Damn medical questions sound tough. Definitely need to study for that especially since its been awhile since I got out of school. Thanks for the heads up

How difficult was the testing center? Ive worked for a non-emergency ambulance company in South Fl for the past 2 years but have not had much luck finding a job. I am probably going to test with Mecklenberg and hope the 2 years exp will bump up that starting pay to a decent salary.

Well I think they require both the hands on skill and verbalization to go along with it. Dont know why when it should be obvious if you know how to do it properly but not my choice. Good idea on the NREMT site ill have to look at that

Yea some people here were taught to state you are looking for a bouncing non-rolling vein and angle you are advancing the catheter etc. My teacher didnt care much for verbalization and was more worried about doing it hands on but Im not sure what the people testing me are going to be like so I...

If anyone here was taught specific verbalization for establishing an IV I would really appreciate it if you could post it here. When I was in school the hands on was more important than the verbalization but I have a practical exam coming up and I want to make sure I hit all the points. Also...

Anyone know the starting salary for this company? Ive been looking but I cant find it

Im curious if anyone has ever used these websites and what is your experience with them. Im looking at EMT National Training which offers 1600 ALS questions but the price is $50 for a month subscription. Are there any better options out there that dont cost money? Im studying for my Florida...

5 months is pretty fast man. I did an 8 month program and I thought it was pretty fast but a solid program if you put in the required effort. I would have done a normal length program but I already spent 5 years in college and know what it takes to be a good student(even though I didnt use...

Thank you. I am aware that Florida does not use the Natl Registry but since I just finished Medic in Florida and jobs are scarce here(well maybe more scarce than other parts of the country lol) I plan on taking the NREMT in addition to the state test. Ive read the information on the web site...

Im studying rambling thoughts and I have like 3 or 4 books with sample exams but am looking for any material I can get my hands on. If anyone has any good study guides saved on their comp can u post here or message me. Also does anyone know the major differences between NREMT and the Florida...

Sup guys im studying for my 2nd cardiac test right now and I keep reading conflicting things about the required amount of joules. Part of this confusion comes from there being both biphasic and monophasic monitors. Ive tried googling but I find different answers. Are monophasic monitors...

thanks great site

48 hours is plenty of time if your doing a good full body workout. Ill do a 5 exercise compound lift full body workout with deads or squats until I puke then ill be perfectly fine in 48 hours ready for another one.

8 months long, im currently halfway through Monday-Wednesday 9am-1:30pm 400 hours ride times 200 hours clinicals Yes some might consider this a "medic mill" but im starting to supplement the course text(Nancy Caroline which is :censored::censored::censored::censored: btw) with alot of...

Go ahead and go right into the medic course while learning A&P on your own. Purchase a bunch of books and one of those huge sets of flashcards off amazon then study it on your own time. You can also attend a class without being enrolled in it, just find out when large lecture A&P classes are...

Since going to the fire academy I have definitely started eating well. I have always found fast food to be absolutely disgusting but my diet during college consisted of microwave food, pizza, BBQ, and of course beer lol so it was anything but healthy. Ive since revamped my diet with oatmeal...

The only thing thats going to help you with pull ups are pull ups. If you dont already have one get a doorway pull up bar and start the Greasing The Groove program(google it) you basically do sets of pull ups without going to failure throughout the week and you should start bein able to bang...

Medic School is alot more intensive than EMT-B. EMT-B could be passed with an A average by a middle school student. Its good that you dont have to work during the class but dont expect it to be a repeat of EMT-B and definitely plan on reading the chapters...several times for things like patho...
