So, i'm starting class on the 20th and got a call the other day about my cpr cert. I don't have one, nor did i take a class in high school/college. SO, i am just wondering if anyone has any tips for me. What should i expect on the test. I'm getting my info from an emt near the school im taking my course at... but im anxious now lol. Thanks! B)

Press the chest 1 1/2 down than return to original position. at a rate of 100 times per minute.

After you finish 30 compressions, breath air into the manicuns body while watching chest rise (to make sure the airway isn't obstructed) than return 30 compressions.

For "That Guy" on the streets, once you start, you don't stop until one of three things happen. Area becomes hostile (not safe conditions) requiring you to relocate. or your body becomes so tired after doing it, you "just can't do it no more" or EMS arrives.

But in your case, just go with what your EMT-B class tells you to do.

Worry about the last part when the time comes


Just relax, don't look and act like a whacker. Most of all, have fun in class.
 
Welp, was done with my class about a week ago. Passed my NREMT-B test about 5 days ago. All I need to do now is live scan and go to my local ems office and get my Ambulance Driver Certificate.
 
I start EMT-B training next monday night. Excited, eager to learn and train. I'm most excited about learning new things than anything else. But then comes the dilemma... do I continue on to paramedic school or do I pursue a radiology degree ??? hmm, I have 6 months to think.
 
Yea the CPR was super easy... altho they guy kinda talked slow and i was really eager to get out of there because we were suppose to go tubing that day. i showed up to the lake an hour before everyone left :( i was so mad. It shouldn't have taken over an hour i think. o well. at least im done
 
Getting your CPR cert > tubing. Luckily my CC offered first aid/CPR as a class and credit. Sucks that it wont transfer but I got in-depth first aid and CPR training. I've found that CPR classes given in high school and college are far better than the classes you pay for. At least around here.
 
Hey guys i took an emt class last year and dropped out about half way threw due to the program having little clarity and a large number of students the class seemed like the teachers wanted you to fail to make the class smaller.

Anyways i was wondering if you guys can reccomend some emt classes in the Southern Cali area that are pretty clear. I have some study issues that i have been working on so im looking for a class that really helps you prepare for tests and gives you a pretty good outlook on what to actually study.
 
start my EMT class tonight. I'm more excited than nervous. wish me luck!

Well good luck, I started my class last week and its going great. I am learning alot, there is alot of information and skills I have to learn fairly quickly, but I am really enjoying it.
 
I'm going to my 4th class tonight. I'm a little shocked how much information we went through in the first two weeks! Hopefully it will level out. Any advice is appreciated!!!
 
Im 29 and start my class August 25th. I have always wanted to do this but decided to have my kids first. I cant wait :)
 
my loan came through, look like i get to go to school :D class starts the 29th
 
Just passed my PSE this afternoon. I have a week before the written and don't anticipate getting out much between now and then.
 
almost done

name is scott from mississippi 29 years old and got 3 classes left and then the nremt exam
 
Hi,
I'm adam from TN and I start an EMTB-IV program at the end of the month. Any suggestions about studying and/or clinicals?

Thanks
 
I started my Basic class tonight... and found out i need some shots.... that stinks. i recently moved put of my moms house... and she recently moved out of her house... so im praying that she still has my records... if not im screwed... i don't mind needles, unless they are for me.
 
Contact your old highschool and get the records from them.

I graduated in 06 (but was class of 07...) and both my old highschools STILL have my shot records.
