Why am I suddenly thinking about the picture of the guy that Phridae posted in the thread Cool Pics? Just think, Wingnut, it could have been MUCH worse!
Well if this EMT thing doesn't work out....

For that.......I am grateful!
ok, I teach a medic class, and I had a ditzy student last year who was all chest and nothing in her head. She was busy bullshitting with her firend that was next to her during a trauma senerio in class. She was taking the pt's bp, trying to still ******** wither friend and put the stethascope on the pt's elbow. SHe tried to take the BP twice like that until she noticed what she was doing and turned all red. I was just staring at her wondering what in the hell she was doing. She didn't live that down for a long time. P.S she didn't make it through the class.......... :blink:

What color is your hair? :huh: [/b][/quote]
What do you have against people and their hair color? :huh:
I was also the youngest in my class. Doing the whole high school and college thing. It was rough. Going to HS full time, a pt job and 16 hours of emt class a week. Lets not mention the class was held on a campus 40 minutes away. Needless to say I never got more than 5 hours of sleep last winter. Not pleasent. I was pretty cranky the whole time.
Thankfully, I was not the ditzy one in class. I didnt pay attention too much though. I passed, thankfully. It was the people who were constantly in their books, having mass study session and asking questions everytime the instructor inhaled to start her lecture that fail the class. I think they put too much thought into it.

I remember a group like that in my class as well. They had a two day study session for the final test and practicals. I know for a fact 2 did not pass anything, a couple ended up going to a different site to take the practicals over, and one became to scared to even try the practicals.

WOW
Makes me wonder if I am over doing it????? I spend all my weekends studying (I do take breaks and spend time with friends and family) and I have a study group which meets once a week...
So far, I am doing okay.. I have a 91% in my class and it's getting higher... But I hope I don't end up like those "others"

Ask Medic03 - we started out our basic class with 98 -100% averages, while our friends were having trouble getting by... then we stopped reading the book while our friends started studying... and we all met in the middle. :lol:
Medic03 - I miss our little group in the back of the room!

Okay one for being in a nursing class right now I am finding that this semester I have done the study guides a head of time. Sit with the class ( total of 9 students). We study before the test and quiz each other. I have reread the notes (powerpoints) and other hand outs before I go to bed the night before the test. and generally once or twice before the test. Then we generally sit around a BS untill the test. so far so good. I would say don't but to much extra studying. If you're doing alright then you should keep it up. Take you time on the test My largest down fall. Then before the national I would say review the topics that are on the national test and take it easy.

[/b][/quote]Yeah, traction splint, telephone pole....I dont know. Its a toss up.
I was also a back of the class room person. No one wants to sit in front, and all the middle seats were taken. I ened up getting along great with everyone else back there. And I didn't know anyone when I first walked into that class room.
I had my first IV-tech class tonight. Same thing, I knew no one. Until, 5 minutes late, a girl who was in my basic class walked in. I was so happy to see her. I wasnt alone!
