I am also a paramedic and received the same email, I am confused though because the IdentoGo centers are closed so I’m not sure how they’re expecting us to get this done. There are no appointments available anywhere right now.

I did able to schedule appointment at 12250 Queenston Blvd location.

Don't even worry about that right now! You wouldn't even know where to start to be honest...LOL. Just focus on enjoying your last few weeks of freedom. The time for fire hose guzzling information is coming... dont you worry!

Do you class able to finish all of clinical hours yet? Do you know school plan for graduation?

We were out for 3-4 weeks after Spring break while they got their crap together. LSC extended the semester by 2 weeks, so instead of the 8th we finish on the 22nd. The governor and the BON relaxed some of the regulations on clinical requirements so that we were able to complete the rest online. Typically that wouldn't be allowed. You're only supposed to have so many clinical hours in simulation or online.

As for graduation/pinning.. its indefinitely postponed. They sent out a survey asking if we would rather have an online pinning or wait and maybe have a delayed trafitional pinning. The overwhelming response was that an online pinning would be a joke and completely pointless.

Only the paramedic received this email to submit fingerprints

[janemal]

If you received that email it’s a good sign. I remember getting them email for LVN program too and it was before the acceptance letter. So most likely you got accepted and the letters are coming this week

[drtt28]

Has anyone received acceptance emails for the transition program?

[janemal]

Not Me hoping to hear from them soon

My friend received an email from Montgomery stating that all schools are going to send the letters out within the next two weeks.

I agree. This waiting game slowly killing me but I have no other choice ?

Do you guy working now? How is your schedule hours and specialty area ?
I graduated last year as paramedic. I’m working as 911 responder now. My schedule is the same as Pre-COVID19. I work 24 hrs then 72 hrs off; and schedule rotate different every week.

I feel the same way. I don’t have much of choice, so I guess this period of time is teaching us a certain level of patience LOL.

My work schedule is fairly stable and my supervisor is willing to work around my school schedule. I work twelve hour shifts 3 days/week, so I’ll be staying full-time for the duration of school (if I get accepted). I’m sure you’ll be able - if you wanted to - to still work that same type of schedule OMG the program started.
