70 and passed. Thank you EMTlife and the posters.

I will agree with that. I finished highest in my class, though now that I think about it we didn't cover many things that I was asked on the test. Triage, Glasgow Coma Score and some others. I hope those were pilots because I don't think I got those right. Oddly I think I did well on the...

What about the thousands who are already working in the field who never had to take or pass the NREMT? What about those who do not accept the NREMT as being relevant? I don't want to say too much before I get my results. Though, I cannot believe it takes so long. We are in the computer...

The area I don't think I did well in is Operations. I know I missed a question in regards to PPE with a TB patient. If I did bomb one subject, is it possible to pass if I did well elsewhere? Also, what about repeat questions. I noticed that I got two questions that were exactly the same...

I just took my NREMT-B test today. Many questions I felt confident about my answers, however I just noticed one that I for sure answered incorrectly? Is it still possible to pass? Some questions seemed to easy, I am concerned this is because I failed so horribly that it gave me easy...

Thank you that does help. Our assigned book for my class was the Mosbys EMT-Basic 2nd edition. Not a great book IMO. I am not trying to blame the book or class, but I have found several contraditions between the book and the AHA. Ie; provide art. vent. and chest compressions on...

I understand, but like I said I wouldn't ask if I wasn't looking for some help in understanding. My instructor wasn't/isn't much help. My class was pretty much read out of your text book, then answer some basic questions. I am now attempting to gain a better understanding of the hows and...

Right, if there are not doing it correctly you must intervene then correct? Now let me ask you this. My book indicates you should check pulse after delievery of shock, however, it looks as though (according to AHA) you should actually go straight into CPR for 2 minutes w/o checking the...

Thank you, I think that has cleared up a lot. CPR in progress upon arrival=AED No CPR in progress and you did not witness the event=CPR for 2 min (5 cycles) and then AED. Witnessed by you=AED then CPR.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but in studying for this NREMT my mind is numb... I have been reading my textbook front to back and found a few errors here and there. I am looking at the CPR/AED use portion and the text say in regards to SINGLE rescuer CPR/AED after verifying pulseness and...

Thanks Bunkie, I think that is what I was looking for.

In regards to my textbook, we were required to purchase the Mosby's EMT Textbook 2nd edition. Has anybody else used this book? Does it prepare you for the NREMT? In taking some of the online practice tests, I have noticed there are some differences between my book and the various tests. My...

Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I did perform a search and didn't find what I was looking for. How specific is the line of questioning on the NREMT? Specifically the the order of things. For example: Female patient with NRB at 15L per minute already applied. You...
