My instructor had a great faker while he was working with a service...they got called to a prison for a seizing pt. When they arrived, all he did was ask him to stop seizing so they could take a look at him...guess what. He stayed there that night.

I did my EMR back in september with AHASTI, and I wouldn't hesitate to take my EMT with them. I felt that I was very prepared for the ACP exam, and even after waiting this long to write the ACP.....I don't think I'll have a problem. I'm writing the ACP EMR this weekend. Everything has come back...

I'm an EMR graduate, waiting on the provincial exam for the certified part. EMR, is the same as EMT-B here in Alberta.... Thanks. *EDIT*....changed title.*

So I missed the writing in Nov, my own fault for dragging my feet...but I'm off to Edmonton in Jan to write the ACP exam for EMR. I've got the hotel booked, but I've got a room with two queen beds...if anyone is looking to cut the cost down a bit of the trip, let me know.

One of the groups that I volunteer with, we do the security, money handling, and minor medical for the gay rodeo that happens in Strathmore. The weekend is pretty good, and everyone there is pretty well behaved, even better than most other rodeo's I've been to (and I work at the Calgary...

Hey all....thought I'd say hello. My name is Scott, and I just got my EMR (EMT-B) certificate. I will be heading to write the Alberta College of Paramedics exam in November so I can actually practice as such. Right now I'm still working my full time job, which unfortunately has no use for my...
