So I took the NREMT on Saturday, and left thinking I failed. It didn't help that it asked me a question on peristalsis, which I didn't learn about in class and wasn't in the book (I double-checked when I got home). Unfortunately, it unsettled me for the rest of the exam. I didn't see where it said the question number I was on when I finished, but I think I was around the 80s. I was in there for 45 minutes or so. I waited on baited breath until Monday afternoon, when I found out I passed. Yay! Phew!!
So next step for me is the DMV ambulance test, which I have planned for tomorrow. Yes, I know that the five steps of defensive driving are knowledge, alertness, vision, judgement, and skill. Hopefully I know the rest of the handbook as well!
Today I had a lot of fun at Stanford. They had a training exercise for emergency responders, and I got made up to look "cool and clammy," suffering from hypoglycemia, alert and oriented only to my name. I would have loved to be one of the victims who had active bleeding..."blood" pumping from their wounds. Make-up is fun!
Anyway, still going forward towards my immediate goals, and picked up my MCAT physics book to start remembering the physics I'd learned for the longer goals...
Ciao for now!
