78 Passed in < 20 min, not county the time it took to check in and out of the testing rooms.

As I just finished up the didactic portion of a degree program the experience that I have had is that most if not all of our instructors didn't care if you sent texts or had to excuse yourself from class to take a phone call. Many in our class were on call even thou in class and could be...

I don't know about the other programs but given a very large scope of practice in our state, and in our area services (No Med control for such things as RSI, Fibrinolytics, surgical airways, and the protocols do nothing more than specify what is to be on the trucks and used at the medics...

Please don't take this the wrong way and I do not intend for this to be mean but just take it at face value. EMT-B is a license to learn, unfortunately Mc Donald's probably trains most of their employes better than what you are getting in school. Depending on where your at, a 'B' patch is...

All my course exams are complete and passed. Alphabet soup classes are done and passed. All that is left is internship and the NREMT exam!

Been awhile since I posted. Didactic complete. Three more exams this next week, then all I have left is internship, then registry. I see daylight at the end of the tunnel.

With all the standard warnings that should apply. http://www.heart.org/idc/groups/heart-public/@wcm/@ecc/documents/downloadable/ucm_317350.pdf This should help with your rhythms and associated drugs. We were required to have completed ACLS prior to ever touching a patient even in...

Cardiology final in week and a half and brain fried, start clinicals in June, done with classroom in another 5 months. Ready to be done, already have 2+ years invested in full time school.

We're two years full time in our program finishing with an associate degree. I'm a little more than half way. I'm beginning to wonder if two years is enough for the amount of material that we cover.

I only have one more semester of didactic, then another year +/- of clinicals and internship. I'm ready to be done with school. This is what is required for our program.

I would think that it is tradition. Ice Cream or soda for the whole department is standard at our house if you make the news, print or TV, unless your the designated incident PIO. What is expensive is if you have a call to your house, then you owe then entire department and their spouses a...

I don't know what kind of program yours will be, but the program I am in is 2 years and I already have to study my butt off. I still have another 6 months of didactic before we even start our 800 hours of hospital clinicals. Still have another year of full time classes before we start on our...

I have a 2 pair of 5.11 boots that I love. One pair is a standard tow, and the other is a composite safety toe (http://www.thefirestore.com/store/product.cfm?pID=6074), current price is south of $150.00, and I have always been happy with the merchant.

Veneficus, You make several excellent arguments for the role that in person classes play in ones education, but what do you do for those who are not able to work their schedule around 'the classes'? Depending on the class sometimes I enjoy the in person interaction, if all we are doing is...

Not to beat further on a dead horse but: I feel that one of the reasons that many regulatory bodies have is the aspect of the online classroom and learning environment with little to no in person contact. As I am currently attending college for the second time things are very different now as...
