Written Test Hi everyone, We took our written test tonight. I am at a loss for words. Throughout class, I have usually scored in the 90's. My instructor was tough, but very thorough. I learned a great deal about the human body from him. I can't say enough about his methods of teaching...

Thanks. I will test this Thursday for NY State. I have noticed many people here take the National Test. Can anyone explain the difference between the NY State test and the National? (in terms of difficulty). Thanks!!

Woo Hoo!! Just have the written... Bring it on! :rolleyes:

This is exactly how I have been feeling. I find comfort in the fact that everyone I ride with wants me to succeed. I also try to remain open with regards to another member's advice (co-worker). Many personalities are trying to accomplish the same thing, saving a life. Although there intentions...

Thank you very much for all your advice. I actually spent some extra hours this weekend riding along with different crews. I felt much more confident, and helped out a few of the newer members locate equipment on the rig, take BP's, etc. I actually enjoy the teaching aspect of EMS. Hmmm...

Hey, Thanks for the replies. I guess it's not unusual to feel that way. If anything, the fact that I am a little nervous on calls will probably keep me grounded. I think it also reminds me how important it is to keep up on my education and skills. Patients depend on it.

Lately, I have been experiencing a bit of nervousness on calls. I am not sure if it's because I am closer to finishing up my EMT class, or maybe it's because I have seen quite a bit, and have heard all the stories of what transpires on certain calls... Assaults, hit and runs, nasty MVA's...

Congrat's!! How is the hang-over?

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the Littman Classic II S. E. Stethoscope. It seems that I am having an issue with the left ear of the stethoscope. It's brand new, and this is the second stethoscope (I returned it the first time I received it for the exact same problem). Now...

Cool, thanks.. I am from LI as well.. small world!

Thanks for the reply! I do okay during the skills.. we have a huge class, so you can get stuck on the medical assessment for a long time.. depends. I try to think over what I want to tackles first.. splinting, traction device, KED... I save medical and trauma for last.. It's all about...

Thanks!! I appreciate the reply... Yea, I need to focus and trust my training. I am a bumbling fools sometimes when it comes to straps! Lol!
