Sorry to bring this thread back, just wanted to say the I took my NREMT test yesterday, and found out today I am now NREMT Certified, Paramedic school here I come!

Took my NREMT-Basic for the first time yesterday, test stopped at 120. Felt like I didn't pass but at the same time the test didn't seem hard at all. Was checking my e-mail every 10 min, found out this morning I am now NREMT certified!

Full-Body workouts, incorporate the Deadlift to your workout, will strengthen your whole body really, but its mostly a lower back/legs exercise, used for every possible lift really. www.muscleandstrength.com is a nice website, has workouts and articles to stay injury free. Good luck.

Here in Florida all we are allowed to use as Basics are: LMA's and Kingtube's.

Yea the thing about this test is that you can't really study that well for it. Its a bunch of MD's and doctors that grab info from ALL of the EMT books nationwide and put it all in one test and sum it up in 200 questions. At least thats what our instructor told us. In my experience, the test was...

Just finished, got an 80%. Sad to say that 6 in our class failed so they have to re-test one more attempt. They told us the same thing, if we score a 67% or better on this the NR would be ALOT easier. Was so glad when they told me my score. phew, now I just have to wait for the state to send me...

I'm here in school sweating ba**s. Have my EMT-B FISDAP exam in a few hours. We need to score at LEAST a 67% minimum to pass, sounds easy but our instructors keep telling us it's hard as hell. 200 questions and we have 2 hours to complee, less than a dam min per question. If we dont pass this we...

Hey guys/ladies, sorry to bring this post back, just givin u guys an update I guess! The end of the semester is here, can't believe it, things went by so fast. I had a blast in my EMT course, for future EMT students, dont sweat it! The class is really fun, especially once you start clinical/ride...

Hey man, Im on your same boat, well somewhat, I just started my EMT B class last week and im crapping my pants. I start riding in about 2 weeks and have no clue what to expect.

Started my class last week aswell. Over here we need 24 hours in the ER room, 3 8 hour shifts, and 72 hours on the ambulance, 3 24 hour shifts. But the catch is that we need to complete 15 PCR's on the ambulance, and since we are in "slow season" down here, we might have to do more than 72 hours...

Hey guys, just had a quick question, probably kind of dumb but I cant seem to find the answer anywhere. The question is: If a companies ambulance has a GPS in it, and you are called to a scene, does the address feed from the dispatch directly to the ambulance's GPS, or does it have to be...

Now that's scary!

Think he means a slow day on the job lol, could be wrong tho...

6 weeks?? Nice, my EMT-B class is starting the 23rd of Aug, and ends early December <_<. Looking forward to it to say the least. Good luck!

EMT's here working for the county start at 13.38 without any experience and top out at 19.67. Medics start at 14.08, and top out at 20.70 an hour. Being a firefighter aswell, adds about 2-3 on top of that. I looked up an EMS Captain and they top out at 47.95 an hour :ph34r:
