Im 24 and from miami florida..born and raised..home of the brave. Ive wanted to be firefighter/medic since i was jit. I feel like a kid everytime i see a ladder or a rescue go by and theres nothing that i want more than for the back of my shirt to say Miami Dade Fire Rescue one day..id tatoo it if they wanted it.ive been the first responder at countless accidents and even though im not certified.. i almost feel obligated to stop anyway. I took my emt practical exam a year ago today. june 5 2007 no :censored::censored::censored::censored:. Took me almost 6 months to pay off my school so they could release my diploma and i could test..turns out the loan that i was approved for (sally mae) was revoked the day of my final practical. After a lot of begging and pleading the guy let me test and i passed..It took me almost 6 months to find a cosigner so they could release my diploma.I work two fulltime jobs (waiter and for a bls ambulance) after much searching one of my bestfriends parents came threw for me and co signed the loan..i took my final on june 5..graduated on june 15.. and took my first shot at the nremt in late december17.
Yea i failed it.
Started paramedic school this past feb.i thought i was going to be behind and horrible but you know what..i actually got good grades..thought that i would :censored::censored::censored::censored: all over the nremt the next time id take it.kinda studied which is the worst way to do things...yea you guessed it failed.
Ive got one of the highest grades in my class.. ive finished a and p , pharmacology and advance airway.. were still early. almost at the midterm.
Today i took my nremt and i feel horrible..and this time its worse because i really gave my all. I even took a friends ridelin medicine for the concentration ( yea it worked) studied day in and day out even while in the hospital (out of commission for almost 4 weeks ..cyst in the sinus.:censored::censored::censored::censored: was horrible) so after all that drama turns out that i got one shot to pass it. if fail it..i gotta retake my course..my cert ends on june 15 which leaves me out of gas and with no hope..
i studied my *** off for the past 3 months day in and out.. i have every freaking book in every freaking color..i have all the cds , the reviews .. power points ..cds from brady, mosby, aaos .. from all of them! Took my test today and i know for sure i accidently hit a wrong answer and like a retard hit next! i almost freaking died!!
It was some question about activated charcoal.. and one of the things was this young kid who drank bleech..what do you do. give him water..give him orange juice.. activated charcoal or give him nothing.. as i clicked on activated charcoal i stopped myself i knew that it was a contraindication..and slammed my hand on the enter key on the keyboard and it went to the next question!! :censored::censored::censored::censored:!!!!!
now im bummed. The :censored::censored::censored::censored: stopped at 70 and im feeling hypertensive as hell.
Just venting i guess..
Id hate to sit threw another emt course and truthfully.. with a fiance and a baby on the way..feeling depressed and feeling highly inadequate for anything. the lowest of the low..i feel horrible man.
