Yea I agree with everyone above that while it does depend on the person it is ALOT. I have a friend who did it and I asked her and she said if she could go back she wouldn't have tried to do all that. It was too much at one time and she spent a lot of time being stressed.
Absolutely. I wouldn’t recommend it for most. I was blessed to have the college less than a mile from work, my best freind doing the same program at the same time and the absolute best preceptor I could ask for. And I didn’t have the choice to slack off of work, it was my true career and no one supports me but me. If it had been 55 hours of course/homework instead of patient care that paid my mortgage I don’t know if I would have kept up!
Depends on the undergraduate study and your ability to seriously multitask. That said…. Yes it’s probably too much. There’s only so many hours to a day and the paramedic classes, required ride alongs and ancillary requirements will consume MUCH of your time. Little free time left to devote to other class work.
Depends, are you going to be working full time as well? How many hours a week do you need to devote to your undergraduate studies? What’s your level of commitment (are you going to stick with it if you have time for almost nothing else?). I did an evening/weekend paramedic program while working about 55 hours a week in office and doing all of my studying/homework/more working from the station between calls. I would say if you think the paramedic program is going to be a challenge for you it may be too much, for me it was simply time management, I could have done without the class time and just read the protocols and done the tests/calls. I had a better understanding of anatomy, physiology etc than most of my instructors so it was basically learning what it was legal for me to do in capacity as a paramedic which I’d already absorbed much of when learning the protocols as an EMT.
All of that to say, only you know your strengths/discipline level going in and your tolerance for being constantly busy. If you are able to flip the switch and say “I can do anything for 18 months” and thrive being busy you can probably do it.
Balancing paramedic training with undergraduate studies can be challenging, as both are demanding. It’s possible, but be prepared for a heavy workload and intense time management. Consider part-time studies or spacing them out if needed. Prioritize self-care to avoid burnout.
