Excited! Passed my bls course today with a 100%. I know it's just bls and simple compared to what I'll be learning in EMT, but still!

Now to get this shot, and titre draw, then the accuplacer, and I can turn my stuff in.

Talking about the AHA CPR class? Congrats. :)

The class is pretty short and not impressive compared to EMT or paramedic didactic, and even those are short compared to other healthcare disciplines, but I remember when I first got my CPR card, I was so happy. It was the first time I accomplished anything in a long time it felt like.

Keep up the good work. Good luck on EMT.

Congrats!

I've been surprised on how many people have failed BLS. I've had several doctors fail and have to remediate. Mostly its their attitude.

Do not down play this. That's a hell of an achievement. Time and time again I've seen BLS providers out shine RNs and doctors on scene.

Thats kind of embarrassing lol, then again I guess if you are a dermatologist and have not had BLS in 15 years I could see that happening. (No offense to any dermatologists here)

I like how my wife had said she would probably never need to use it (she took this with me). My response was yeah... I probably will. Thanks for the kind wishes!

Yup!!

When I worked on a rig I've had nurses on scene panicking on what to do. I still see nurses panic in the hospital setting. Most seasoned basics have better critical thinking skills then nurses. Nurses get lazy with all the support they have around them..
