Hi,
I recently took the NREMT test and unfortunately failed. I did really well in my state EMT class and passed with flying colors. I am not sure what happened. I know that we all had to wait for three weeks until we were even able to pass the test and I start ed a full time job and had a lot on my mind.
I am not making excuses just trying to give you the whole picture.
I want to retest but I am concerned about not passing again . I want to be an EMT and I want to work in EMS.
Does any one have any thoughts or advice on this situation?
Thanks!

Everyone,
I was just wondering if any of you have allergies to various things that might affect your job. I am allergic to smoke, cats, dogs, dust, grass etc. But my worst allergies are the cats, dogs and smoke.
It really depends on the situation. Like with dogs I have to actually pet them or be around them for an extended period of time. With cats if I stay for an extended period of time I usually get watery eyes and start sneezing.
I take an albuteral inhaler when I need it and singular at night time for my asthma but I have heard people tell me that they take an allergy pill in the morning and they are fine all day. I know I can take my inhaler and should probably carry that with me on calls but as you all know can only take that so often.
I am concerned about going into the homes of pts. that may have some of these present.
Any advice, tips, stories please share.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am an NREMT Canidate from WV. I passed my state EMT class with out any problems. I recently took my NREMT test and unfortunately failed.
I have worked in EMS for years as a 911 Dispatcher at a small service in my home town. Although private and small we can become busy.
I honestly have thought about not re testing and leaving EMS to all of you folks but I have to admit that when I see an Ambulance I want to be that in there helping people.
