Unofficially... YOU PASSED!

-
     Challenging the NREMT this weekend was both nerve racking and extremely exciting. I went down to Concord, NH for testing. I took a day long prep class on Saturday from Kat and she was amazing. She was extremely through and an awesome instructor. I learned things that I had no idea about that very much explained why I failed my first attempt at the exam! I was incredibly frustrated with the quality of the equipment at my home exam after seeing what these people use.

     I took my exam through Becker Training Associates and it was amazing how well it was put together. Everyone was extremely professional. The people testing you are well trained and do this every month so they know exactly what to look for. Talking to my class instructor after he said that he always suggest people go there if they fail the first time and he has never once heard bad things from people coming back. I wish my local training centers and testing sites would learn a thing or two from them.

     I have unofficially passed, the official results will be on the NREMT around Friday. I think I did pass though. I'm extremely proud that I'm one step closer to a paramedic. If anyone is thinking about challenging the national registry or wants to move to the next level in their training I strongly encourage you to try. The knowledge from every class I take is always useful at some point (except for GEMS... but that's just me.)

      I learned things that I will bring to my everyday practice on the streets. I am extremely glad I went there and I suggest it for anyone in the New England area. Next step... Written...

How-To Festival and Block Party This was the 3rd annual How-To Festival . I've never been to a "How-To" festival before, It was very interesting! From writing prompts to 3D printing, a large variety of arts were present. My personal favorite were tech related of course. I learned that the Maine State Library UP room is a thing! While I haven't had the opportunity to work on projects, I hope to in the very near future! I entirely understand that this video is not a production miracle. My goals are just to create. I've spent months watching videos on how to make videos... Yet I haven't been making them... So, I have to start somewhere. I am hoping to do a weekly Adventure log to be posted on Mondays. I just found my school has an open computer lab on Mondays! I am really excited to start working on a decent computer! I will be making more content as time goes on! My current interest are photography, Youtube videos, and Podcasting. I am working to bui

THAT unknown medical.

-
     You're called to residence for an unknown medical.  Short response time to scene.      Once you arrive you gain access by unlocked door and find patient slumped to the right in a kitchen chair and moaning "oh my head, it hurts" over and over.  Patient responds to speech by only continued moans.  Patients medications suggest significant cardiac history.  Patient rapidly moved to stair chair and moved to ambulance.  While moving patient from the house he stops moaning and is no longer responding to voice, only painful stimulus.
