Hi and welcome to the forum :)

Also, the EMT-IV level is more that just "IV certification" The EMT-IV can push D50/25, administer glucagon IM, epiniphirine IM/SQ, administer nebulized albuterol breathing treatments, and can utilize CPAP if necessary.

I myself am an EMT-IV. I believe that state is going to a more nationalized curriculum; the state is supposed to change the IV name to Advanced and put a basic level back in. We are supposed to get the ability to push narcan and it is rumored that Advanced may be able to intubate in the future...

Welcome to the crazy world of EMS. Any dual lumen stethoscope is pretty good; you can get them for like 30 bucks.

Welcome to the forum B)

It's me

Read each question carefully because that test can be tricky. Pick the best answer. Don't give each queston a second thought because that could lead you to pick the wrong answer. The material in the test is pretty basic so if you've done well in class then you should do fine on the NREMT.

72 and passed :)

72 but dont know if i passed or failed yet.

I take my NREMT on Thursday. I hope I do well. I've been studying and I feel prepared for it.

Study, take your time, read each question carefully and select your answer carefully

My trigger is by saying that its slow and tones come out from nowhere.

I put them on before I get out of the unit.

Study, study, study...don't be nervous, be confident, and study your skills checkoff sheets and don't do any of the critical mistakes.

Personally, I don't like the automatic BP cuffs, I'd rather use the manual cuff; but we do carry them on our trucks.

Hello my name is Steven. I am new here and thought I'd introduce myself. I am an EMT-IV student and I'll be ready for the state and NREMT tests in a month and a half. Any EMS people from Tennessee?

It depends on your scope of practice. In Tennessee an EMT can establish an IV and adminsiter D50 or glucagon via IM injection. But if your asking when its best to adminster oral or D50...I would give it orally if the person could follow directions and was making sense if you can give D50...

Tennessee is implementing the EMT-Advanced level as well, which is an extension of the current EMT-IV level. The EMT-A will be intubating unresposive pt's, administering Narcaan, applying CPAP, and doing 12 lead EKG monitoring...might as well go to Paramedic school....no use doing ALS at BLS...

I know Tennessee is considering getting rid of National Registry and use some other agency for curriculum and certification standards.
