Hey All
shaking in my boots.. i guess is the best way to say whats going on .. I am going to be taking the State Test for EMT-B this coming Saturday... I have been taking calls for the past few months at our vol rescue squad... logged in about 60 calls so far.. have done the ER time...about 16 hrs.... I feel very good about the written part of the test.....and the hands on stuff I do great in the class setting and when I'm in the feild....Our Capt. says I handel pt. care bettter than some B's that have been runing for years...
But ya know the idea of someone watching over my shoulder at the test to make sure I get a correct BP or spider strap someone the right way .. ect.. scare the ---- out of me.....
It's the getting ready part that is important.. I have gone to many many web sites that give question... and I'll take them over and over again... books and booklets .. that I have gotten read.. read and then read it one more time...
I got one of the new books.. about a month or so ago.. freash off the press
EMT- Basic Review A Case-Based Approach
by Kaye Nagell and Neil Coker
this has been great... know that if I'm able to do this book [appox. 500 pg's] I can get the state test and the national testing done...
..
add this in with being able to go on a lot of calls... using the website's on the net..
I feel good about the test...
BUT PLEASE DON"T LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER
I'm just a old fart.. trying to learn.... 49 yo... that hated school ... but loving doing the volly stuff now
