PCP Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Only thing I can suggest is talk to the school you are planning on going to and get a list of books you need and look online at Chapters if there is one in your area or what ever large book store you have and they can order them in for you possibly cheaper than purchasing them through the college. Good luck on your adventure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chbare Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Do you live in the United States? If so, it appears you may have some language issues. You may be better off taking developmental classes prior to starting paramedic school. While much of the curriculum is not particularly advanced in terms of using language, terminology and so on, you may be at a significant disadvantage. I am not trying to be hurtful; however, I would hate to see you set up to fail due to inadequate linguistic prowess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobey Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) i was rushing to type the message while trying to put 2 kids to bed a 3year old and a 10 month old sorry bro but i do see were you are coming from and im all about feed back in makes a person learn and do better Good then, I'll help you out with this reply as I have put my 3 to bed. I was rushing to type the message while trying to put 2 kids to bed, a 3year old, and a 10 month old, sorry bro. But I do see were you are coming from and I'm all about feed back, it makes a person learn and do better. It would be helpful if you took a college level A&P course to start. Not only will it put you're brain in "student" mode, but will give you the best foundation possible to build your degree program on.

Krysteen Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 As far as books your class list is best to go off of. However, one book I purchased on my own and still pull out til this day is "Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, 6th Ed., Dale Dubin. I'm more of a cardiac kind of girl. Kudos on deciding to further your education:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramedicmike Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'll second the idea of a college level A&P course. Also, there is a lot of writing involved in EMS. An English or composition course might do well for you, too. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Plain Ruff Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 You have until next august for medic school Good deal. Here is what you should do. Enroll in either a university or a community college. Take the following courses College level A&P College algebra English composition underwater basket weaving (that's a freebie) and a physical fitness class. Get those classes under your belt and you will be way way way ahead of the game. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcripp Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 An instructor friend of mine were just discussing the best "library" that could be built that didn't include a paramedic text book.
