I failed my first medic test then studied with FISDAP. I thought the questions were just like the NREMT.

+1. I completely agree!

Found out today passed medic @ 150

Good luck in your journey. I can't believe I'm only a month from being done with school. Some of these people on here can give you a lot better advice than I can, but at first school is going to seem like it's super easy. Just wait, it gets a lot harder, especially if you have a full time job as...

I was 18 when I got EMT and I'll be 20 when I get my medic in a month.

If you are a medic and live in eastern Arkansas and need to pick up extra days let me know.

I got into it because I didn't have anything else to do. I didn't know anything about the job, and I thought it would just be something to get by at the time. I fell in love with it during EMT school, and now I'm about to be a paramedic, and have loved all of it.

In Arkansas, (I thought everywhere) you can't do any clinical time while your getting paid to do work at an Ambulance service. I may be confused on that, but that's how I thought it went.

Next week starts week 5 for us. Its been ok so far. We got all of our IVs and Intubation check offs done. We did some basic rhythms and such and ran some slow mega codes.

Congrats! I bet thats a big stress reliever.

Yesterday was our first day of class. We watched some long drawn out history of EMS. Some of it was pretty interesting, but for the most part it was pretty boring. We start on airway stuff tomorrow, and I can't wait for the year to get going pretty good.

In our narc box, we have our Narcs, and IO. Our bag has airway/suction, intubation, iv supplies, drugs etc.. Everything is duplicated in the truck.

I start medic school in less than a month! The excitement builds more as it gets closer to the day.
