They don't put your grades on your EMT Patch....

For me I think the class was just not taught well enough.

Our classes were 4 hours long. The first two were out of the books, the last two were all practicals. Back then I could ABC, BP, Resp., Pulse and backboard someone in my sleep. Ask me what this or that part of the body was and I was all :unsure: . Now that I'm older (28 now, was 20/21 when I went through the class) and have a more appreciation for the work I'd like to go through First Responder school again.

One day, maybe one day.
 
My EMT instructor came in the first day and said, "I don't give a @#$% wether or not you pass this class. I will give you everything you need and all of the instruction you need to pass it. Further than that its up to you to study and practice. If you dont do this for yourselves then I don't want you on a rig with me anyway which is exactly why I do not care if you pass this class." Or something to that effect...
 
Wow, my class was nothing like any of yours. It was pretty easy, and 32 out of 33 passed. Then again I'm used to torture (working 14 hour days for several months out of the year) so maybe I was just numb to it. I dunno...
