Paramedic students have reported struggling with:
Time management. Each week, you’ll have class, study time, clinical rotations, and often a job to balance. Be prepared to put your social life on hold and cut out nonessentials. Paramedic school is not the time to make major life changes such as moving or getting married.
Cardiology. Learn how to read an EKG and identify common rhythms. One commonly recommended resource is Rapid Interpretation of EKGs .
Drugs and pharmacology. During clinicals and field internships, you will be expected to know your medications thoroughly. Flashcards can help with actions, indications, doses, and contraindications.
People skills. If you enter paramedic school without street experience as an EMT, you may initially feel uncomfortable around patients and hospital personnel. This improves with practice, but you must ask for help when you need it.
As an EMS student, paramedic school will test the limits of your ability. Since it is such a large commitment, it is important to understand both the program requirements and your personal readiness, then take the steps necessary to close that gap.
