Hello from San Diego EMT

[ALOC]

Hello all:

I'm a 21 yr old EMT soon to be paramedic student here to learn all I can from other excellent EMS professionals, see you all around!

Any tips and tricks veteran medics can provide to me regarding surviving paramedic school will be greatly appreciated! Hopefully as school goes on I can share my expanding knowledge with others.

One of the first questions I have is regarding the paramedic entrance interview- what were your experiences like and what are some common questions I might come across? I think I might start a discussion about this in the eduction/training forum.

thanks in advance for your feedback

Beatings and hallucinations! (greetings and salutations) Welcome to the City!

My experience from when I did mine, and when I conduct them, is the technical focus in on BLS...don't worry about ALS stuff, in theory you shouldn't know it yet. That's why you are going into class :wink: . Good luck, dress nicely (if not in class "A" uniform). Get a good nights sleep, and remember...take big crap before hand--it will take care of any pre-interview tachycardia & HTN!
