Zero to hero minimal 911 experience. Need advice for that confidence of being lead Please only positive responses.. THANKS!!

120- failed, 2nd try @ 72 - Basic 150- Medic (1st try)

I actually like the old school ones where there is no safety guard and the needle just comes straight out. I had no troubles with those IV setups.

These are the ones. Actually got a 20g in a pts hand last night. Technique is everything... I am now always advancing the catheter all the way before retracting my needle.

Seem to shear the vein more often with them when i'm trying to pull back the needle to lock it while advancing the cath

Let me hear em'! Having trouble with these caths

I know this has been asked before but, I'm just curious to see what people say. Stethoscope- of course Trauma shears Pen light etc..

They are hard! We have to pass them to pass our class. 75 questions allowed to take them twice. Wonder if the second try is the same questions since you can't look at what you got wrong?

How many questions are each one?

Any1 have experience with taking them?

Anyone currently working or have worked for them in the past that can give insight on the testing for the Medic 1 position? Skills look simple and straight forward The written exam is just like the national registry? confirm? Any help, advice, insight would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Is it possible to test out as aemt while in paramedic school? I put out the money to become an aemt before i got into paramedic school....

Acadian is a good company to work for especially for new emt and paramedic persons with no experience

Share your tips please for the interview! thanks
