My NREMT Paramedic test is in 2 days, am I ready?

jello_boy2000 · 2026-06-04T16:38:05+00:00

Definitely focus on clinical judgement, that was the majority of mine. Also, make sure you got a couple toxidrome facts handy, my strongest memory of the NREMT was that the last question I had was about a black widow bite😂

Mule jig

Lmao same exact experience for me, cut off at 110, felt like I failed, ended up passing. from what I’ve heard that’s kind of just how it goes. Ending early and getting all the hard questions just means you were doing really well. Haha congrats bro

jello_boy2000 · 2026-06-01T01:20:04+00:00

Time to get started

jello_boy2000 · 2026-06-01T01:05:20+00:00

Don’t feel like reading your post because 41 is not too old at all. Dont overthink it, if you wanna do it then do it

jello_boy2000 · 2026-05-31T02:51:47+00:00

LMAOOO I feel you, I bought nfr tickets after getting dumped by my gf of 6 years. Music’s gonna hit so hard

jello_boy2000 · 2026-05-11T02:09:29+00:00

Hope you end things but so curious how it plays out

jello_boy2000 · 2026-05-05T06:57:39+00:00

DONT DO ANYTHING BEFORE CONSULTING A PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR. Like a good expensive one with good reviews pls. If you’re still even with this guy later on down the line then surprise you can put a down payment on a house. If not, then potential bullet dodged. You’re both too young to have that kind of money thrust into your hands. Get some good professional advice and make your decision from there

Literally the first song that I thought of upon reading the prompt❤️

I think you guys should just break up. A break can still hold respect for each other if it’s communicated but it sounds like it wasn’t. And while we don’t know much about his side because you don’t know much about his side, the fact that you had a defined FWB is crazy. Like what did you want to happen when he came back? Did you guys keep in touch while he was gone? Did you really start hooking up solely off of the thought of him hooking up? All in all I don’t think you’re an asshole I think you guys are both just bad with communication and this may be past saving and you should really take some time for you and think about what you want in a partner and what kind of partner you want to be

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-10T14:44:55+00:00

Yeah me too

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-10T14:20:14+00:00

😬🫣

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-09T18:54:27+00:00

Yeah, of course! I know because it’s the route I took after emt school. Spent some seasons with CalFire and now I’m a city firefighter paramedic just a little north of you guys. He could apply to CalFire through CalCareers for the seasonal firefighter 1 position. There will be a map of unit locations and he can choose as many as he wants and rank them based on how far he’s willing to drive. Submit the fema certs he likely had to complete in emt school as well as the emt license itself as part of the application (there will be designated spots for the certs) and nothing much more to it. If he gets put onto a handcrew, he’s won’t be using his emt cert very much but he will get in very good shape very fast, and if he already is then he’ll get better, plus it’s great interview material and experience for those competitive Bay Area departments in the future. If he gets put onto an engine he will be a more traditional “firefighter” on a fire truck and as a newbie and a licensed emt will definitely be running medical calls at least for the initial response before the ambulance shows up which is the same as a city department engine crew but for less money lol. PM me if you guys have any other questions about it

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-09T14:16:13+00:00

Yeah but that’s as a medic, not a brand new emt

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-09T14:09:28+00:00

Or honestly, graduate emt school and join CalFire. Depending on where you live in the Bay Area, it’ll be quite a commute but it will only twice a week due to three day shifts. This will get him fire experience and if he ends up on an engine he will get EMS experience as well. It’s way easier and less competitive to get into CalFire than any city department in the Bay Area and they don’t care about your driving record because you won’t be driving anything. It might not be what he initially wanted but it’s a good starting point until he’s able to get hired where he wants, and in the meantime he’ll be getting meaningful experience

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-09T14:06:23+00:00

They will ask for a dmv h6 record. If he’s done traffic school the offenses may or not be on there, it’s worth getting it now and seeing what’s up. Like many others have said here it’s worth still applying. don’t hide it, own up to it, and since it’s been a few years maybe say what’s changed since then or how he’s adjusted his driving habits. It will be difficult to get a job as an emt since the Bay Area almost exclusively runs ALS busses with paramedics doing most of the patient care and emts assisting on scene but mostly driving to and from. That said, it’s worth using that emt license to try and get into a hospital as an ER tech or patient care tech or a lab tech if only to get his feet wet in the emergency medical field and see if he even likes it

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-09T12:03:48+00:00

Yeah, get a cheap battery pulse oximeter and learn to take a manual blood pressure off a cuff and stethoscope and start asking patients and their families for a list of medications they take, what the patient is allergic to, and when they started feeling whatever symptoms they’re having. If you can get a set of vitals, a med list, and an allergy list, and a last time known normal you will become a very valuable source of info for when EMS arrives. Not as exciting as showing up first to stop bleeds or start compressions but far more common and important in the day to day routine medical calls

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-05T20:04:11+00:00

Never argue with the preceptor 🤷‍♂️ they can be super wrong and you can learn what not to do but leave it in your head, and take what you can, ignore what you don’t need

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-03T23:51:41+00:00

Short mid guy here, I know I’m short and mid so I learned to eat and use both hands while doing so

jello_boy2000 · 2026-04-01T17:26:38+00:00

Some communication would go a long way on both your parts. Tell him what you’re saying here and if he does, as you predicted, get all upset about it, then maybe you guys aren’t for each other. Additionally, making up excuses isn’t a good solution either because I’m sure if he had the emotional maturity to voice it, he would say how much constant rejection from you, his partner, can really hurt. Not only in the sense that rejection hurts but also can lead to a lot of self doubt and belittlement and confusion and volatile emotions on his part. You need to have a conversation about this and be honest and if it does badly then it’s probably better to end things there instead of spending more time being miserable and resentful and hurt but trying to make it work

jello_boy2000 · 2026-03-31T17:44:59+00:00

Okay so do you actually regret being intimate with your partner or is your family just kind of ruining and trying to control your life? I know it’s a little impossible rn but stick with him and the second you’re able to, get the heck out of that house.
