Anyone here taken the TP-C?

Thank you all for the congrats! Hey ExpatMedic0.... Good luck. I'm sure you won't have a problem with it. I saw Faudree's book but had so many already. Let me know how it is.

I passed the test using Will's videos, the ACE SAT book and the Back to Basics book. If you use these 3 things you will be well prepared. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

I'll gladly host them for everyone to download if anyone can get their hands on them.

Nothing yet. Hoped TransportJockey was able to get them off his itunes. I got the book but it's a no go on the podcasts so far.

Oh yeah I have the Back to Basics also. Left it at home though. Will go through that when I get to the states before I take the test.

Keep going for it. Even after you get finish paramedic school, you are still going to need a few years of experience before you will qualify for any of the contracting jobs. Even the clinic jobs over here require that. You'll probably have to get on a truck again and work as a paramedic for a...

I am proud to call myself a paramedic but If I had to do over again I probably would have gone the PJ route. If I was going to go strictly for the money I would probably say the nursing route (let the flaming begin. lol) But I'm proud of where I am and proud to be a paramedic. No regrets...

Thanks I have more study material than you can imagine. I have both the Will Wingfield videos at www.theresqshop.com and his ACE SAT book to go along. Also the Anthony Baca videos are good. His site is www.camanagement1.org For books the Critical Care Transport book by the AAOS is helpful...

Hello all, I am getting ready to take the FP-C in the next couple of weeks and had a question for those of you that have taken the computer based test. Does the computer allow you to go back to previous questions after you have answered them to review or change? Or does it move forward...

UFL has just started doing their Critical Care Paramedic program as distance education also. You still have to go to Gainesville for a few days to do a 12-Lead class, cadaver lab and clinical rotations in the ICU (Shands). After you finish this you will take the final there. Everything else is...

Lateral in the anatomic position would be along the thumb side of the forearm. I believe that from about the level of the deltoid down the arm to the thumb is C6.

Some states actually have a Critical Care level of licensure. Off the top of my head I think Tennessee has one and Alaska calls their Mobile Intensive Care Paramedic. Also check out he University of Florida's new program (fairly new). Have talked to this guy a couple of times and it sounds...

I come from a hospital based service in an area where Fire just runs first response. No ALS. So obviously I feel we belong more with HHS than DHS. In Florida EMS falls under the Dept of Health also. Not the department of law enforcement or the Florida Fire College or State Fire Marshalls office...

I don't know of any place that checks your grades. That doesn't mean that some don't. Most places I know of will give you an exam to take to test your knowledge. As long as you know the stuff. Reminds me of something I heard one time - "What do you call a doctor that made an A? - Doctor"...

The pay largely depends on where you work. As an EMT Basic I made $50k-$55k as a paramedic it was $60k-$65k. We had a few making over $70k but they had been there a while. We were hospital based but we have an ALS fire dept here that pays the same. I know some of the fire dept down south FL pay...

I have a friend I worked with the last couple of years in Iraq that just landed in Qatar a couple of days ago. I'll see if I can find out what company it's with and the details.

I think it's going to largely depend on your state. You can check out herotrng.com and distancecme.com. I used DistanceCME for my paramedic refresher the last 2 rounds and I used to work with Anne at H.E.R.O Training. One of those might work but it depends again on your state. I know...

I've listened to a few others. ICU Rounds EMCrit EMS Lecture Series The FlightBridgeED Podcast Dirt Medicine Mostly I look at the topics and pick ones that sound interesting and download those. I hope someone can find the Pharmacology ones though. I'm downloading the PHTLS ones now. I do...

If I get them I will definitely post the link for download. I like the ICU Rounds. Haven't listened to the PHTLS ones but am looking that up now.
