I was EMS back when it was an 81 hour course! 
Careful Becky -- You are showing your age (I too am an 81 hour course medic).  LOL

    I have probably been a Paramendic for at least as long as anyone else here, ( I just had my 30th yr. anniversary, OMG!), but I don't remember any 80 hr. or so Paramedic course. (Pls correct me if I am wrong!).  They said "EMS", perhaps talking about an EMT or Advaced First Aid Course? .  When I started in EMS, the only requrement to staff an ambulance was that at least one of the people had to be an EMT.  (And THAT was an improvement, prior to that, it was just Advanced First Aid).  Does anyone else have some "back in the day .." stories?

Rick

BTW  Best of luck to everyone in reaching their goals!
