LOL! Well, all I can tell you that comes to mind is to know the difference between hyper/hypocarbia and the whys, know the contraindications for ET tubes, and how to calculate a drip rate. When you take the test, there is always 2 answers you can throw out as wrong immediately. That leaves you with two possibles...look out for "always" and "never" type answers as they are usually the distractors.
Thanks...but I wish someone would tell me what to do with all my time now! Been so long studying, doing clinicals, working and trying to have some sort of life that I don't know how to relax!
I am in Michigan, and work for a private service now as an EMT-B in the urban decay of Flint. Here, they use the NREMT as the standard. First you must pass an accredited medic class to be eligible to take the NREMT written and practical. You then pay the $$$ to NREMT, test with them (it doesn't matter anymore if you take the written first or the practical) and when you pass they send you the results. You submit those results with your other stuff (ALCS card, etc) to the State of michigan along with more $$ and 4-6 weeks later you get your license to practice. It's a lot of hoops to jump though.
