Next week I'll be taking a test and doing an interview for a paramedic/fire fighter position at a department that I REALLY want to work for. Needless to say I'm pretty nervous. Can anyone give me any pointers or suggestions about what to review or what might be asked at the oral board review...

1st try, 2nd try, it doesn't matter! All that matters is that you passed! :)

I'm just gonna beat the dead horse :deadhorse: and tell you not to study and just relax like everyone else has. I took my EMT-P test about 3 months ago, and just chilled the day before and the day of the test. You should already know your stuff at this point, cramming won't help, but relaxing...

Not really planning on giving up on the original goal. I'm just trying to think ahead. The thing is that I have a child on the way, I have a paramedic license and I'm stuck working at Sears. (I am grateful to HAVE a job, even if it doesn't pay well.) It's just frustrating!:angry:

Has anyone ever looked into the College Network? They have a bridge program to go from Paramedic to RN. I talk to them about it, it's an online course that takes about 2 years. Anyone have any insight on this stuff??

Yeah, I got a little boy on the way. I was thinking of going back to school to be an RN. I just would hate to back to school, and right now I can't afford it. I'm sitting on my paramedic license and just working at Sears. :glare:

I got my paramedic license in the middle of March. All the way through school I was told that landing a medic job would be easy... "Everyone is looking for Paramedics." I'm finding that's not the case. <_< I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem???? I live in Kansas City and you...

Basic or Medic? I know it's frustrating!! I didn't pass my first time. I honestly think it's more common for people to fail it once or twice before they pass. Just hit the books and study ur @$$ off for a couple weeks, be prepared for scenario questions!! Keep focus and u'll get there!!

Passed!!! Took the EMT-Paramedic test yesterday, second try!! Stopped at 80 questions. I was so sure I failed, but I passed!! Feels so good!!!:D

I have a Zune, but I'm sure this would work for an Ipod as well. I found a Podcast that covers a bunch of material that would help a Medic review and a "Medic-to-be" study. It's "Vital Signs" by JB Learning. http://www.jblearning.com/vitalSignsCourses.cfm The series also counts as CE credits...

Soon I'll be taking the NR test again for paramedic, the first time was a "near pass" , but this time I feel ready. One thing that is kinda bothering me... I remember the test asking a bunch of questions about Alzheimers Pts and meds. I don't see that on the list of stuff that's supposed to be...
