    Post the # your test stopped at, and if you Passed/Failed

    Took my NREMT-Basic for the first time yesterday, test stopped at 120. Felt like I didn't pass but at the same time the test didn't seem hard at all. Was checking my e-mail every 10 min, found out this morning I am now NREMT certified!

    FISDAP Exam in 3 hours...

    Yea the thing about this test is that you can't really study that well for it. Its a bunch of MD's and doctors that grab info from ALL of the EMT books nationwide and put it all in one test and sum it up in 200 questions. At least thats what our instructor told us. In my experience, the test was...

    FISDAP Exam in 3 hours...

    Just finished, got an 80%. Sad to say that 6 in our class failed so they have to re-test one more attempt. They told us the same thing, if we score a 67% or better on this the NR would be ALOT easier. Was so glad when they told me my score. phew, now I just have to wait for the state to send me...

    How much clinical time did you have in your Basic class?

    Started my class last week aswell. Over here we need 24 hours in the ER room, 3 8 hour shifts, and 72 hours on the ambulance, 3 24 hour shifts. But the catch is that we need to complete 15 PCR's on the ambulance, and since we are in "slow season" down here, we might have to do more than 72 hours...

    GPS and Ambulances

    Hey guys, just had a quick question, probably kind of dumb but I cant seem to find the answer anywhere. The question is: If a companies ambulance has a GPS in it, and you are called to a scene, does the address feed from the dispatch directly to the ambulance's GPS, or does it have to be...

    A question about age........

    Just wondering, what state do you live in and what is the pay rate around for an EMT-B or a Paramedic? I mean, the county I live in here in Florida pays more than well for an EMT-B, only 4 months of school. I'm curious to know if you dont mind what a CNA makes in your state, and also, an EMT-B...
