bored.......

I just took the most challenging test I have ever seen as a medic, the FC-P exam. it's a flight certified-paramedic exam and it knocked my socks off. A 50% passing rate when this test first came out, now it's something like 75%. Wasn't as tough as I thought it was going to be, but just very difficult to get through. Check out the link to see what was expected for the test. I'm glad the place I work for doesn't require you to have this cert. We train our own on procedures, so my job is safe for now :P
flight test crap needed to know......
 
Good Lord!!!


There was a nice little list of books there though that I'm going to have to add to my collection.

Good for you - now that you're done I owe you a drink. :D We need to get together soon!
 
Hey EMTStudent- I think I am taking the same test tonight. Patient Assessment - Chapters 7-12. And yes, its 4 am and I cannot sleep, so I figured I would re-read the chapter.

I sure hope we get more than 50 questions though.

Hey Princess!

Sounds like it... what book are you using???

I don't have mine with me (at work) but I will PM you with the book name...

I found out that less than half the class passed that test, so they have to do it over. (Ouch!) I feel really bad for one of my classmates...she studies very hard and puts a good effort into it, and she didn't pass the test. She knows the stuff too, but I think she suffers from really bad test anxiety.

We are doing "Communication, Documentation & Respiratory Emergencies" this week.... chapers 11, 12 and 14.

Hopefull we will have our clinical signups this week since last week it was canceled. Our clinicals were supposed to start next Sunday... :unsure:
I am very nervous.

Anyways, hope things go well with that test!!! Let me know how you did?
 
We are using the Brady Emergency Care Ed 10.

Yep, patient assessment test tonight. Chapters 7-12. I had to pee so bad during the test, I went through the 100 questions in about 20 minutes. Turned it in. Said Yep as the instructor asked if I was sure and headed for the door.

While we were standing around waiting for our grades of course we were talking about questions. I went through the test so fast I couldn't really remember the questions on there. But the one I do remember was "How do you check for Hypoxia in a dark skinned person?" (or something like that.)

And sure enough I picked C. The whites of the eyes.

I know its wrong. I knew it then.

One girl in the class made a point of saying just how "f'ing stupid" and she couldn't believe what a "dumb ***" I must have been for choosing whites of the eyes. I just smiled and said "Maybe we shouldn't go down this road. You know, rehashing who is actually doing better in this class."

Instructor calls us up. Hands back grades. I got a 90!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!

We won't discuss who failed. There was only one. And she wasn't calling anybody "f-ing anything" as she stomped her feet and swore the entire way to her car.
 
ok people, I'm soooooo f@ckin' excited. I passed that flight certified - Paramedic test that I wrote about a few pages back in this thread. My current job on the heli doesn't require it, but now it's official, and I can go anywhere I want in the USA. Wooooo, go me...... :D
