding your Dell.. I called up customer service telling them my dell was overheating and that I wanted it fixed. It took 4 days, but eventually they sent me a brand new one free. Google dell and overheating. Dont tell them that your system is busted - tell them you work with it - it overheats and freezes - and you just want it fixed. Those things are a danger and Dell wants them out of your hands.. I have a brand new laptop to replace the one that was 7 years old - and all I really wanted was for them to fix mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call maybe you will get a new comp. Hey Basic join the club. I am hopefully going to finish mine by the end of the year if I don't quit first. :shock: :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
