I don't know if the rules for the VA state exam practicals differ from the NREMT or other states...
But aren't you allowed to backtrack if you accidentally forget a step and later verbalize it within the 10 minute time span?
I passed everything but the Medical station because I didn't say a step in order. I accidentally administered the medication before contacting medical control. As soon as I administered it, I quickly said that I forgot to contact medical control and then I verbalized everything, but he told me that you're not allowed to backtrack. Is that correct? Because I remember my instructor telling me that we were allowed too as long as we say everything within the length of time given. :glare:
