Nremt says I failed but personally I feel like I passed.

ventricular tachycardia cannot be shocked.

Pulseless V Tach you can defibrillate. V Tach with a pulse is another story that you don't need to worry about. You defibrillate pulseless V Tach and V Fib. You don't defibrillate Asystole and PEA.

I only use the monitor in the AED a function because I don't got time to read a rhythm..

well the answer choice that are to not be canceled out are ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. because i know the other 2 answer choices were not it. if only the answer choice of ventricular tachycardia would say pulse less ventricular tachycardia instead.
 
It's still a better option than AFib... Especially since an AED will shock VT whether there's a pulse or not. AF is not correct at all though, since the question stated it was an AED.

*I'm still leaning towards (and hoping) it's a troll...
 
you know, based on some of the OP's answers, I think it's pretty clear that despite what he questions he got correct, he has indeed failed the test. Even the statements he has made about when to use the AED shows that he needs to study everything again, and actually learn what he does not know, and not just say the test is unfair because NREMT says he failed, but he thinks he really passed.

OP, if the test said you failed, than feel free to contact the NREMT to dispute it; however I'm pretty sure they will tell you that you didn't pass the exam, and need to study harder and actually learn the correct material in order to pass the test
 
If you are absolutely certain that an AED can be used to shock afib, please stop paying people for EMS related courses and tests. Just stop.

The test is blind. The test doesn't care whether you're white, black, or rainbow colored. The test doesn't care if you want to date boys, girls, or animals(domesticated or undomesticated). The test only cares about whether or not you know the material, and can demonstrate that knowledge during the exam. there's no conspiracy. You either meet minimum competency or you don't.
 
The ER doc, the anesthesiologist, the chest x-ray, the absent lung sounds, and the lack of wave form capnography on scene all said I had an esophageal intubation but I personally feel that I got the tube.

Well I mean... you kinda are...



Well... technically speaking you can defibrillate A-Fib... should you defibrillate A-Fib? No.

Technically you can defibrillated any rhythm you want...

Is this real life? According to the results you gave us you didn't pass ANY of the sections...not just operations. "Nearly Passing" is not passing.

Generally with adaptive testing if you feel like you passed, then the questions were too easy and therefore below passing standard. It should feel very hard because you should (at some point) start answering questions 50% incorrectly, unless your knowledge base greatly exceeds the most difficult level questions the exam has. When I took the NREMT-P written exam it was 150 questions and not adaptive. I passed the NCLEX-RN at 75 (minimum number) and at that number you either have passed or failed strongly.

The adaptive NREMT exams work the same way. If the test stops at the minimum, you clearly have passed or failed. Otherwise you are near passing and more questions must be asked to determine pass/fail, up to the max number of questions. You must pass all sections above passing standard to pass the exam.

Hello I have taken the nremt for a 2nd time, and I failed. but personally I feel like I passed it. I will admit I did get questions wrong and that I had failed the area of ems operations. Though my test results told me I was near passing in Airway Breathing and Ventilation, Cardiology and Resuscitation, Medical which included pregnancy and whatever else, and trauma. But I had failed ems operations. Now with what my test results are telling to go over because of what it thinks I am weak at, I'd say that that is wrong. I knew I got the questions right in what it was telling me to go over for studying. I know I got the questions right on cardiac rhythms, management of chest pain, and what to do for a patient who is suspected of having a spinal injury, and much more. Apparently you can pay 75 dollars to have the nremt to have someone to go over and review the test. Has anyone ever had the nremt to have a person to go over the test? I would like to know.

Highlighted a few things in bold...
2nd time taking the test...Did you not realize you were a bit weak on your knowledge after the first time and study again?

You say you were near passing...nearly passing is another way to state definitely failing...And you listed a lot of categories you "nearly passed", and one category you say you "failed". Might want to take another look at that...

Seems to me that $75 for someone to review your test isn't what you need...Probably closer to $600 and retake the EMT course.

As far as arguing shockable rhythms, without knowing what book you're using, here's a few links to the correct answer off of Google...

I feel like Im still 23, but I'm definitely not anymore...Doesn't make me 23...
 
The OP is right !!! I felt the same way when I took the doctor exam. They thunked I nearly past, but eye no I did. They're questions r wrong and Iw ill chanlunge this! I am a good doctor, I know my stuft.
 
1. You did not pass
2. What you think or feel accounts for absolutely zero
3. See number 1 and 2 then study some more so you can pass or forget it.

And if you think you can defibrillate AF, you are incompetent and possibly dangerously inadequately educated to work as an Ambulance Officer and should therefore, not be allowed to do so.
 
I feel like I'm a billionaire but the bank disagreed with me when I tried to take my money out of the safe.

OP, it sounds to me like you really need to find a new field.
 
While I agree EMS may not be this posters best career path, I think without dealing with the deeper issues of their delusions, they'll meet the same fate at the next stop, whatever that might be.
 
I know the feeling! But trust me when I say that jblearning.com really helped me in studying for the NREMT. You have to pay for it but it is worth it in the long run! I made myself do multiple tests a day and it really helped me to retain the information.
 
Man this OP got blasted. I am by no means a "veteran" on this website or in the field. Keep on keeping on though. Not sure what you want to do with your career in EMS but criticism is going to either push you to success or push you to failure. Keep on studying and PASS, not nearly pass, pass. You got it!

Blasted, but not out of proportion with the posts he made. Most of us tried to educate him.
