My daughter just found out she passed the test, she is now a state certified EMT
Edited to say.. oops I was just admonished, she is Nationally certified.

Here's hoping!

EMT is easy, EMT-P is brutal as training goes...it is...intense. While she saves and puts her time, what we used to tell our EMTs was to start doing some reading, find out pharmacology for the county. That and ALS are the killers, both ALS and PALS.
