Why do you feel its necessary to transport someone who just missed a meal? Alot of diabetics are negligent and if they sign the refusal after you gave them after care instructions then its on them, not you. I rarely transport diabetics unless they have another sign or symptom that is deemed unstable.

I am going to start PMED school in January. Its hard to make it as an emt-b. Getting a fire job is harder than I thought just being a basic.

ahh come on now guys Oklahoma is great! Just ask me. haha Def not a sooner fan though, i am a OSU COWBOY for sure!

Hey thanks again as always! Youve been alot of help.

I just took/passed my NREMT-B this week, do you need to take a state test to get your state license or does it come as a "combo"? May be a dumb question but im unsure.

Found out today I passed! Stopped at 75

Your going to have a blast! Stay focused, pay attention, study, and you will do great! Good Luck!!

EXACTLY what I mean right there! Thanks Wendy, theres so many medics out there that think they are Gods its unreal. I respect EMT's of all levels because it takes a special person to do this but I find it hard to respect one who thinks they walk on water.

I think giving someone a reality check is good, but that was just kind of rude in alot of ways. Next time, try telling them to buckle down and study hard rather than "the basic course is below a high school level," etc. I am not trying to be rude myself I just know that can be interpreted wrongly.

Those of you who say people who have failed a basic exam is not cut out for it may need to open their eyes and realize they are not the "GENIUS" that their mommas have always told them. A good friend of mine was a 3rd year MED student who failed his basic because test anxiety and now is one of the best ER docs in Oklahoma City. Heck half the Paramedics fail their basic exam and now are extraordinary medics. Might want to watch what you say and try not to discourage the new up and coming basics.

What is the website for REACT ambulance service?

So what private services are hiring?? haha just messing with you

I feel pretty confident but not arrogant about it because that will definently bite me hard if I do. Thank you and ill let yall know asap!

We were told to get online and sign up, that of which I have done. I called the state office and they seemed to not know a single thing about it. But anyways I got it set up now thanks!

I havent gotten any straight forward answers in regards to where the computer based testing is taken place at.. Anyone who knows of a location between okc and tulsa please let me know.

Thanks. That was what I was thinking.

I finish my EMT-B the first week of June. My question is do I need to wait to get my NR in order to apply for a service? I understand there is usually a month to two month academy and by the time that is over and done with ill be long registered.

I for one have to say that my experience with EMSA is awesome! The medics I rode with were VERY helpful and open to any questions I had and treated me like I was part of the crew and gave me resonsibilities that helped me learn so much more than using a dummy.

Heard there may be one at Moore Norman Tech. Anyone else hear this?

What was your toughest chapter or section while taking emt-b?

Thanks for the info guys. I've also been discussing brining in an EMT-I instructor for a small group of us if we can get one to do it. One of the local suburb fire depts did that not very long ago.

Hey if this happens let me know because I would be very interested in doing this. I live in Edmond but would have no problem commuting to Tulsa a couple nights a week, even so I would like to get on EMSA in the Tulsa area upon graduating.

After completion of the EMT-B, how would you rate the difficulty in obtaining a Paramedic License after the BLS background knowledge you have already obtained?
