@haxlord That makes perfect sense in the real World like if NR actually understood that, but after I took it once I realized that NR should be banned. It is NOT a field relevant exam process . I would expect most of thecritical patients you'd treat using the NR process would die on you with their methods of testing if they were applied to field use !

second set of vitals is normal on a patient going into hypovolemic shock? o.O

@mckenna2211 sounds pretty subjective ... examiner can just decide "hey, I don't want you working on my mother ... you fail ."

[mckenna2211]

@wnaburgencesante I agree 100%, they need to judge you on weather they would want you working on their family. because you dont even need to know anything about paramedicine and can pass NR skills, you just need to memorize the sheets. im taking registry next week and ive just been memorizing the sheets, granted when we go to take the written thats where knowledge comes into play. stoked for the internship tho

@fakereality typically you have have 1 partner in the field. but since this is an auto v ped its assumed that youll have additional units. he requested additional units aswell, but on scene youll have pd and fire. pd are usually trained at the 1st responder level and fire are usually trained emts and medics

@213Gremlin

My best advice is to call some fire departments and ems departments you live near. Do a few ride alongs with them, if they allow it. See what it is like before making a commitment to school. Some towns and cities require medics to be firefighters. The majority of places don't. Be aware that not every EMS agency does 911 transport. They do nursing home to radiation treatment centers and so forth. Good luck with your search

@213Gremlin You first need to complete your EMT Basic course, which is around 6 months. When you are done with that, you take a state or national exam. You then can start to apply for paramedic school. The paramedic course runs almost 1 year. In addition to class room, you spend clinical hours in the Intensive care unit, ER, pediatric, operating room and some other floors. You also do a field internship on a paramedic unit. It's not super hard to pass the paramedic course and exam.
