Hey everyone. I took my nremt basic exam Friday evening. I felt pretty good going in, I finished the class a few months ago and I've been brushing up lightly on everything. After about 45 minutes the test shut off at 70. I had a few wtf questions, but the majority I felt were straightforward and...

Took my EMT-B yesterday, it shut off at 70. Have to wait the weekend to know if I passed or not.

Thank you for the replies everyone. I do plan on pretty much blanket applying once I get my cert, which if I pass everything the first shot should be sometime in October.

Just wondering if anyone knows how the job market for new basics is in Southcoast Mass? I'm basically looking in the area between Providence RI, Cape Cod, and south of Boston. I just started the basic class at my local community college and it will be ending in August.

Hey everyone I finished up the EMT-B course at a local community college last September, took and passed the practical portion, but I still haven't taken the written yet. I have finally decided it's about time I take it and get my foot in the door of EMS, the problem is I'm obviously not...

Thank you to everyone for all of the helpful information. I looked up the "practice scope analysis" and I have a question about it. It gave a percentage break down of the cooling topics: airway/respiration/ventilation, cardiology/resuscitation, trauma, medical/obstetrics,gyn, and ems ops. Those...

Thanks, I'll look into that. I really want to go ahead and finally get into EMS, I'm just really kicking myself for not taking the test when I was supposed to instead of putting it off for as long as I did. Basically I was banking on the new job working out, but I'm finding myself right back...

I took the EMT-B course at my local community college late last summer. I passed the hands on portion, but I didn't end up taking the written portion due to starting a new job, then the holidays, and now here I am several months have gone by. I'm in the process of getting ready to start...

This is something I recently heard about (Oil Rig medics). I recently passed my NREMT-B practical test in Mass, taking my written in a few weeks. My goal is to go to paramedic school in a year or so. I understand needing experience and everything that goes along with it, so after a few years...

Thanks a lot for the information, greatly appreciated. I pretty much figured EMT-B positions are non-existant, even if they were I have no background in medicine so I wouldn't go for anything. I plan on working as a Basic for 6 months to a year then going to Medic school. Get something local...

I recently took and passed my NREMT-B practical exam in Mass a few weeks ago, I should be taking the written in a month or so. My goal is to become a paramedic. I came across a few threads talking about being a medic overseas and it really intrests me. My dream would be to travel the world...

Yeah he is such an awesome guy, hilarious as well.

And yes their food is absolutely delicious. I go there a few times a month.
