EMT Foose Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 School starts tomorrow! I'm a pretty laid back guy, always able to keep my cool...but I'm pretty nervous about this! It's a very reputable school (AMA accreditation #001), tough selection process, and they expect a lot out of their students. I hope my best is enough to make it through! I've pre-read the entire A&P book, know my 3-lead ekg's pretty well, and have a good idea about ACLS. Any advice from students or from you old-timers would be greatly appreciated!

spenac Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Study, study, study. I will be down with mine soon so it will end even though it is over whelming at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texman Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Study! ACLS and Medical Emergencies are the main things to retain. I've been a medic for a little while now and if I knew then what I know now I would have been much more interested in Med Emergency. 95% or more of your calls will be medical. Study! I guess the other main thing is to study alot! Be thankful your school is tough. The tougher the school is the easier your NR will be. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMT Foose Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Oh I will be a reading fool, don't worry! I actually like a good medical call just as much as a good trauma, so I'll definitely be paying attention to the details of all that. Thanks for the replies!

mshow00 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I am a current student and my advice is pre-read and study up on your A&P and pathophys. My school hit very very hard on them, telling us the the NR test was heavily laced with those type of questions. If you can study acid-base balance, having a grasp on that will help. Be prepared to study then study and study some more. Then when you're tired study just a little bit more. Then go to work for 40+ hrs. Then on your off days when you are not studying you will be busy with clinicals. Just remember your ultimate goal, and you will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
