I guess I have seen some nerds who couldn't express themselves adequately. But, I honestly haven't seen a booksmart medic with clinical judgment any worse than anyone else, usually the opposite.
However, I think this is a concern with teaching. I haven't seen it in ems too much yet but in other college courses. The classic example is when they fire some really good professor with a master's and 30 years experience and bring in some prick with a Phd whose only experience is academic. Again, this is only with teaching.
In my program, grades were averaged.
Good Am..........I took my NREMT exam on 03/17/2007 still no results, I felt good after taking the exam. When I got to 71 questions it cut off.

How times have changed around us!! I remember back in the 80's when you took that test with all the "Number-2-pencil-only-and-fill-in-the-squares-completely" rules, then sat on your hands for several anguished weeks while hoping for the "big" envelope and dreading the arrival of the awful "little white envelope" postmarked Columbus. For all you newer folks to the job, it probably seems like the Dark Ages, but it's true. It's one of the few things from the "old days" that I for one certainly don't miss.
P.S. Good Luck, Joyce!!

Thanks Tincan, btw, thats no old news to us, this computer thing just started this year, trial tests were starting around last fall. I have taken many tests with the old # 2 pencil only making sure all squares are filled in. lol.
Corbin, Thats really odd that you have not found out yet. I take it you have been checking the nremt.org site right? Have you called them at all? You should deffinately have heard by now. Good luck to you and keep us updated on how you did!!!
Thanks again everyone

Congrats. Hopefully I can say the same after i take the test on thursday.
Good Pm...........I finally find out why I haven't got results yet. The head person finally contacted me this am. Someone who works for the state told me since I have my EMT certification in DC and although it's still current, I take the written exam, I don't take the practical. Now they are trying to fix it so I don't have to wait weeks before taking it. Lucky someone from the NREMT dept put the pieces together and did some searching and inform me of what happen. I am going to write a nice letter regarding her, all the rest of the people kept telling me to wait and give it a few more days for it to be posted. I will keep you guys posted. Pray for me. In this case I only take the practical no writen exam for me.

When I hear horror stories about the NREMT, I usually find out later it is the state and local jurisdiction that dropped the ball. Not, saying NREMT can't screw up, but usually they have their ducks in a row, since this is all they do is perform testing.
Glad matters are being worked upon, good luck!

Now I can join you. I just checked and I passed!!!!!
It was a strange test. Cut me off at 70 questions. I was shocked. So was the testing center. It took me like 20 minutes. I always test fast, and I do well on them, but WOW!!

As for my plans, just to start enjoying not being in school and take my promotion. I already am employed by the fire department, currently working as a firefighter/EMT-I. I will take the promotion to firefighter/paramedic. Just gonna be enjoying the 24/72 work schedule. Oh, and working part-time as a paramedic for a private company doing critical care.
