Paramedic Practical

[AMESEMT]

Hi everyone!

Sorry it has been so long since posting. I did not realize how extensive clinical and field time really was. But I had an AMAZING time! By far the ambulance time was the best. So I take the practical (paramedic) on October 18th, here in 2 weeks. Anyone who has taken it recently have any words of advice. I understand there are a lot of ACLS type stuff like static cardiology, dynamic (similar to mega code), and IV and medication station, a trauma, and a medical station. Thanks for any advice.

Go to www.nremt.org and print off the skills sheets. Memorize those and you'll pass without a problem. They even list the critical fail criteria associated with the station. They couldn't possibly spoon-feed the practical exam any more than that. :roll:

Don't forget to review your BLS skills. Often a commonly missed item when I've helped out at these things.

Well, I took my practical on Saturday. I passed! That was a long day (12 hours). I am glad to have that over with and next is the written. As soon as I am approved I am going to schedule it.
