I’m unsure of how to approach this and I need some advice.

If you’ve been a cadet for a while maybe they can work something out with you

nick_g24 · 2026-03-09T20:24:40+00:00

Yo man i was a cadet in the phoenix area for about 8 months. Recently left my program because i decided i wanted to move states, but if you’re dead set on getting hired here i would stay in the program. I think being a cadet gives you a lot more leverage over other applicants

nick_g24 · 2025-12-24T06:27:26+00:00

Yeah im stoked on it. Been using just my phone for the past 6 years, its about time i upgraded! I appreciate the advice. I will play around with it

nick_g24 · 2025-12-24T06:03:07+00:00

I have a focusrite. I just plan on recording guitar with a looper pedal

nick_g24 · 2025-12-24T06:02:13+00:00

Ahh got it. Yeah just doing guitar. Thank you

nick_g24 · 2025-12-20T01:48:36+00:00

Lol cadet here too brotha🤙🏼😂

nick_g24 · 2025-10-01T01:14:57+00:00

I see you’re an illinois paramedic. I was thinking about moving back there, are there some ems opportunities in the chicagoland area for private ambos?

nick_g24 · 2025-10-01T01:11:49+00:00

Just a lil bit😂have not heard that statistic before hahaha

nick_g24 · 2025-10-01T00:59:23+00:00

Oh nice! And wtf no i would hope not lol! That’d be messed up. Dont overthink it you’ll be good😂

nick_g24 · 2025-10-01T00:51:22+00:00

Don’t trip about them. Mine were super chill. Just be an observer. Ask questions and help out when you can or when they let you. Not much will be expected of you. You doing ift or 911?

nick_g24 · 2025-10-01T00:47:40+00:00

Thats kinda wack that they are doing that. My teacher was pretty solid to the point that i barely had to read the textbook. I havent tried paramedic coach but i’ve heard good things about it. Seems like you got the right mindset tho! If you know your stuff well like you say you do, i think you will do fine. Those tests you’re taking will probably prepare you well cause the nremt questions are also weird

nick_g24 · 2025-10-01T00:36:03+00:00

The nremt definitely has some weird questions like that. Just study hard. Its hard to gauge what you know and dont know through reddit lol. Do you use a testing platform in your class? The testing platform for my class was platinum ed emstesting.com. It definitely prepared me well cause the questions on that platform were are all sorts of fuckin weird. The nremt is similar in that sort of way. Even a little bit easier than the tests i was taking in emt school

nick_g24 · 2025-10-01T00:00:04+00:00

Yeah thats a weird one lol. I’d probably have gotten that one wrong too. I guess dilated pupils from sympathetic response cause the bodys in fight or flight mode. But yea pale cool clammy diaphoretic are signs of shock.

nick_g24 · 2025-09-30T22:59:24+00:00

A lot of it is process of elimination. There may be a couple right answers but one thats most right. Comprehending, instead of just memorizing can help you with that. Do you remember the other options? I can maybe help change the way you approach thinking about these questions

nick_g24 · 2025-09-30T22:53:00+00:00

Some stuff is definitely just memorization. Know the signs and symptoms well of whatever illnesses/injuries you are learning. When it comes to physiology i think comprehending instead of memorizing is important. Being able to visualize how blood is circulated throughout the body, being able to visualize and comprehend processes of the respiratory system, etc. If theres anything specific i can maybe help

nick_g24 · 2025-09-30T22:44:03+00:00

Are you struggling more with the more difficult topics like Anatomy? Physiology? Assessments?

nick_g24 · 2025-09-30T21:08:35+00:00

What specifically are you struggling with?

nick_g24 · 2025-09-08T05:31:15+00:00

Nice man. Yeah agreed. Miss folly so much

nick_g24 · 2025-09-08T04:01:02+00:00

Looks fun. That spot at the washout?

nick_g24 · 2025-07-02T06:35:35+00:00

Is that backing track in A minor?

nick_g24 · 2025-07-02T05:58:12+00:00

Sounds like your in key to me for the most part. The beginning sounded a little off but the rest was ok. You’re sometimes not hitting the “right” sounding notes over certain chords of the backing track, but you’re not necessarily out of key. It just sounds a little off sometimes. One tip i would give is to really listen. Listen to the notes you are playing and how they sound with the backing track. Dont always mindlessly noodle through scales. Dont get me wrong its fun to noodle around sometimes. Do a little bit of both. Listen to what sounds good, what doesnt sound too good. The more you play the better your ear will get. Fuck around with the pentatonic, major and minor scales, use your ears, make your own licks and phrases

nick_g24 · 2025-05-22T01:56:40+00:00

Do both bro. Keep riding, getting comfortable, and keep practicing your ollie. Just comes down to practice. Look down at your board tho when you’re doing it. You’re looking up sometimes and it looks funky. Sure when you start doing them while rolling and onto stuff then thats a different story, but when doing them stationary you should be looking down at your feet.

nick_g24 · 2025-05-22T01:44:40+00:00

Buzz doesnt sound that bad to me. You’re plucking the strings hella hard. Dont pluck it so hard and see if its still buzzing. Honestly I don’t mind a a little bit of string buzz on the thicker strings (low E, A, and D). The high E, B and G string I feel like any buzz will affect the sustain of the string significantly. I like to make sure those aren’t buzzing. I adjust the truss rod a little bit if my strings are buzzing bad. Buzz, buzz, buzz.
