Suggestions, info, tuition, etc. Throw stuff at me

 

Skyline has a paramedic program

 

EMT program not medic unfortunately. Closest CCs are CCSF and Foothill. Foothill requires you to be on a list and try to get high on that list....

 

try for foothill!

 

Ncti or south city IMO... I went to Santa Cruz but their tuition has doubled since I went there, it's over 25 grand now which is ***ing retarded when foothill is 4 grand. I think ncti will be faster than the community colleges.

Faster the better, means you get to work sooner. Saving 6 months will make you 20-30 grand assuming you get a job.

 

I highly recommend NCTI Livermore. I am still in the didactic portion of the program and have had a great experience so far. It is a fast rate program and decently priced compaired to other Paramedic Programs. They also do payment plans which is great for those who can't forkout a ton of cash upfront.

 

my roomie is doing emt training at mission or evergreen. i forget. but i can ask him.

 

What is the difference between a medic and an emt?

 

Seriously?

 

Yes. What's the diferance between a paramedic and an emt.

 

If you can find someone that works at foothill or knows someone that work there you'd be amazed at how fast you'll get in!

 

Westmed College in San Jose has a program for ya.

 

EMT= emergency medical technician, Paramedic is an EMT-P , for paramedic, there is EMT-B or basic, EMT -A or advanced .

 

Sorry man, I thought you were joking. EMT-B is basically the ambulance driver and the Paramedic gets to do the fun stuff like intubation, IV's, defibrillation and emergency medicine.

Paramedic is definitely more advanced than a EMT is.

 

When you are in great pain, an EMT is allowed to comfort you with words. A paramedic can give you drugs!
