FISDAP with my PDA I actually liked FISDAP. I had a TREO 750 phone/PDA and got the software off the fisdap website and I was able to input my call info right then while on the clinical. At the end of the shift I just hit synchronize and all my data was sent. All that was left was to write up a...

NREMT-P # of questions Wow. I just took the Paramedic test this past Wed (5/28). Got 83 questions and passed. A classmate took it on Friday and got 82 and passed. I then went to the NR website and read how they did the whole CBT thing and it was pretty interesting to find out just how it worked.
