I took the EMT-B course last year also a summer crash course, I was much more confident then and fresh I could say, attempted the NREMT twice and did not pass it, It doesn't really phase me I will do whatever it takes to pass that exam. I was just wondering if anyone has ever been in my situation, this time I am going to really focus and study a lot more, we are using the orange AAOS book in our curriculum and EMStesting.com from personal experience I feel that emt-national-training.com is a great study guide, just for that extra assurance I'm going to use that as well. Thoughts and comments please guys just so I know what direction to continue or head in

NP, the thing that bothered me all during EMS week was all the EMS organisations touting that people should "Thank a paramedic" for what they do. I think that's a load of crap. We do our jobs 51 other weeks of the year and don't go around asking for thanks. That's just pathetic. I consider it a week for medics to reflect on the service they provide and renew their commitment to their patients.

Wow, nicely done. I knew there was a reason I like you so much. Just to show that I "get it" I'll share my EMS week Facebook post on here since some of our brothers and sisters don't use the Crackbook. And at the end of EMS week:

The exam is written to a 9th grade education level. Yes the computer adaptive testing is a different challenge, It still requires that you have good comprehension of the course knowledge and were actually awake in class & not playing or texting on your phone. anxiety is high, Especially after being strip searched by the Pearson Vue gestapo folks to get into the testing sites.

I thought the NR was adequate. Hard enough to weed out the ones not dedicated. No so hard it couldn't be passed..

The fact you state "this time you are going to focus and study a lot more" relays to me that you were either not serious or thought it was going to be an easy task the first two times........ Whilst being an emt-b in the states is a lot easier than here, you still need to put the effort in....don't be complacent, do the study, check out more sites to prepare.....ask for assistance.......his is up to you, no one will give you the qualification you seek if you don't show you have worked for it Good luck

Keep going I finished in march and took the NREMT 2x . The 2nd time I passed I used class notes and emtprep.com to prep for testing . You can do it !!!

Your personal experience shows it is not that great of a study guide. I would try jb learning or Vue. Maybe tutoring or a brush up prep course? Good luck!

I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew - And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
