im a basic going to medic…any tips?
Mistie I’m not an EMT nor a paramedic nor anything really. However my tips for you are
- have a positive attitude
- know EMT-B well
- work hard
- study effectively
- learn how to take vocational tests (NREMT tests are designed like technician tests such as Micrsoft certification tests not like education tests such as MCAT & LSAT)
- manage time well
- don’t work during training
- communicate with your instructor(s) well
That’s a great list of points to focus on Tim.
Regarding EMTs contemplating medic school, I actually just wrote a post with some ‘pre medic school tips’. You’ll find it above.
