What program did you go to and where?
Did you love it? Did you Hate it? Was it just okay?
Would you refer a prospecting EMT/Medic to it?
How prepared were you for the NREMT/other tests you took?
How long was it?
How much did it cost?
I went to my community college my first time around and a) hated it and b) didnt finish because my grandmother had breast cancer and I had to take care of her. Second time around, I went to Unitek College's 2 Week EMT Boot Camp in Freemont, CA. 14 days strait, 14 hours a day and I LOVED IT. My instructors were HYSTERICAL and took a really "in-the-field" approach to teaching the class, and I came out and passed the NREMT-B on my first try. Also, I didn't feel like I was memorizing things, but rather, learning to incorporate new information into my patient assessments, treatments, and thought process.
My favorite part of my program was something the program called "Trauma Sunday." Essentially, we worked for 14 hours, with MCI scenarios in public *they had to inform the police station ahead of time* that had actors, fake blood, animal entrails, and tons of other things that made us feel like it was the real thing. We responded to a lot of crazy scenarios like a tornado *this one was at night, and we had to look for patients in trees*, and a shooting.
But yah, this was all done over a super intense 14 days at a hotel, so you had to stay there.
However, the only drawback, was since it took place at a hotel, and they had to pay for our meals and trauma sunday, it costed me something like 3 grand.

our class only had 2 people fail, one of which was before, during, and after class.
