in a sense i feel a lil bad for the kids right out of high school. Because they really dont take it seriously. They dont have the real world experiences that can truly help you put it all together. Some of the local township stations are so low on ppl that they are hiring straight from high...

well, to be honest I read the brady book, and glanced at the Kaplan study guide. I took the test, had 120 questions with about 45 minutes left and passed. Just got all my registry and state cards in. I cant verify or demean any of the paid study aid systems as i did not use any however I do say...

So i took the test today. Did 120 questions in all. Was a total nervous wreck. Even saw a question twice. but all in all it was cool..... CAUSE I PASSED!!!!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!!!! I know some of you have helped me to this point - Thanks a bunch.

25 hours total clinical required. 10 ER 10 city fire/ems 5 private ambulance company and i had to tube a dummy in my skills assesments for registry.

well, not so much. The pt has to be without pulse or repirations - and advised by med control. There have been a few i have heard about, but most were just situations were they took advantage of a situation for training. One guy I know did his first ET tube in while being a emt-b student doing...

In Ohio time, that was 5:45 am to 10:22 am. And thanks for being "that guy" to bring everyone down. I felt unprepared and was venting. Thanks for your support. I really didnt need to worry at all. But i did work hard to get there, just as all of us have. You may not remember what it was like to...

well, test over. not feeling to bad about it. waiting for results. Yeah, in ohio we are different. We can even still ET tube as a basic. But they let us do the Skills before the final. wait, heres the tests I PASSED!!!! YEAH!!!!! THANKS EVERYBODY!

Dayton, OHIO NREMT-B SCHEDULE Well, i have my 2 cents. Started on March 28th through June 10th. I attend lecture on mon / weds from 0900 till 1200 (10 hours a week) then a lab session on sat 0900 till 1300 for a total of 15 contact hours a week. Thats a total of 175 college contact hours...

so hi, IM FREAKING OUT HERE!!! Today is my final. in our class you have to hold a minimum 80% on the 9 section tests and homeworks - then you are allowed to take the final that you must get a minimum 80% on individually. I finished the coarse work at an 86% and dont feel bad about my...

let me reread the sticky and update as needed.

So heres my question. what types of questions are on the test? are the facts or narratives, or both?

do you have a family? i know you said something about family insurance. If so - keep the psych job. I will always advise more money when kids are around. It might not seem like much - but that cash will add up and then you have a new stress to worry about.just remember that emt-p school is only...

And which book did you use? i used the Brady book they have a chart in the vitals chapter for general numbers and another in the infant and children chapter that breaks down the numbers for all the under 18 groups. other than that - practice! im spending extra ER and ride along hours just...

well im using the 1400 page brady book and reading it cover to cover. in class we discuss the tools and how to use them then our labs are scenario based. i also keep an eye on the scenerio section of forums to keep testing and learning new stuff.

so heres the thing. at a big hospital like that how many people do you think the HR guy sees and hears from all the time. Maybe when he saw you he remembered your face but not your name kind of a deal. Stayh positive and im sure it will work out in due time. also, have you been volenteering...
