Thank you for that, Mr. Jones! I had three or four layers to go through on at least two of my oral stations...the other two I failed due to an incorrect dosing of medication, and I believe the last one, I was just so exasperated that I just brain farted. Best, Maitai

Hi Nikc12! Thank you VERY much for your input. Looks like they really do have a cross section of difficulty, and well, I'll just press on and study every day anyway. I test on the 7th and can't wait until I'm complete and license in-hand. Best, Maitai

Thanks Matt!!! Matt, I want you to know that I truly, truly appreciate your good advice and counsel in answering my questions. I will follow up on your good information to get myself going...NREMT, here I come! Have five weeks to get my mojo back. Best, Maitai

Hi Folks, First post, so I'm a noob in that sense, but I've been practicing now since 1993. I'm State of Hawaii certified. I'm going in for my NREMT re-cert, which I lost in the late 90's due to some difficult moving situations, etc. Now, I'm getting it back because it will help me...
