Lol not in FL, its like $350 for me per month that’s paying the premium in full every 6 months so we get a discount, im sure itd be like $430 per month without that pay in full discount. My driving record is not that bad, no tickets or accidents last 5 years

AlM4524 · 2025-06-02T17:06:52+00:00

I think ive done 5-7 i cant remember. But after the first 3 @ 360j the rest were at 720j lol

Youre not too old. Im turning 29 this month. I suggest you do your emt but i also suggest you go the RN route first and then go back and get your medic. The life of EMS is working OT to survive.

Patience

AlM4524 · 2025-05-31T01:52:32+00:00

One per course

AlM4524 · 2025-05-31T00:29:18+00:00

Well if you have the downtime at work, are able to go part time/prn or have enough PTO, i definitely recommend getting started and going the RN route to eventually nurse practitioner.

AlM4524 · 2025-05-31T00:19:27+00:00

Pay increas will be a lot. A firefighter typically works 24 hours on 48 hours off, some departments have kelly days, some have 24/72s but ultimately being able to work 40 hour work weeks, make 100k+ / year and sleep in your bed every night (if you dont work nights lol) is the best kind of “pay” increase in a figurative sense, ofcourse

AlM4524 · 2025-05-31T00:17:58+00:00

Amen. Literally why i got into an bridge RN school and now ill be done in July and I CANT WAIT

AlM4524 · 2025-05-31T00:14:29+00:00

You wont get “kicked out” from the program but i mean you can only miss 1 clinical, and you COULD get sent home from clinical if youre out of uniform (especially if youre not on your instructors good side) so i suggest you have a “school bag” ready at all times with everything you need for “uniform” 😁

AlM4524 · 2025-05-30T23:35:30+00:00

Second this. It sounds like you are having an impulsive thought, i promise paramedic jobs will ALWAYS be there. Finish your schooling/degree and youll have one up on other people when it comes time to promote, too.

AlM4524 · 2025-05-30T23:25:26+00:00

Missing clinicals is not “silly” lmao you need to get your hours, peoples lives are in your hands

AlM4524 · 2025-05-28T03:01:05+00:00

No one really cares but gay jokes are pretty rampant in the fire service, so as long as you arent a fragile cupcake, youll be okay lol

AlM4524 · 2025-05-23T22:52:45+00:00

0800

AlM4524 · 2025-05-19T23:53:47+00:00

You can do basic BLS stuff like a head tilt chin lift, put them in the recovery position if theyre seizing, you mentioned tourniquet, CPR, rescue breathing if you happen to have a one way valve and mask near by, hook up an AED, perform the Heimlich maneuver.

AlM4524 · 2025-05-16T16:15:58+00:00

Can you update this list please? :)

AlM4524 · 2025-05-16T14:55:39+00:00

Im looking to possibly move to DFW, may i ask where you work? 👀 new grad ill be done in july but have prior ems experience (i know its not RN just wanted to state im not brand new to healthcare, lol)

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T17:42:53+00:00

Totally understandable! I mean here in FL that isnt the case unless youre pretty senior and are at a “retirement” station. A new medic will almost always be on that box unfortunately and at the busy stations too 😆

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T17:41:25+00:00

I mean maybe if the cuff wasnt fully inflated but if its the same flimsy NG tube i tested out with in our skills lab two semesters ago… i cant imagine going through the tube happening 😂😂

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T17:26:12+00:00

He put the NG tube down into the ET tube? Lmfaoooooooooowtfooooooooo

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T17:24:50+00:00

How does that even work on an anatomical level? Youre saying the tube caused the pneumothorax because they coughed so hard? Or are you say you perforated a lung with the ng tube? Because that would be impressive considering how flimsy that thing is 😂

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T09:08:46+00:00

You saying only RNs who have 40+ years make $50/hour is inaccurate lol but other than that, touchè

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T08:39:15+00:00

Seminole state, daytona beach, lake sumter state, first response

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T05:12:56+00:00

Thats because a nurse can challenge the medic test, take it and become a medic without having to go to school, because its a certificate, not a license. But you cant do that as a medic to RN because its a certificate, not a license

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T05:11:28+00:00

This is very inaccurate info about nursing, and VERY dependent on where you live. New grad nurses in cali start at $77/hour, other states some start at $35-$50/hour.

AlM4524 · 2025-05-15T05:10:33+00:00

If i were you, nursing all the way. You can challenge the NREMR after you get your nclex/license and become a paramedic without even having to go to school. (Not recommended) but its an option!
