Welcome!! and Congrats!

If your referring to a non EMT training ride along, then no! They should carry equipment and that's it.

When I did my clinical, my FTO's allowed me to do whatever was in my scope of practice for what I was in school for (at the time AEMT, she even let me push drugs outside my scope of practice with her direct supervision). It really just depends on who trains you and what their willing to put in...

I think that's exactly my problem, I think I'm over thinking the whole test and I'm second guessing myself. I know the material but the littlest word I believe can throw off my answer all together. I'm going to sign up for Emtprep.com since I saw a lot of people are recommending it.
