I did an 8 y/0. Major psych issues, though I never found out what as the parents were completely in denial and wouldn't admit she had issues. Basically we arrive I'm scene and we see a little girl banging on the second story window, her screams overpowering the sirens. As we step out she throws...

That, sir, is very true. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Norwalk officially starts sponsoring the new guidelines August 1st, haven't had a code in almost 3 weeks so one is overdue.

Hey all, Southwest OEMS of CT is getting new spinal precautions soon. I've had a little experience with them riding along with the Paramedics out of Yale-New Haven (they're doing a sort of "beta test"), and it's pretty crazy. Essentially there's no C-spine at all. Toss a collar on the guy...

I believe the minimum is between 70-120 questions for it to be within 95% accuracy of your competency level. You can go out earlier or later, but between 70-120 is the minimum range where it can get accurate results on everyone.

Hey Nepell! Been licensed in CT for about a year now and riding active for 6 months. I had some of the same issues you did. Once you receive your passing results, it can take up to 4-6 weeks for the review and certify process to take place. It personally took mine only 2 weeks, but I've had...

Congrats on being almost done! For a prep site, I recommend JBlearning, it really helped me a lot. I took the NREMT 9 months after finishing my course and passed first time, and I think JBL helped a lot with that. Just google search "JBlearning Navigate EMT" and you shouldn't have any trouble...

Hey guys. Kinda a random question but I've been wondering what the website/letter says if you fail the NREMT. Luckily I passed my first time around, but for those who weren't as lucky, does it just say "failed" or does it give you reasons for why you weren't successful?

Nice! I took about 35 minutes and stopped at 70, so I think that's a good sign you passed! Best of luck.

I really loved JBlearning. Questions were really similar to the test and the site allows you to either take a timed, full 120 question "final" test, or a customized practice test. It also gives you a complete breakdown of each "final" test you take, which helps you craft more tests that put...

Thought I'd share this information with you guys. Some of you probably already know it, but it's useful for those who are taking the test for the first time. Personally I had no idea that you had to be accurate within a certain range to get points for the vital signs...

I passed when I ended exactly at 70. please refer to the thread that the first reply states for further questions.

It stopped at exactly 70 questions for me, cut to the "Please confirm you are about to submit this test", and then turned black. Took it on a friday, nremt.org was updated monday at 9am with the results (I passed). A few other friends took it, they all stopped between 70-80, and they all...

I failed medical and KED. KED: Make sure that cervical collar is one tight! That's the only thing I messed up. Medical: Know your physiology, the first time around I hit every single point, but didn't properly diagnos the issue. At least here in CT, if you don't properly identify the NOI...

I have my NREMT-B practical tomorrow. I'm only testing on the medical/KED stations (I passed the rest other times around). Any final suggestions? Also quick question. In my class, and from what I know from ride alongs, the KED is applied using My Baby Looks Hot Tonight (Middle, Boton, Legs...

Thanks for the reply! (and for looking at your sheet). C-Spine precautions were taken during the Scene Size-Up as the sheet calls for. I may have missed the "vocalizing for more units", though I did identify that since there was only one patient that it was not my opinion that additional troops...

Yes. Patient was a 2/3 on the Cincinnati stroke scale. (Facial droop and slurred speech)

Hey guys! First post here so I apologize if it's been answered before or if I have placed it in the wrong area. Anyway, I recently took my NREMT practical exam (EMT-B) in Connecticut. First time around I passed Trauma,AED,Airway,and Random. KED and Medical posed some problems to me. I...
