My first go round on the NREMT Basic test I went to 120 questions and failed. I decided to grab JB test prep and I was scoring in the high 80's about a week later I went into the NREMT Exam and passed at 82 questions. I think I learned quite a bit from it and it seemed to have some similar...

I was recently called to interview with Careflite on December 5th in Grand Prarie. I was wondering if anyone had any input on them and such. Apparently th fits phase is a written test, then medical scenario followed by an interview panel and then lift test/pat. Does anyone know if they'll extend...

We're actually required to take BGL as a part of our normal patient assessment. The only times we really don't are in the case of something like a lift assist, etc.

I usually ask: What is your name? Do you know where you are? Who is the president OR how many quarters are in a dollar? What happened leading to events?

I about crapped myself when I applied and saw the minimum for a basic is 32 to 40K, it's drastically different out here in New Mexico ha. I'm hoping I get into Med Star, I've been waiting for them to open something up. Plus I've got family over there so it'd work out great. I noticed Arcadian...

Here at the station I usually have a set group of people that I work with. We all have a rule that we will take turns scribing/taking lead/doing vitals. That way no one over steps the boundary of another person. You aren't going to get anywhere if you don't ask if you can take lead, they're just...

Haha to be honest I don't much like Belen, it seems all the good food places close early and then you get stuck with the Diner. But it's a start somewhere so I can't complain too much.

Go for JBLearning EMT Test Prep, It's the best program I've used. It definitely helped me prepare. I failed the first attempt a few months out of my class, and after studying JBLearning for a week I ended at 82 questions and passed.

That was brilliant, lol. I've gotta check out the UK version seems pretty funny.

Agreed on the point of it's highly likely, it pretty much happens when you find yourself outnumbered or trapped. I like the fact that they're slow. I don't much like the '28 days later' type zombies where they are all track star athletes with no possible chance of survival unless you nail a...

Lol well I work with them so they tend to talk about once in a while. I've been living here a while, and I guess either I haven't searched hard enough or there just haven't been as many Fire Department or EMS Openings. I'd like to either stay around here in NM or move east towards Texas. That's...

Well then I guess I shouldn't have made the mistake of being severely misinformed from the good folks of Valencia Co. Lol they always go on about how it's $7 an hr and you pay for all your uniform needs and such. Anyways I checked into Correctional Care as well. Thanks for the help though man! I...

If there's any ambulance services in the area, try doing ride alongs. Do some volunteer work at a local hospital, or like the above poster said if there's a Fire Dept. close by try doing some ride alongs over there. Ask questions and get involved as much as they'll allow. I've learned a ton by...

Just turned 21 in August, I would definitely say attach yourself at the hip to a senior member. You tend to learn a lot just by simple observation and asking questions.

I love walking dead, it's got to be one of the best zombie themed programs I've ever watched. I do agree on the Carl bit, he's always going off doing something he shouldn't be. Like when he went to the swamp and agitated the walker that ended up killing dale. This season seems like it'll be more...
