[Devoted85]

Just found out online that I passed my AEMT exam!! I'm so excited, and thought I'd share with everyone.

Congratulations! It's always a great feeling when you find out you passed.

 

[Handsome Robb]

Congratulations.

Are you employed in EMS or just beginning the search?

 

[Devoted85]

I worked on an ambulance about 5 years ago, and now work at a shipyard doing their medical clinic and safety. It's not something I want to stay in though, so I'm getting my medic and going back to what I love.

Congratulations!!!!! I've passed the course and am waiting until first week in January to take the exam.

@cynwms, awesome. It was a tough exam I say. Not terrible, but a LOT of patho on it. I felt like a lot of the questions could've gone 2 ways, but had to go with what I thought was the best answer. Medication questions were all easy. Best of luck my friend.

Is the AEMT exam like the others, a learning exam that cuts you off when you pass or fail.

 

[Devoted85]

No, not yet. It's so new that they don't have the data to make it work. Right now it's 135 questions in 135 minutes.

Devoted85, thank you so much for the heads up on patho. Being part of the guinea pig group has been really interesting.

 

[Devoted85]

No problem! Yeah guinea pig group was very interesting for us too.

I'm in Alabama -- what state are you in? Looking around the group, can't tell if they're offering AEMT in all states yet or not.

 

[bstone]

I take it you took the NREMT advanced exam?

 

[Devoted85]

I'm in Alabama as well. Guess you may know me haha. Where'd you go?? Yes, AEMT.

 

[cynwms]

Southern Union in Opelika.

 

[cynwms]

Ain't it a small world!

 

[Devoted85]

Haha, I go to the university of south alabama.

Nice to meet you! SUSCC is still ironing out some of the kinks in their program; think it'll be better next semester -- especially is they let Lyndal Curry have more say in the syllabus.

 

[Devoted85]

Lyndal Curry is amazing. Hands down. We're the same way though. I think next semester will be much better for them. Just glad I got through it.
