After 6 years of being out of the field, I walked out of the cognitive this AM and thought there was absolutely no way I passed. Somehow I did. Now to figure out where to take the psychomotor since there's no tests in Az for the next year or if I'm qualified for a provisional cert.

Better make sure you're on time for that one. Sounds like they're keeping track. I took an ED scribe job today in other news. So exciting... Ha. Start a new semester tomorrow, training for the ED scribe spot on Tuesday, medic nremt is Thursday and move on Friday. Such an exciting week.

Click medic, then it's the first pdf listed under each category. https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/document/psychomotor-exam

Does just up the hill mean you're enjoying this 70 degree Thanksgiving weather or more like Flag's low 50's? Lol Afaik for reciprocity, they require nremt. I don't think we acknowledge any states. It's basically get nremt, apply to az and done. It's simple enough if you kept your nremt. Which...

Not for medic. I was under the impression they never did for medic, but I'm gonna be annoyed if I missed it. Lol Looks like it's just EMT and AEMT from what I just read. That's one of the issues; there's only three centers open in all of Phoenix. Ah well, I got my handy dandy Kaplan prep book...

Well, after 67 days of fighting with the NREMT, I got my authorization to test today! No tests dates are open in my area until late January... 🙃 Glad I spent so much time prepping while waiting on the NR to sit around and wait again, lol.

Cool, thank you! This is why you guys are the best. I've been looking a bit and I think I'm going to get Garcia's. Nothing wrong with a lot of practice. Lol I still remember some basics from interpretation, just been many years since I've done it. I signed up for a medic refresher back in...

Well, after four years out of the field, this guy is going through the medic re-entry process. Submitted my app for the NREMT back in September and it's still pending, though, so that's fun. Ha Anyone recommend some refresher 12 lead books for me? Take ACLS at the end of the month, so that...

A gent I used to work with would do a modified 2 handed seal even when he was the only person bagging. He'd basically look like he was duck winging it and held the seal with both hands, squeezing the bag with his elbow between his abdomen. Was always super interesting to watch. I managed to try...

Oh and Happy 4th to all the US based ones on here. Hope some of ya get a relaxing day off!

My mother has a story she loves recounting; got asked what I wanted to be when I was older when I was about 8. I responded with "well, a college student". The person (can't remember who it was) said "what about after?" I apparently acted like it was the day I found out Santa wasn't real and was...

In my area, SOP was a LEO would do a pat down. Now, I've never seen it happen, but I doubt anyone I worked with would've been cognizant enough to do that themselves if PD happened to arrive a significant amount of time after us, myself included; but I worked in Phoenix, so arguably it was a few...

It's truly not that bad. I was nearly finished with my emergency ops degree anyways, so just added a class for that. The biotech degree is built into it already, so no extra coursework. The program is highly chem intensive, so that minor is nearly built into it (just had to add ochem, which I...

Kinda forgot to have basic mannerisms in that post and say thanks for the well wishes 😂 sorry. Hope everything is going well with you as well and I do appreciate the kind words! I'm sure once I'm further in the program, I'll be on here more. Spend 2 years of the program on a research project...

Hopefully! Busy, busy though. I'd like to say I'm killin it right now, but I think it's more the vice versa lol. Full time student, part time work, got involved with some clubs at school, still trying to volunteer and plan a wedding (guess it's been a hot minute, since I've been on here, got...
