Hi everyone, Has anyone taken the new paramedic practical stations, such as the Out of Hospital Comprehensive, Oral, Static, and Dynamic Cardiology? I'm taking them in April, but I have yet to meet anyone who has been through them (they started in January, I believe.) Would you mind sharing...

Hi All! Tell me about Capital's medic program in Hartford CT. I've heard really good things about it. Should I drive 1 hour to Hartford for the program, not to mention ride time and clinicals, or should I drive 20 mins to Bridgeport? Is Capital worth the extra drive time and gas money...

Hi everyone, and thanks for reading... I'm an EMT in CT. I was wondering if any of you had any strong opinions and experience with medic schools here. I have a degree already, but I'm not opposed to getting another associate's or bachelor's. Seems kinda like a good idea actually. I can also...

Thanks guys!!

I Paaaaaassssssed!! Woooooo!!:D:rofl: Everyone in coffee shop probably considering calling 911 for a possible psych patient (that would be me)!

Thanks to you both for replying...ARose, I tested yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. The wait is killing me already and it hasn't even been 24hrs! I'm really thinking that the NREMT test is a more like an initiation ceremony or rite of passage rather than a true test of knowledge. :D I heard...

Did you pass the test, that time you took it and saw repetitive questions?

Hi Everyone, I just took the written NREMT Basic yesterday, and it was a BEAR. I studied my *** off. I paid for and took the online tests for a solid week leading up to the exam. Every extra moment I had, I took 10-20 questions or more. I studied assessment, shock, diabetes, cardiac, all like...
