Ana

Congratulations. Now the real learning process can begin.

Bring it on...

Hey! I can tell by personal experience that I believe his difficulty is not language barrier! I am from south America and had a hard time (still have) connecting the dots when it comes to English, specially spoken English! I suggest a lot of reading and studying with questions based books! You may google or search for your training level! It worth the investment!

I passed nremt today!!! Aha...oh yeah, oh yeah... I passed I passed oh yeah...aha...aha!!!!

You will do fine...keep us posted! My fingers r crossed...

Good job! Your "Roberto Carlos" is flawless

Ana, don't get your feelings hurt Babe...Honest.

You're going to find that one of the major values of the City is that answers come pretty straight, without all of the the, "You want to be a CC-P? You rock!" Which of course might make all of us feel better, but there's no real information in it.

Many times, perhaps most, you'll truly find the love in those that say, "What are you thinking? Walk me through this because there's a chance that you're about to step on your wee wee"...or...well, let's not consider the female equivelent as that's kind of grody.

You've made a really good start here, I'd hate for you to read the above as people calling you an idiot wannabe, 'cause that's just not what's happening. I know though, that when you're new, many times it's easy to read it that way.

Try and see the respect in the fact that some of the most important posters on the City felt that they didn't need to talk to you like you're a delicate child, that they believe you strong enough to particiapte with having things wrapped in velvet, then reread the comments and see if they have a different energy for you...

On my first day of basic class they asked everyone to stand up and explain their goals. I said, "I'm going to be a flight medic." All of the instructors looked at my giant, pale, 300# ass (none applies any more) and smiled, yet it was the smile that most reserve for mentally challenged children...and you know why? Because I was a friggin' idiot. But I learned, and I'm less of an idiot today, though not by much...

There's not a single thing wrong with your question...and you've been given some good advice, by good folks, and that's should make you feel awesome. Bottom line, in my sometimes not so humble opinion.

I appreciate your concern! I am not made by glass and do not brake down over people's opinions! I was interested and curious about something related to this career! I will always ask as long as there is someone out there to answer and...trust me...whatever you say will be use by me in my favor and favor of others! I don't feel an idiot but I wanted just to be understanded as someone looking for information! That is it! Simply as that! And I got some really good ones for probably really good people! It was good and I feel awesome!

Understood " sorry" I apologize for terrible grammar sometimes

Oh well! I won't apologize anymore cos it is one mistake after the other! Ok I will get experience after learn English and thennnm be a critical care of something

No worries, I don't believe you are being pretentious. I am attempting to find out exactly what you mean by CCEMTP. Are you referring to the specific programme I've mentioned or the more nebulous concept of critical care education? Also, I am not well versed on your education, so it would be premature to make a definitive statement on your ability to learn from an online programme. However, assuming you are a newly minted paramedic that grossly approximates an entry level paramedic in the United States, I still believe experience will be your best bet.

Yes I am a close to be newly minted that grossly approximate an entry level paramedic in this great country called United States! And I am proud of it! I appreciate your advice and I will greatly consider it! Thanks

You are right! I am about to get it as soon I pass my practicals! I am sorry but I type on my phone and sometimes I don't check what I wrote! The reason I got to this website was to gather info on how to be a good medic and I thought the class was one resource besides others

I have people in my class that started the critical care before finish class and the only reason I did not take also was time! They are not more experienced than me so I thought it would not be a big deal!

I am not trying to show off and I do not need anyone to place me down! I know I am not as experienced as you guys and that is the reason I register here! To learn a little more! My question has no pretentiousness!

Thanks! I am not trying to be pretentious! I am planning to get a lot of real world experience and be as good entry level paramedic as my knowledge allows me to! However I though it would not hurt get some education aside!

Oh my goodness DFIB! Your Portuguese is amazingly fluent! I feel defeated...

Well! I am interested in taking critical care classes as I just got my paramedic license and since I do not have much time! I want to know if others ever experienced online classes and how they go!

Have anyone taken a on -line CCEMTParamedic?

I am Brazilian! Brazilians speak Portuguese! I also learned Spanish and English here...talking to friends and at EMT school!

"que hora es?" may be a really important assessment question...if he/she answers : "Domingo"! Just intubate and transport...just sayin

Now that's just plain funny Ana ! +

Just sayin....

3 years ago I didn't speak English! So...where else I would get a job where your actions are more important than what you say???

Triplets?

You are an example...I know you will continue providing your patients the same care as before or even better!

Hey everyone! My name is Ana and I would like to introduce myself! I just passed my written national for paramedic and will be taking practicals soon! Just found out about this site and want to use it as a resource...nice to meet everyone!
