I just received an email from a good friend of mine, a friend who has been a true cheerleader throughout my career change endeavor. He read my post from a few days ago where I mentioned that I was not going to apply to medic school this year and via email, proceeded to chew my ass.
“What do you mean you’re not going to medic school?”, he ranted in a lengthy email. “You’re an idiot! You quit a great job to follow this path and now you’re not going follow through?”
Whoa. Chill turbo. I just said I’m not applying to medic school this year, here in the PNW. I doubt we’ll be living here in a year, and if we are…well, then I’ll apply then.
OK? So yes, I’m still planning on applying to Medic School, just not this April 1st.
One of the problems staying here for medic training is that Medic One requires 3 years as an EMT. 3 consecutive years! They do pay $26.00 an hour for 10 months of training though. Moving may be a good option.MC or Jane.
Agreed. I was planning on Tacoma, but I don’t want to start the application process, or worse… get accepted and start class and then say, “Oh…thanks, but I’m moving.”And I have ZERO interest in working for Medic One. Great system, just not for me.
