So as I've posted before I am a former (non nationally registered) medic trying to return to the field after a change of state. I tried to get nationally registered in 2013 and failed 2 or the 12 stations twice (static cardio and a medical verbal practical) I was extremely dejected and I've decided this year that I will give it another go to try and get nationally registered and have spent a ton of money on a refresher course (code 3 CME.. not a bad resource I suppose) and practice apps on my phone and the past couple months doing practice exams on an EMT prep site. My written is in a week and my practical is at the end of the month (so nervous)
The purpose of this thread is to attempt to get some clarification on the process of national registry and ask some questions that don't really make a whole lot of sense to me. I suppose the first being... why doesn't national registry allow preceptors to inform the candidates what was done improperly? this question popped into my head because of a thread I read earlier stating that national registry questions wont be posted on here. I'm not going to mention the scenario because of the thread mentioned but I got it twice and failed it both times! I thought I corrected possible mistakes that I did the first time.
Is memorizing the skill sheets really all that is necessary to pass the practical? (obviously appropriate interventions are necessary as well)
why does the written seem like such a gamble? some people get 70questions and fail some get 70 and pass some get 150 questions and fail others get 150 and pass.. there doesnt seem to be any consistent trend (that i've seen on here anyhow). and what exactly the purpose of testing in this way?
Sorry for the rant but I just had to get this off of my chest. Thank you for getting through this and if you reply... lets keep it civil yeah? not trying to start a comments war. thank you again.
