Taking my NREMT tomorrow. Bit nervous, ready to see how I do and just going to hope the studying has paid off. Want to pass it the first time.

*takes notes for his NREMT-B test* Yeah, feel almost in the same boat. Just want to prepair how I can. Took a practice test from the EMT Achive code that came with my book (Brady EMT book, forgot name off top of my head at the moment) and made a 72 the first time, but i think that was more...

There was also pie involved.

Ma'am, you're one of the reasons why I decided to start training for this. At first, I was working on becoming a Law Enforcement officer in order to help people out. (And I still would if the opportunity comes up before an ambulance or fire job, I'll admit) I made sure to learn CPR in my youth...

Yeah, for the majority of my first day, I was with the same crew. I wanted to ride again with the same crew the next ride day I had (24 hours in Arkansas sadly for EMT-B ) but they were at a different station. The first medic I was with explained as he went like the first group, and just giving...

Yeah, i know, wanted to just see what I could get going. For my EMT clinicals, I voulenteered to do what I could. Couple of medics didn't really want to chat or talk to the student, but the ones I did most of my rides with where very helpful. They explained what they were doing, got me to...

But what if the medics your doing ride times with insist you do? LOL:P

Yeah, sorry, should of clarified. Just looking for the CBT more. My instructor is having someone from the state come to our class site on May 25th. Just trying to get a time line on when I can look at taking the CBT here. What I was gathering with Pearson Vue and the like. Just wanted to know if...

Just curious as to if there was a way to check ahead of time for an NREMT testing location. I've looked on the NREMT.org page but it looks like it's all for praticles above basic. Just trying to get a grasp on where I need to plan on taking my test once I finish off this last week of prep in...

Yeah, my instructor is having us come back a few days before we do our main pratacles to practice for any that we may get. From what I gathered, it shouldn't be as bad as my mind wants to think. I mean, I've survived an interview with the Border Patrol before they turned me down for having Lasik...

Bit anxious, but feel ready for it. The class was very informative, and feel that I made the right choice wanting to check into EMS related work. Just enjoyed my ride times, and look forward to the NREMT testing. Anyone else remember there first times going in, working on there certs...

pilates, cruches, lunges. Maybe some basic weight training in general could help out in the long run too. Maybe just leg lifts and basic curls in reps more then maxing out. Working on your muscles endurance and strength that way can go a long way to helping job performance and preventing injuries.

I'm looking at doing the same this summer for various reasons. Been doing some research on places, and just planed on doing what I can to get my name out there among potential employers. Just ready to get started. There isn't much importunity to advance and learn in the rice fields of...

I've got to admit, that has creepy, cute and awesome all rolled up into one. That dog has him tricked by the leash!

Having grown up in the Bible Belt, I have found that most people of faith try to push there beliefs on others constantly. "You're Methodist? You're WRONG! Baptist is the way to go!" At an early age, having read the bible I had already started finding contradictions and seeing a lot of what...

I can't attest for anyone else, but from personal experience, I've only seen prayer calm someone down, but in terms of it helping out, never seen it do such. At least without human help. I don't know if there is or isn't an omnipresent being, and I won't until i die, but I like to say I'm...

Myself, I don't think it works. If it helps the patient or family remained calm and it wouldn't hinder my work, go for it. I'm an Agnostic more then anything. I don't know what's out there, but for me personally, I think that what I do in the present dictates where my actions lead to, not...

Just was commenting more on the pride hitting, starting down the path of helping others. Know wearing the BDU's and the button up shirt for my clinical ER work and just loving the feeling of helping others out. From the little kids with the stuffy noses to the elderly just wanting to talk to...

Before I had personal issues hit, I was practicing American Freestyle Kenpo Karate. (Long name, just call it Karate for the most part) I loved it, but had been laid off from the job I had at the time and couldn't afford my dues. My Sensi offered to let me continue for free until I could start...

As I said, never seen it, but was both curious but scared to at the same time. Worse comes to worse, I just wasted a que slot and my time from watching it. I'll find out later, might have to power up my 360 and stream it. I'll check into the other stuff myself as well
