[QUOTE="Fran, post: 191073, member: 3"] Ok, you asked...... You have been in school for a bit. You studied phlebotomy, then prerequisite for nursing and now you are pondering paramedic school. If you were my child I would say, work a year and do your research on what is required to be a paramedic including job availability and income before making a choice. Figure out how you will get transportation or other obstacles that will stop you so you can complete the program once you start. Get some experience under your belt so you actually know what you want to do and how you can do it. This is what I have told my kids. Make a committment that you will finish regardless of any of your kids particular needs. Do phlebotomy in the ER. It will give you a better idea of what the paramedic job entails and see if it's where you want to be. If after you work for a year, you still want to do it then you will be prepared. If Nicole wants to be like you then let her see you make a balanced decision weighing pros and cons and complete something in addition to working to get to the next step. If you have a dream then follow it but don't do it in ignorance. Research and decide. Leave impulsiveness for the youngsters. So that's my opinion. It was free so you are welcome to throw it out.
