Dameser32 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm Finally Into Emt class. I already took fire one and two. This is nothing like I expected. Hopefully things will start to grab my interest. Was it like this for most everyone or just me. I'm about a month in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dameser, If you "finally just got into" your class, seems as though you had some interest or desire. What were you expecting when you went into this? I am not being sarcastic, I am just curious. Perhaps you are taking this course because you have to be cross trained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take this the wrong way, but this is the main reason I tell people to go for a ride a long before they make their mind up about entering the program. If it does not interest you a) You don't put in the effort needed and the chances of continuing education and self learning after the course is minimal. Are you just entering this as a pre-requisite for a fire department? It sounds to me like this was a forced decision to enter the program. If it is just a pre requisite then you are going to have to suffer through it. I also have no idea where your thought pattern comes from that this course would be anything like a fire training course. Good luck with it.

Dustdevil Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 EMT school was nothing like the fire academy for me, because the fire academy was five times as long and ten times as hard. It was longer than paramedic school too, and at least twice as hard. Although, it seems that most fire academies are a joke compared to mine too. So yeah, I can see why people -- especially those who have no interest in it in the first place -- would not be motivated to take EMT school seriously. Someday, maybe EMT school will actually involve enough stimulating education that people will either take it seriously or flunk. Not anytime soon though.

Hopefully things will start to grab my interest. Was it like this for most everyone or just me. I'm about a month in. Well, I know that my EMT class was nothing like I thought it would be. It was way to superficial and a large portion of my classmates left a lot to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBEMT Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Sounds like your better off staying a hose monkey. EMS is not for everyone. Another new member made to feel welcome. I love it. Myself, I've often found that very intelligent people find material that is not to their level to be extremely dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope this guy fits your idea instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjaemtff Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 seems to me that if you don't have an iinterestin it already, that you might as well quit while you are ahead. ems isisn'tor everyone. and if you stay with it and don't develop an interest for it, there goes your money down the drain, along with your time.

Quicksilver Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 if it is not what you expected, what did you expect. My first semester was basically a repeat of first responder. you have to start at the beginning. ems is not all blood and guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
