This is completely normal for this type of call. Peds codes are absolutely HORRIBLE, no matter how many times you’ve worked them. Now that you have your first one out of the way, the next one you’ll be able to think more clear in. As for thinking about it, you always will. Mine still lives...

Usually a national registry card or at least state EMT card is required to work. However like NPO said look up the job requirements. I know the hospital I work at hires EMTs in the ER.

You have to keep in mind it's not only the cost of things but also the legalities and rights to practice within the state. Also would need a medical director and possibly someone who knows how to write grants so you could have some kind of funding. I absolutely love the idea but it would be very...

Most hospitals are requiring BSN at hire or within 3-5 of hire date. I work at a Level I Trauma Center and it's a huge hospital. The require a BSN within 5 years of your hire date. The BSN classes after your ADN are basically all management classes. I've heard of a few bridge programs but I...

Don't overthink the questions. Read every answer choice. Don't majorly stress yourself out over it. You got this! Good luck!

There is a slight possibility. Mine moved pretty fast so I'm sure it's possible.

Once I paid everything it was two business days for them to allow me to test. Then I could test within the next 4 days. It's pretty quick.

JB Navigate is a great app. I also used PocketPrep for EMT to study for the NREMT. Also flash cards are good but expensive. The apps give you scenario questions like the NREMT.

I see what you're saying! I wish I could give you my professor. He was amazing and made sure we understood it. I got lucky with my EMT class. It was offered in the paramedic program at my university. It's a pre-req to get into the program. But the professor also teaches in the medic program...

The hands on stuff will be largely based on your knowledge from class and tests. It doesn't always work like the test says. But when I did my ride time (clinicals) I learned a lot and what I was confused on in class was cleared up because I got to see it on a real patient. Just study and try...

I prefer the 5.11 brand to any others. They are made better for my certain body type. You may have to just end up getting a belt and tightening the waste. I know a few people in my class that had to do that.

I've been in college since 2012. I had no clue what I wanted to do. I thought I had it all figured out. Was a pre-med/nursing student and then didn't like it and switched to business. I bounced around majors to see what I wanted. I also have Crohn's disease and was hospitalized with a major...

Usually you don't have to take any tests or have any certain scores in anything. I just finished my EMT class and am in the paramedic program at my college. The only entrance exam we have is for the advance sequence for the medic program. There is math involved but don't over think it, it's...
