A couple weeks ago now, my partner and I (I was still a Basic on the truck at this time) responded to a call (at 0630 in the morning on my offgoing day), for a diabetic emergency. Report was that the PT was unresponsive, with a FSBS of 23. BLS Fire beat us on scene, and advised from the get-go...

I certainly hope that not ALL of the medics at this service are this way. If they were, I'd run like hell. Far and fast. WOW!

We had an overthinker too, haha. He messed up a couple of things and ended up failing. For three weeks after at, every day I'd get a text about some rhythm. Told him the very same that everybody else told him, and explained to him my method...and he passed. The texts have stopped! I'm freeeeee

It's tough. I'm not even going to lie to you. Know your cardiology, know your drugs, know your reversal agents. I found that reading the answers first helped me. Just make sure you read the questions very thoroughly, and look for WHAT they are asking. They might give you 3 sentences of...

Good advice. I wish I had paid closer attention to you guys before the FIRST time I took the NREMT Paramedic test.

I carry a Raptor, an extra pair of trauma shears (the Paramedics I've worked with never carry them...so I'm going to break that cycle when I get my own truck next week), at least 3 pens because my partners steal them, a knife, and my pager. That's it. OH, and a penlight.

I hope it works out for you. As long as you hit everything, you should be fine, but make sure you get the rhythm right. No rhythm, no points. Keep us posted. And thank you!

I went through the same issue a couple of years ago (kind of...I just couldn't find a job where I was living). The problem is, there are SO many EMTs that jobs are extremely hard to come by. It took me uprooting my entire family, and moving from my lifelong home in Missouri, to take a job in...

The way we were taught in my Paramedic program is to start off the rhythm by identifying it, and then pretty much rattle off the algorithm. The style we were taught was (using your Vfib strip for example) went like: "This is Vfib. LOC, CAB, O2, IV, Monitor, Fluid (just so that part is out of...

JB Learning TestPrep is pretty amazing. When I took EMT, I used the Crash Course book, and the one REA puts out. It has a practice test at the end of it too. It helped, and I passed the Registry the first time. Good luck!

I agree, the JB Learning test prep page is good stuff. I used it, and I like the quality of the questions they provide. Oh, and by the way, GOOD LUCK! I'm sure you'll do great!

I took the NREMT Paramedic test initially on May 26. It shut off at 80 questions, and I was completely devastated to find out that I had failed. So, I waited the 15 days (I'm pretty thankful for that 15 day waiting period by the way)...and rescheduled for today at 1045am. The test shut off at...

Passed the NREMT today! I'm a Paramedic!

Hey guys. I know there are numerous posts about this topic, but I'm seriously stressed out. I'm going to Paramedic school currently, and up to this point have been doing very well (a foreign concept to me, if you saw my grades in High School). We've come to the dreaded topic of Med math. I...

I was just curious if anybody has any experience with the CEU solutions website to gain CEU's towards recertification? I JUST passed the NREMT exam (literally--Tuesday the 17th) and got my State license. I want to get a jump on all of that stuff though so I don't get caught with my pants down...

I borrowed a book from a former coworker of mine called Emergency Medical Technician: A Crash Course. It's published by REA and it's pretty much the entire class condensed down in outline form. If you buy the book you get a code to a practice test. If you choose not to buy the book and still...
