What do you think?

Posted almost 6 years ago Okay, so I am starting college in the fall at Suny Canton, for nursing. The first semester I have to take Introduction to Chemistry, and Intermediate Algebra because I didnt take them in highschool. Becuase those are the two classes I'm taking at first someone informed me that I could take an EMT course the first semester. I have always been interested but with school never had the time to take the course at a local rescue squad or anything (and I just turned 18 iin february haha). But anyway, I was just wondering what you all thought about taking those two classes and the EMT course at the same time. I've had some people tell me go ahead, go for it, it'll be good! Then others tell me I'm basically crazy, I wont be able to handle it, and its not smart. I think it would be fun, and good for me. I mean by the time I have my RN I will hae had experience as a CNA and an EMT, and those jobs to fall back on during school. I desperately need help! Thank you so much! |

| Posted almost 5 years ago You definately have good intentioins and could make it happen. however, to hanndle such a load you will have to be very determined and prepared for the load. my husy did the emt course and it demands alot from you. and also keep in mind that the chemistry call also consist of a lab . Personally i think if you plan on doing it you can, but working is not an option. you need to get a grade of B or higher in your chem and algebra so that you have a greater chance of being picked for te nursing program, among other things.
GoodLuck

| Posted almost 5 years ago makw the right decision. before my husy took the emt i was questioning ppl about it an i came a cross quite a few people who took the course and never worked as one. You will quicker get a job as a CNA plus you can get ur CNA licence in less than half the time as the EMT and you will get started off with more money. plus the schedule is more flexable with school, make the right choice. you are doing the right thing by asking arround but just weigh your options |
