    New NREMT practical stations

    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...

    CT Medic Program

    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...

    Paramedic programs in CT

    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...

    Hi everyone~ I'm an EMT in CT, where the state has recently come to the decision that Advanced and Intermediate EMT certs will no longer be recognized-- only Basic and Paramedic levels. That said, an Advanced course will be running in a few weeks, and despite this new certification...

    not assertive enough? advice please

    Hi Brandnewemt~ I'm a newbie as well. I have gone on 4 calls so far since finishing my basic class. I'm still pretty nervous but eager to learn. I feel confident about my "textbook" knowledge, but I'm overwhelmed by it at the same time. I feel like I have so much info in my head that when I'm on...

    how does the scoring work?

    HA! I took the test last week and had a ton of helicopter questions, which I'm certain weren't in the book. As I took the exam, those questions kept popping up~ were driving me crazy! I, too, passed (phew!), but I thought the test was very hard and asked a lot of strange questions. I think the...

    NREMT repetitive questions, etc..

    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...

    NREMT repetitive questions, etc..

    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...

    Paramedic Training in CT

    Thanks again for your reply. It's so good to hear this and chat with someone with experience. I love being in the program, and I realize it's nothing compared to actually being in the field. I respect experience more than I can adequately say in typed words here and really must reiterate that...

    alabamatriathlete, Thanks for your reply~ Your B-course was THAT big? Wow, mine has only 14 in it. I'm currently taking EMT-Basic and I know I'm going to want to be a Paramedic. Can you tell me if I'll need a certain amount of field experience to get into a Paramedic track? I figure I'll...

    Paramedic Training in CT

    Hi everyone, Does anyone know of a solid paramedic program in CT? I live near Bridgeport. I hear Bridgeport Hospital has a program. There's also a few colleges in the area that offer one. Does one have a better reputation over the other? Is it better to take one from a hospital than from a...
