Yeah 80 is as low as you can get down here too. I shelled out $1500 for tuition so i refuse to not get an A. I'm doing a fast track program so that i can cover the one year licensure process in 10 weeks. Hopefully I will get into Paramedic school for this fall.

I prefer to wear brown shoes, I have noted higher lateral G's with the brown shoes although my white shoes generate more Horsepower I am sticking with brown.

damn... is it hard as ****, or pretty decent if you do your work? medic school here is 1 year long basically an internship at a local hospital. Im mostly scared of the "assessments" basically doing a step by step what to do, because my memory is not so good.

Yeah the practicals at the end of the semester are the only thing I'm kinda worried about only because it's basically an oral exam and I'm kinda nervous when it comes to being judged and scrutinized like that. I hope I pull something easy like chestpains and not something stupidly complicated like a KED extraction.

I'm just going through it. My sister and mom both have their emt-iv so I pretty much know what I'm in for it's just going through it all. Once I get into my first semester of medic I'm gonna start looking at which fire dept i wanna be with or if I just wanna stay at a 911 ambulance service and then move away to like Nashville or Chattanooga when I'm done.

Partially true. The minimum requirements are the same. Different states allow different things and as a result teach more. In Mississippi you are allowed the bare minimum and that's it. No oxygen, combitube or anything really, but in tennessee you are allowed to administer O2 insert a combitube and IV and use an AED but not allowed to administer meds use any ALS measures.
