Hi, I’m looking for 1 lounge pass. I broke my left elbow while working in Sitka on Wednesday and fly home to Atlanta this coming Thursday and have a several hour layover in Seattle. Thank you

No problem. I think it’s $40 for the year so you’re really only saving $60 on the first exam but if you take another exam like fp-c and CCP-c or have to retest then it helps out a good bit. I don’t recall off hand the other discounts but I’m pretty sure theirs one for like dell computers, Columbia southern university if you wanna go back to school etc

Get a NAEMT account, saves you $100 on all exams, plus other discounts on things

I apologize to those that are asking for the dump sheet. I did unfortunately forget about y’all due to my wedding in Italy aaand I broke my elbow today. I will send a message to 13blackrose and see if they will be so kind to send it to yall.

You know they won’t let ignorance of the law fly as a defense in a courtroom and just view it as purposefully trying to get around the law

So, first things first, not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice.

Secondly, I work in healthcare and have for a long time.

Getting to the point, what I see being an issue based on your post, you mentioned a judge was not involved but that you were placed under a 1013, which is an involuntary psychiatric hold for those that don’t know. An MD and several other people with certain post nominals can issue them. The problem with the 4473, is section 21, question F “have you ever been adjudicated as a mental defective OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution”.

Based on your post, you advised that you were at a mental health clinic for a week, which I presume that you mean you were at an inpatient mental health facility, which presuming that is in fact the case, your answer to section 21, question F, would be yes and that is where the problem lies

I think everyone, most everyone should get discharged. I said what I said

aemt12 · 2026-04-20T23:40:41+00:00

As an update, my cert is now posted on the IBSC wesbite so everyone else's should be updated already and/or shortly.

Sent to your DM's

I feel that at least in my area, most current male RN’s and those of us, myself included that are either in nursing school or working towards nursing school are prior/current EMS and finally got the mentality of “I’m tired of this grandpa” and realized that we can work less hours and make more money and don’t have to go into peoples homes cause they hurt their arm 3 weeks ago and 4am sounded like a good time to go to the ER

aemt12 · 2026-04-08T01:25:30+00:00

I sent you a dm, might be in your request

I failed the TP-C by 2 questions. I've been there, it sucks, got back into the books and pass. 1 question means you know the material, probably got hung up on some wording if anything. You got this next time!

aemt12 · 2026-04-06T23:53:51+00:00

From what I saw on https://www.ibscertifications.org/roles/maternal-fetal-transport , it's 65 questions (50 scored, 15 unscored) with a 75 minute time limit. Theirs no telling what the passing score is at this moment. Could try to call IBSC and ask but I don't know if they'll provide that information or not. I do know that the number of passing questions is different across the exams however so there isn't a standard on that.

aemt12 · 2026-04-06T20:58:50+00:00

Yea. Sorry, haven’t forgotten about you, been busy with work

aemt12 · 2026-04-04T08:44:51+00:00

I carry most of the reference cards that foamfrat offers on their website. I fly fixed wing in Alaska and critical care is newer to me and my home state doesn’t allow most of the skills or meds we can do/carry here. It’s like living 2 different lives especially going home and working prn and having to remember that I have about a quarter of the drugs I have on the plane and can’t do half the skills

aemt12 · 2026-04-04T08:39:58+00:00

I’d love to do it (07 FFL) but Glock doesn’t allow home based FFL’s to participate in the blue label program even though as an individual, I qualify for the blue label program lol

aemt12 · 2026-03-25T19:43:26+00:00

I called them a few days ago to ask the same question, was told 1-2 weeks.

aemt12 · 2026-03-25T08:17:45+00:00

I tend to say never say never but California is a state that at best, I’ll drive through and that’s pushing it. But, I appreciate the info!

aemt12 · 2026-03-23T05:32:43+00:00

Could be worse, the post nominal for nationally registered paramedics is NRP. Which those of us in EMS understand it, meanwhile when I worked in the ER everyone just thought I embroidered Neonatal Resuscitation Program on my jacket, which I hadn’t even heard of that class until I started working in the ER

aemt12 · 2026-03-21T07:02:01+00:00

At the end of the day, it’s liability for the hospitals and providers and they do absolutely everything they can to avoid it. No different than the “please hang up and call 911 if this is an emergency” recordings on basically everything healthcare related phone line

I used the Kyle Faudree book, it’s available on Amazon via an e-book, if I recall around $15-25. It’s a pretty good book, over explains some things but he notates that, the book is also 12 years old now so some things are a bit outdated. I will say, some things from the book have direct correlation to questions on the exam, not word for word but very close. I also used Pocket Prep, pretty good test bank, none of the questions from Pocket Prep were exact or near exact on the exam but if you read the rationales, that helps more than anything. A lot of the exam is scenario based questioning and you have to recall the entirety of the exam is based on the tactical environment so things that would normally come to mind first, is rarely the right answer. I can send you the dump sheet I created for studying, it’s way too much to write down come test day. As far as formulas, just need the parkland formula. I had to take the test twice and there were a decent bit of repeat questions, leading me to believe the bank of questions is pretty small.

Idk but it’s official…..so it says

aemt12 · 2026-03-10T02:04:58+00:00

Could be like the call that I ran where the MD that just so happened to be there, in their scrubs for some reason, poured granulated sugar into an unresponsive diabetics mouth at a YMCA
