Medic School.

Medic School. So I feel I have been stuck in a job rut for too long. Yes the Nurse tech thing was a very good starting point. Got my CNA in 2006 and my Patient Care Tech in 2007. I have been working as a PCT for 6 years now and while I like my co workers, I am over my job. It is now a task to go to work, not just part of my day. I want to start moving to my goal (which is to be a flight medic and work out of helicopter, and yes I know it is hard to get into, but hey I gotta have goals, right?) I got my EMT in Jan 2013 and have been working to get into the field so I can start medic school. But sadly I have applied three times to the only ambulance company in Tucson and all three times they say no. Ugh! Even volunteer work would be amazing through an Emergency Room, Search and rescue, Fire Dept, anything!!! But I don’t know where to start :/ I know this is something I want to do. I have worked with the paramedics in the Emergency Room and I like what they do. I know that I could do that if I got burnt out in the field or if I didn't like the flight part of medic. And every EMT/Paramedic/Teacher I have talked to have told me to get some box experience (working out of an ambulance) for at least 6 months to a year before applying. So again, what do I do or where do I even start? Blah!
