    May be a good guide, but highly unlikely that you will see an exact duplicate of a question from the registry.

    Post the # your test stopped at, and if you Passed/Failed

    I dont really want to be the post underneath that guy^. But I'm to happy to not post my results. I took the NREMT-P exam as well. I too got 80 questions. I too studied above and beyond and am good at test taking, But I did walk out of that exam feeling like I questioned humanity and...

    Preparing for NR

    I like the fact that you were determined enough to start the course knowing you couldn't test for a while. It's going to be hard ill be honest you will most likely have to be more on top of studying over the next 3.5 months than you were in class. Check out medictests.com they have a 3 month...

    NREMT Help

    There are tons of threads on here that talk about test preps. But to save you the time get JB learning, and take all the test prep questions. Fisdap is also a good learning tool. Emtprep.com is decent. Emt-national-training.com is overpriced for the quality of questions. Read your book. ^ Gurby...

    Preoxygenation

    Good to know. I should have been more specific, but RSI is something that isn't common where I'm from as a medic. Currently only one or two departments do it. So I have not had much experience with it, especially with the paralytic.

    Preoxygenation

    Pre-oxygenation before an intubation attempt is mandatory and the most important part of intubation besides landing the tube itself. It's amazing to see just how long a patient will stay in the upper and mid 90,s iv you do it properly. And dont worry about giving a few breaths to quickly...

    NREMT-P last question

    Nice high 80's is very good I'm in the mid 80's and going to test here within the next week. Just wondering how you would compare fisdap to NREMT. Was it harder, easier, or equal to fisdap exams. I've heard the thing about it being harder tests as well.

    NREMT-P last question

    Curious did you take the paramedic practice exam or any of the readiness fisdap proctored exams? If so how were your scores of you dont mind sharing. I'm referring to the 200 question exam/exams.

    NREMT-P last question

    Did you take all of the test questions in the bank? Start there and focus on understanding. How long after class have you waited to test.

    NREMT-P last question

    No. Skills is good for a year from test date. What have you been doing to study? When did your your class end? JBL has a great test bank to study, but if you are lacking in multiple areas it's better to dip back into the curriculum as well because you aren't understanding core minimum baseline...

    VL exclusively

    We have king vision, and it's at the discretion of the medic to use it, or just stick with DL. Personally in intense situations I will use DL and a bougie. I could care less about the "status". I need to take an airway and I get it first time. First time pass attempts are much higher with VL...

    NREMT-P last question

    You passed or failed. Kidding. But serious. You could have been a few questions above minimum competency and it finally dialed in to where you were at a 95 % confidence. Or you were below. My guess is you passed because the test probably wouldn't stop at 83 unless you literally tanked it. If...

    Critical Care Paramedic

    I think A&P for this is a must.. I didn't know it wasn't a requirement to get into medic programs.. I have a hard time understanding how anyone could grasp most paramedic concepts without A&P. I'm glad I took it before my medic course but CCP has got you looking at lab values and other in depth...

    Moving a Trauma Patient in severe pain without medications

    It did say alert and oriented x2. So you will have to clarify that. But yeah some people have different pain tolerance levels. Some people just don't have the therapetic response at lower doses. Some people are in so much pain and for good reason because they have a broken hip or an open femur...

    Moving a Trauma Patient in severe pain without medications

    It seems like you're playing Monday morning EMT. Not necessarily a bad thing. Think about it this way. If you were to pull him out without medications and got him into the rig, would you have saved time meeting the heli? Was there a place for the, to land safely if you loaded and left? Would...

    Utah 911 opportunities??

    All 911 is more fire based out here. Gold Cross responds with slc fire medics and is basically the transport for them. There are others areas past salt lake in all directions that run 911 but if you are set on SLC hopefully fire is in your background. Plus you shouldn't just be "ok" with fire...

    Acute coronary syndrome /MI/STEMI and Oxygen administration

    I agree Vent. I should have been more specific. The general ACS patient with no other pertinent comorbidities should not recieve oxygen unless their oxygen saturation is showing 90% or less, or showing signs of dyspnea or distress per 2015 AHA update. AHA isn't everyone's protocol, and a...

    Acute coronary syndrome /MI/STEMI and Oxygen administration

    I'm pretty sure that ACS according to AHA doesn't call for oxygen administration for anything more than a 90% spo2.
