    NREMT approval....

    your instructor from your course is supposed to send the approval to the NREMT and when you create your profile on their website it should show your approval. at my school, the instructors said they had up to 1 month after the course ended to submit our grades from both the class score and...

    What skills should be solidified before applying to Medic School?

    math math math! it does help.........the statistics comment stumped me at first but after i thought about it i believe it really could help if youre going to take physics, i would advise against the cal based version. there were two other types at my university that were MUCH easier but at...

    After EMT-B

    is this from your past experience of taking forensic anthropology? i think hands on bone and bone fragment studies really helped. you dont have to agree with it, but i would hope you at least took the course if you are going to dismiss it so easily.

    After EMT-B

    the second sentence may have been a little confusing so i will state it a different way.........organic chemistry topics didnt get covered at all in basic class......neither did gen chem either for that matter.

    After EMT-B

    really? i dont think organic helped at all. are you saying for when you become a paramedic? knowing the structures of compounds (basically all organic chem is) didnt get covered at all in class. forensic anthropology was pretty much a "bones" class. really helped with human skeletal...

    Post the # your test stopped at, and if you Passed/Failed

    i think if you take it more than once it only depends on mastery of previously failed points. ive had friends that passed it after their first try and it only went to the 50's. i havent heard of anybody going below 70 on the first try (at least for basic). this is just a theory though.......

    After EMT-B

    I had the "advantage" of getting my bachelors in biology and forensic science Prior to taking my emt-b course and I would say out of all the classes I took in college that A&P, forensic anthroology, developmental biology, and biology I and II were the most helpful in my emt training. I also...

    Will I forget what I have learned?

    oh i dont know, seeing as AHA changes it every day seemingly. (joke) or maybe because some peoples books could be outdated. I know our book seemed to just skim CPR guidelines. Nowhere did the book cover the 2010 guideline specifics, especially when it came to infants. maybe because some...

    Will I forget what I have learned?

    retaking CPR classes every several months. i know, it may seem simple, however you would be surprised what you forget in just a little bit of time.

    Advice for nremt

    Exactly what the previous poster said.... I had two burn questions that were worded differently but were the same question with the same answers with those same answers just simply changed around. I answered it the same way both times because I was confident my answer was the correct one. passed...

    Having Trouble Passing NREMT-B - Suggestions?

    this is a repost i put in the other section but figured it might help... for those lo'oking for help on what the exam covers, be sure to study the basics! CPR, Airway, and Cardiovascular were hit hard on mine. However, I have heard there is a database of over 10,000 questions and it seems...

    What is "Normal"??

    I was always told by our instructor that if they saw "WNL" on our PCR they would fail us no matter what. She made a very good point that within normal limits is pretty much a useless statement.

    Post the # your test stopped at, and if you Passed/Failed

    Like many before me, I used this site to see what people were saying about the NREMT exam. I took the NR exam last wednesday and got stopped at 70. Grades were posted 4 hours after I finished. Passed! That sure was a load off. Another buddy from my class took the exam yesterday and got...
