  1. Thanks for the welcome. Last 4 days before the Final Practical Exam so busy, busy, busy!
  2. Been following this site for a couple years. I'd been interested in being an EMT for well over a decade but was either too busy or too scared to try making a move to this profession. I'm just about to finish this three month intensive course next week for EMT-B. Still have the final Practical & Written, then it'll be off to take the State Exam first week in September. Supposedly the courses' finals are much harder than the states, so hopefully I can pass those two. Feeling pretty confident with the Practical, Written...not so much. Damn Cardio subjects. Been an exhausting process and a ton of learning. Test-wise, Anatomy nearly killed me since I'd never taken any med-related classes in my life. PT. Assessment took a little bit, but just about have it down pat even if history taking is still touch and go trying to to change from OB/GYN-Medical-Trauma and the subtle differences between the three situations. Excelled at Medical Emergencies and Trauma as well as Splinting/Traction materials. Thankfully they have the Practical Exam grading guidelines posted so that's a big help IMO. Now to find a practice test for the Written Exam. Anybody in Boston have any experience finding a job after your EMT-B certification stuff is finished? I don't know how difficult it is to even get a job as an EMT-B or what it involves. I'm interested being in a pre-hospital setting but also very curious how EMT-Bs get jobs in an ER, which I've yet to find much information about or even what they're called to look up requirements. Maybe down the road I'll look into training for a Dispatcher job, but that'll have to wait.
