well i figured it out and now im working on getting all my skkills memorized and working on my clinicals

Ask away William. Los paramedicos de este foro trataremos de responder.

i cant make out very many words in wat u said in spanish... i can see paramedic and responder but other than that cant find anything else

the binder is being used for a study reference.. it has all my notes and all of my instructors power point presentations for each chapter in it along with all of my review stuff and skill sheets so i was trying to find a way to better organize it

ive already started the class.. im four months into it and we are getting ready to start clinicals.. in which i actually am starting next week

but honestly im all new at this and really am nervous at asking questions and cant figure out which ones to ask.. if i could get any help would help me a lot

i appreciate the help but can my english grammar and such issue be put by the away side and can i get some advice on how i can really get more into all the class and everything... yes i am young and taking on a lot for being this young... but im trying to get some help to point me in the right direction so i can actually get my emt license

and sorry to all i was coming off as a jerk to

..............................

I won't bite this hook because I suspect you are very young.

Let me just say as a generic statement "I passed it in school" is not a good defence, either in court, practicum, or consulting experts in the subject matter.

The proof is in the pudding my friend, and I guarantee your school has not prepared you to write legal documentation regarding patient care.

oooo i see a spelling mistake in your reply on my topic its defense not defence sir

plus im starting into clinicals before long to add to that so ill get my practice

im actually sitting in classes which doesnt help me any... my teacher wont stick with one language she will be speaking english more than spanish

Of course you really aren't forming english sentences yet either

Little humor there for ya.

On a serious note, have you considered an online english writing course?

Going into EMS with terrible writing skills is going to open you up to legal problems with your patient care documentation. This will really plague you for your entire career.

i can do patient documentation with no problems passed that in my class

something like that i guess and hey now im not that far into spanish yet.. im still going through grammar stuff and not forming spanish sentences yet

Easy boys....he may look tasty and new, but let's not ruin him, shall we?

William, what Mobey and Mike are so eloquently trying to tell you is that we need more information from you to be able to understand what help you are seeking. Obviously you're about to undertake EMT training and you're nervous and excited. Your desire to be prepared is admirable, but we can't really help you much because EMT training differs from one school to the next. Even within the same institution different instructors will have different teaching styles. We'd love to help you, really, we would, but we need more information from you because we simply don't have enough information to answer your questions.

• What is the name of your text?
  
• What state are you taking your training
  
• What educational institution, This is optional because some don't want to identify such...especially if you return in a few weeks to tell us how horrible your school is and had forgotten that you'd identified it in a previous post. This could bite you in the ass.
  

Finally, unless you stumble across someone here who took the same training from the same instructor as you, you're unlikely to get a definitive answer. However, there are many here who could give you many tips and ideas for successful completion.

Here's my tip, throw out the dividers. EMS involves critical thinking and problem solving with the tools you have. It is very rarely structured and definitely does not flow like the chapters of a book. You need to be able to encompass everything in your environment, evaluate it, and determine what information you process is valuable and what is not.

Good Luck!!!

the text we are using is brady prehospital care ninth edition

im training in the state of missouri

and its a technical college in rolla

plus im really starting this at a younger age... im only in my late teens so im still in high school and doing this at the same time just like i did last year with fire classes i was taking

english is my first language i have just had an inherited issue with english and spelling. im trying to learn spanish as a second language

thats not the grammar issue i just am not good at using english. i can speak it just not write it or type it

i was meaning the divisions for the chapters like the over all groups for each group of chapters.. like chapters 1 through 6 in my book is all prepatory. and chapters 11 through 13 is patient assessment. does anyone know the other divisions

i know my grammer sucks! and i know about all the neatly kept uniform and all that.. i am a firefighter. but thanks for the pointers

Hello William,

Good on you for studying to be an EMT!

EMS is one of the quirkiest but coolest subcultures you can find. It is both exciting and rewarding.

Don't be shy because you are just starting. We will be happy to help you along as you go through school. I have found the scenarios to be particularly rewarding in practicing skills and thinking out of the box.

Welcome to the EMTCITY!
