A Blind Hog finds an Acorn....!

Just got the results from my test, and I PASSED IT!!!!

It was kind of a letdown, I went in prepared for a rigorous exam covering everything from drug calc to mega code, and instead, the questions were seemingly easy.

Guess that shows how well our instructor taught the class, her test had your brain smoking. Thank God for that.

She didn't focus on "How to Pass Registry" but rather on how to be a paramedic, and how to treat your patients. So relax Dust.

Anyway, in spite of pissing off a few preceptors, my wife, and co-workers, its over and now I am a Green Paramedic.

Congratulations! Monkey mill medics, taught to pass the test (as opposed to truly educated), rarely come out believing it was easy. You're either an exception, or you got a good education. Time to walk the walk!

First off, congrats!

Second, a question: What does the string title have to do with passing the test? Must be in that 747 just flew over my house, as it was over my head.

Thanks for the congrats. First off, the credit for passing goes to my instructor who made us learn how to be a paramedic, her test were designed to test your knowledge, not your ability to pass a test. As I said, they smoked our brains. Her theory was/is having the knowledge will allow you to pass the test without having the registry type questions pounded in your head.

I went into it thinking it would be a fairly easy course, (dumb ass me) and quickly discovered that it would require a ton of effort and lots of study. And, I am glad for every hard test she gave us.

I guess thats why I felt the registry questions were easy, because they were not near in depth as what I was used to taking on her test. In fact, it scared the crap out of me because I thought I was overlooking something.

As for the title, well, you kinda have to be a southerner to appreciate it, but the entire saying is.

Even a blind hog finds an acorn sometimes. Meaning, of course, that even a dumbass like me sometimes catches a break.

Oh.
