As most of you have read here, I am currently taking the EMT-B course. And I bust my butt to stay in the top 3 in my class.
So yesterday we had another test, and the youngest member of our class comes in and hands the instructor a note. He reads it, gets a really pissy look on his face and asks her if she is joking. She says Nope, the Dr says I have ADD/ADHD and I dont have to take my exam if I have to sit in the same room as everyone else. We were all like So she gathered her cell phone and went outside while we all took the test.
As we get done and go outside to wait for everyone to finish, she starts doing her little happy dance about not having to take the test. She says, the reason she is failing the course is because she is ADD/ADHD and having to take a test sitting in the same room at the rest of us distracts her and she cannot concentrate, so the DR wrote her a note and said she has to be in a room that is just her and one instructor when she takes exams.
So I was like, "Well what are you going to do if you pass this course and get out in the field and you have a baby as your patient and the mama is screaming at you to save her baby, and the babies brother is asking you if his sister is gonna die, and the babies daddy is all over you trying to help? or What are you going to do when you have an MVC with 4 or 5 patients and they are crying, or yelling, and begging you to not let them die, and why won't you help them? Are you going to show them your DR note and ask them to be quiet because you cannot concentrate if there is more than one person around?"
And she asks me why I am such a Bi*ch. One of the guys in the class said I wasn't being one, he wants to know what she is going to do as well.
And if thats not bad enough, this girl had the nerve to ask us what was on the exam so she would know what to study!!!! :angry: :angry:
Now what I want to know is, when we go to take the NR/State exam, will she be allowed "special accomodations" (i.e. just her and one proctor in a room) since she has a note from her DR?
For the record, I don't subscribe to the "I have ADD/ADHD whining and complaining and that is why my life is so hard, and you have to pity me and bend over backwards to make my life easy so that way I don't get stressed out and be forced to take responsiblity for my own actions" defense. This particular girl is the same on that told me she DOES NOT STUDY!!! She only hits the highlights 2 hours before the test.
UGH!!!
Thanks. I am better now.
